Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I chose the brand Avene because of its ingredients. An article from the Environmental Working Group said that the FDA was dawdling in approving sunscreen ingredients that are approved in Europe ([...]/). Avene contains the ingredients Tinosorb S and Tinosorb M, about which the EWG said: "Tinosorb S and M could be great solutions but are not yet available in the U.S. " Go to the site and read the information under the heading "8. Europe's better sunscreens."
Then, I chose Avene's Sunscreen Lotion for children because it has no fragrance, and the review of it said it worked well for the whole family. I've used it myself (adult female) and am very happy with how it feels on my face--rather, how it DOESN'T feel. My previous sunscreen is a nano-zinc formula that costs about the same as the Avene but makes the skin on my face feel "crawly" and suffocated.
The Avene lotion is drippy but if applied with caution will not escape onto my clothes or the floor. And, once it's on, I forget about it. I don't spend much time outdoors, but have pale skin that freckles easily, so just from driving the car I've had lots of freckles on hands and the left arm. There are fewer freckles since I've been using Avene every time I go out of the house--therefore I figure the product is working.
Avene's ingredients are unlike those of any sunscreens marketed in the USA. Therefore, even if you need a sunscreen for long-term exposure to the sun, or for swimming, I still think it's worth a try for anyone who's not happy with their current product, because this one's so different.
The greatest testimony possible is that my husband is willing to use it, since it's the only product yet that doesn't make his skin feel suffocated and sticky.
