Avène Sun Mat Ultra Fluid combines sun protection with a lightweight texture for daily use, ensuring the skin stays protected and shine-free.
Avène Sun Mat Ultra Fluid offers sun protection with a matte finish. It's available in a non-tinted version and a tinted option to perfect and unify the complexion. On one hand, this sunscreen effectively shields skin against UVB, UVA, and HEV blue light, while also protecting it from environmental pollution. At the same time, the ultra-fluid texture that feels as light as water leaves an invisible finish on the skin for a bare-skin effect. In particular, this sunscreen is designed for sensitive skin types, with a fragrance-free formula and optimal tolerance. Moreover, it boasts water-resistant properties. In summary, this sunscreen is an indispensable addition to any skincare regimen, providing lightweight protection and serving as an excellent makeup base.
Shake well before use. Apply a generous amount of Avène Sun Mat Ultra Fluid to the face at least 20 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply frequently, every 2 hours, and after perspiring, swimming, or toweling.
In this section we answer frequently asked questions about Avène Sun Mat Ultra Fluid
Sunscreen gets its protective power from ingredients called sun filters, which fall into two groups. "Mineral" is the common name for inorganic filters, of which there are only two: zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. "Chemical" is the common name for organic filters, which are carbon-based compounds and cover multiple different ingredients. A mineral sunscreen uses only inorganic filters, a chemical sunscreen uses only organic filters, and a sunscreen that combines both is known as a hybrid.
Both types of filters mainly protect the skin by absorbing UV radiation. Mineral filters, along with a few organic ones, also reflect a small portion of it.
SPF measures protection against UVB radiation. In the EU, the highest SPF on a cosmetic sunscreen label is SPF50+, which corresponds to the "very high protection" category and is used when the measured SPF is 60 or higher.
Some sunscreens, usually designed for specific skin conditions, are classified as medical devices rather than cosmetics, and these can show higher values, such as SPF100.
