Another avene product that I bought and I regret deeply. I bought this this August because I'm in immediate leave for a trip to NY. This is the highest SPF reading that's for sensitive skin and that i can find in CVS. It's tinted with medium brown-skin town color but the color is nice, since i have couperose so the tint actually covers the blood vessels. But it is OVERLY OILY. Although it's said it's for sensitive areas, it's no good for my skin, I wore it for two days walking around NY streets. My face was constantly oily and shiny and pimples keep popping up. I later tried to use this thing one more time and pimples popped up again. So it's too oily clogging the pores and causing breakouts around my nose chin areas. And it's not that water resistant, because the sweat will wash it off the face and I still got some bit of sun spots afterwards.

This product is part of the 'Gamme Blanche', a line of products that only uses physical filters (Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide) for protection. All products are unfragranced and especially designed for (very) sensitive skin.
This 15 ml product comes in a small white tube and contains the highest amount of TO2 and ZO (15 and 7%) of this productline, which should mean a PPD between 5-10 (guestimation!).
The product is marketed as a ss for sensitive areas like lips and cheekbones. I thought it'd make a nice sunblock for the lips, maybe a bit whitening, but not too bad for a day on the beach. Great was my surprisement when deep-terracotta colored cream came out of the tube! Needless to say, this looks ridiculous on my lips, especially as I'm a guy..:-)
This may be a nice product to use as a concealer though. I'm going to give this to my mom, who has a lot of little broken veins on her cheeks. I can't get her to wear ss daily, but this may be some sort of tinted, foundation-like alternative...
