Heartbroken that Avene has changed their sunscreen formulations, I tried this. It comes in a 40 ml tube, uses Tinosorb S and M, and has a slight peach tint to it, which horrified me at first. However, the tint disappears immediately. I used 1/2 tsp for face and neck. The cream goes on beautifully--very smoothly and created a wonderful base for my makeup. My skin is normal, and this dried less shiny on me than Avene. It actually absorbed rather than dried. It has a very, very faint smell--less than the scented Avene sunscreens.

*edited* I noticed at the end of the day, my face is a bit shiny. I wear powder mineral foundation over it, so could just add more if I were going out later or something.
