Bioderma Photoderm AR+ Ultra-Fluid Anti-Redness Sunscreen SPF50+ 40ml provides very high sun protection while helping to reduce redness in reactive, rosacea-prone skin.
Bioderma Photoderm AR+ Ultra-Fluid Anti-Redness Sunscreen SPF50+ 40ml is a facial sunscreen developed for reactive skin prone to redness, offering very high protection with SPF50+. Beyond sun protection, the formula helps calm, hydrate, and visibly reduce redness and sensations of heat. The formula features Rosactiv 2.0, a patented technology that acts on the biological mechanisms underlying different types of redness and discomfort, reducing these effects with lasting results. This technology works in two ways: a neuro-soothing ingredient helps reduce excessive nerve response, while soothing polysaccharides help limit abnormal activation of the skin's natural defenses. Together, these components address redness and discomfort at their source.
The sunscreen's ultra-fluid texture is comfortable to wear, delivers hydration throughout the day, and sits well under makeup, making this product a practical option for daily use on reactive, redness-prone skin.
Shake before use. Apply Bioderma Photoderm AR+ Ultra-Fluid Anti-Redness Sunscreen SPF50+ 40ml to the face each morning as the last step of your skincare routine. Reapply regularly when exposed to the sun, and after swimming, perspiring, or towel-drying.
In this section we answer frequently asked questions about Bioderma Photoderm AR+ Ultra-Fluid Anti-Redness Sunscreen SPF50+ 40ml
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.
