Reviews For Avene High Protection Tinted Compact SPF 50
Great sunscreen
Provides lasting sunscreen. Looks a little bit heavy but covers pores. I keep it in my purse to use throughout the day.

Good coverage. Need lighter shades
I like this foundation because the mineral sunscreen protection is excellent. It goes on very easily and covers well. My only problem with this is that even the lightest color is too dark for my fair skin. I took one star away for the limited color selection.

Good Product - Handy Compact
Color was just a little too dark for my winter skin however I'm sure once summer comes along it will be perfect!

Handy!
I apply it midday as a second sunscreen application: love the texture & how the skin abdorbs it, & the tint is I chose perfect for my skin! Applying it in the morning after cleansing might require additional moisturizing as it’s a bit thick!

Love!
I’m only giving it four stars because I haven’t worn it all day I’m saving it for an upcoming trip! Its color, when I tested, it is spot on for my olive to light skin color and omg the coverage! I won’t even need concealer. This is so beautiful and silky not drying or chalky. I’m in love with the price for the quality. Since it’s just for touch up it will be perfect at the beach! So far I’m in love.

Not for oily skin
I like this product, but I can't use moisturizer with my serums when I use it. It has moderate coverage but I still need my regular makeup to cover flaws well.

Great idea
I really like the coverage and SPF in one step. The only thing is I cannot wear this in the winter as the shade will be too dark. Would like to see some lighter shades. Otherwise, great product.

Almost Perfect
Ok this product is amazing for many reasons! 1.) You can easy apply this throughout the day and take it with you as needed 2.) the finish is beautiful, I almost think it gives a more airbrushed look than some of my post expensive foundations 3.) It is great for dry skin because it is a cream it does not fall into fine lines like many powders do. My only issue with this product is the lightest shade it is available in is def too dark. It gets better after blending, but there is still too dark. For that reason I use this during the day while driving or being outside, but I would not use this when I want my makeup to be on point because it is just too dark. I am a #2 on the Fitzpatrick scale, their lightest shade is going to be great for anyone that is a 3 or darker, but that is it. I would love if they came out with one more shade for lighter complexions.

Nice Coverage
It's easy to apply, and the coverage is great. If you are looking for something that covers well, you will like this compact. it doesn't leave my skin oily or dry. It does stay on pretty well throughout the day without too much touch up. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the color selection, which is only 2. I wish there was a better selection to match my skin.

Dermatologist recommended for melasma
I have some melasma that is getting worse since I moved to the beach. My dermatologist recommended the Avene tinted sunscreens because in addition to broad spectrum SPF, they have iron oxide, which prevents visible light rays from darkening melasma. I bought this compact in beige and the tube in medium. I put one on one side of my face and the other on the other. At first, the beige color looked alarmingly grey on me, but the color adjusted after a minute and looked just fine. In fact, both Avene products ended up looking pretty much the same on me, even though they look and feel different right out of the package. This compact is creamy and good for dry skin, but I still need a moisturizer under it. The finish is not as perfect as my regular foundation, but it’s pretty good and very convenient to use for daytime when I’m out in the sun.

Smooth and has spf 50
I recently purchased this for the spf 50 & compact. I had skin cancer surgery & needed a high spf & makeup that can travel. I've only used a few times since I recently ordered it but I do like it. It is smooth and not too drying. I still put a mineral sunscreen on first then the foundation. So far, I do like it, I don't like to use a lot of makeup (but need to try & cover the scar) and trying to find a product that is relatively easy to apply, can travel and good for your skin with spf 50 is not easy - this fits the bill! I gave it 4 because I wish there were a few more shades with pink undertones & light to med but the beige works. I am happy with the product. Thank you.

Recommended by My Dermatologist
My skin is fair, and after having my twins, I have quite a bit of melasma. If I even think of going out into the sun, it shows even more. My dermatologist recommended this sunscreen to help. This product not only helps protect my face from the sun but also covers up the melasma and improves my skin tone. I wear it on top of another sunscreen/moisturizer and under makeup. I gave it 4 stars rather than 5 because it's a bit too thick and clumpy when i use the sponge to apply it. I now use my fingers and apply it immediately after my other moisturizer/sunscreen to help blend it.

Will be a regular purchase
Really like this product for reapplying sunscreen on the go. Also like that it has good health ratings through GoodGuide.com.

A Great Product if You Like Creme Compact Makeup.
I use SPF makeup for a medical condition as I am very UV light sensitive, so my main objective is to find something great for my skin that has the protective ingredients I need and can be reapplied throughtout the day with minimal long term consequences on my face. While this is a great product and fits that bill, I find it more economical to use the tubed lotion/creme form of this product. That said, its great to use on evenings out or shorter periods of exposure and is a convenient and effective way of being prepared all the time or in an emergency.
