AltruistDermatologist Sunscreen Fluid SPF – Superior 5star UVA face protection by Dr Andrew Birnie premium antioxidant, White, Unscented, 50 millilitre

This is my second time purchasing the normal SPF 50 because it’s such a great daily product that is affordable, looks great under my daily makeup, and is super moisturising too.I’ve had no issues with white cast when using this product, as a person with a light brown skin colour, and I haven’t find it to be too oily, which is something I usually hate about most sunscreens.I’ve also managed to get my mother and sister, both of whom suffer with dry skin, to absolutely love this product as they find it non-irritable, moisturising, and effective for preventing sun burn.

I was recommended this by my GP as I’m allergic to a lot of SPF and products ( she uses it on her family too ).I was pleasantly surprised it’s lovely to use, doesn’t really smell either and so I don’t really know you have it on .. & I don’t itch! This means I can use it every day at last a good quality sun protection cream that’s nice to wear and high factor fir both UVA & B not surprising it’s a dermatologist who produced it. Shortly after purchase i heard the article on Radio 4 interviewing the Consultant Dermatologist who created it & I like the fact that it’s priced to be more affordable than fancy brands and isn’t making big profits for a company. Will use as my SpF of choice now. Thanks.

It’s good sunscreen! And- it’s difficult to rub in which leaves you looking streaky and pale

I use this suncream on the kids every time we go abroad. It's a fantastic suncream. It's lightweight and non greasy, doesn't sting their eyes and is fast absorbing. Neither them nor I have ever been sunburnt whilst using this. It's very value for money and fantastic for those with sensitive skin.

I have bought this product 3 times over the last 5 years or so for beach holidays. And over the years it has been improved in every level. The packaging is much better than it used to be and the actual sunscreen now has the perfect consistency. Its not very thick which makes it easy to spread. It doesn't have a strong fragrance (if at all) and doesn't leave a shine or makes you look greasy. But more importantly it is very fairly priced which admirable especially for a relatively small company. Also they give a portion of profits to charity from every sale (which might be a drop in a bucket) but hey at least they are helping while giant companies don't usually do that. Last but not least it ticks all the boxes that one would want from a sunscreen: Great packaging, great product, great price and it is SPF 50 and water resistant and has a 5 star UVA rating which I have not seen on Amazon. I have found 4 star ratings but not 5. My advice to you is that if you do like it that you use a generous amount as one should when it comes to sunscreen. Sunscreens are not cosmetic creams. You need to apply generously. And the price of this product allows you to do that more easily.

I have sensitive, pale, mature dry skin and I heard great things about this brands spf and thought I’d give it a go. When I came to the Amazon page, I discovered there was an anti redness & pigmentation option in the green packaging and thought it would be perfect for me.I did read the reviews and noted some complained of it being very orange with photos, however some reviews with photos showed it as a normal white colour. I decided to try it, thinking perhaps it was a reaction with certain skincare products making it go orange.When it arrived, it was in perfect condition, no damage to the box or product and tested it immediately on the back of my hand. Please see photos. As you can see against my white Scottish skin, it’s incredibly dark orange. Although I had no other products on my hands, so my belief that it was a reaction to other products wasn’t correct.I still tried it on my face, however I mixed it 50/50 with my old spf, hoping it would reduce the effect. However, my face looked ridiculous being bright orange.A makeup tip for if you suffer with redness in your skin is to apply a bronzer on the red areas before applying foundation or a skin tint. This helps neutralise the redness.I hoped this orange spf would perhaps do the same, but alas it didn’t help, it’s simply too strong of an orange.I have contacted Amazon as the item isn’t eligible for return and they did refund me with no issues or fuss. Thank you.I found the SPF sat nicely on the skin, hydrating and moisturising with a dewy finish. Nor did it accentuate any dry areas. It didn’t upset my skin, no stinging or discomfort. There was a very slight, but minor discomfort for an hour of my eyes, nothing as bad as other SPFs I’ve tried. It claims to help redness and as you can see on my hands, I do suffer from psoriasis and my skin gets very red and angry. This SPF only reduced the redness by approximately 5%.I’m still confused to why the reviews are varied, with some like me receiving a product that turns orange and some where it remains white. My only conclusion is that either it’s a faulty batch or the product has gone off somehow.If the colour hadn’t been orange, I believe I would very much like this SPF and I am going to order the normal face version.Unfortunately, I can only rate it one star; despite having some good parts to this SPF: hydrating, non irritating, great ingredients etc, it essentially unusable due to the colour.All I can advise is to purchase the normal SPF and avoid this anti redness option.

This was recommended to me by someone who had read dermatological reports recommended them as reasonably priced, high-quality sun-blocks of various levels.It is simple to apply, is not sticky but feels more “substantial than some of the other lotions I have been using. It remains to be seen how effective it is but, so far, so good.
