FYI,
I wore bioderma max fluide spf 50 sunscreen today, applied liberally one hour before having lunch outside in the balmy parisian sun (read: NOT strong) and totally got a tan on my face today, as if I wasn't wearing ss at all...  So disappointing, I love the texture and how it feels on my skin.
Anyone else experience the same thing?
I think it is back to Skinceuticals sport spf 45 (mostly physical ss, even in mexico in 90 degree sunny weather, i stayed ghostly after one week) for me!

| i just typed a long answer and the forum lost it. too tired to retype.... please look at this thread for the sunscreen i'm using and the ingredients, Avene Emulsion SPF50+ http://www.essentialdayspa.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=22334. i was out in the exact same sun as avalange, give or take a few arrondissements, and did not get any colour on my face. unlike Bioderma (which will destabilise even with mineral powder -- which is why you got colour), you can wear makeup over the Avene. |

| I've mentioned before in Reviews that I got burnt using the Bioderma Fluide last summer. I put it down to the fact that my skin seemed overly sensitive at that time to the sun and this was southern China, but I was only walking home in the late afternoon so I wonder about this SS too. I'm thinking they're replacing this because it's no longer for sale on skincarecentral and its 'while stocks last' on Tubotica. Does anyone know? |

| Hi ladies - Any SS like Bioderma which contains avobenzone will be less effective when worn under makeup. Avobenzone is an effective chemical filter, but it's very unstable. Bioderma Photoderm MAX Fluide also contains Tinosorb which can stabilize it, but then the addition of makeup (especially MMU) will turn around and destabilize avobenzone. So avalange, if you applied some makeup on top (or anything else over or under that contains any metallic substances), this could've made the SPF and PPD value much less than optimal. That's why I switched back to Avene Emulsion SPF50+ -- it doesn't contain avobenzone. |

| For those in the U.S., I found Avene at CVS pharmacy today. |
Just fyi, the avene s/s in cvs is not the same as the avene s/s from overseas. |
Really? How so? I'm so disappointed. |
i'll put one in my luggage for you, okay? |
