Dermatologist Sunscreen Fluid SPF30 – Superior 5star UVA protection by Dr Andrew Birnie premium antioxidant face protection, White, Unscented, 50 millilitre

I have used Altruist for around 7 years now, since getting pretty bad acne in my late teens, and going on a big skincare journey from there. It has never aggravated my acne, or eczema, it sits well under makeup, it's not greasy, and it has a neutral smell. I appreciate that their products have remained affordable, and that they stay true to their cause - protecting skin! Their facial fluid formula had to change for a while a few years back (because of ingredient shortages, great customer service btw), and it kept pilling, so I opted for this particular spf 50 instead, and I have stuck to it since! So even their body sunscreens are great on your face, even if you're acne-prone! Thank you Altruist :)

I don’t usually write reviews but this product has left me so happy I feel obligated to share! I use a retinol, so SPF during the day is very important to protect my skin (and I would argue, is important for everyone to use) but they problem I kept having was I could not find a brand that didn’t break me out. I’ve been using this a couple of weeks now and it is AMAZING. A little goes a long way, it’s light, leaves a nice dewy finish on the skin and above all PROTECTS YOUR FACE AGAINST UV. It hasn’t caused any irritation on me, or broke me out so I am super pleased. I will continue to repurchase!

I bought this sunscreen cause it was cheap and recommended by Dr Dray (whomst I stan). However, I have been thinking about people's reviews of this sunscreen saying that it can ball up, pill. And yes, I can confirm it can pill. However, I figured out that the best ways to prevent this is to rub the sunscreen as fast and aggressively as possible. Not like super aggressively to rub your skin off, but pretty decisively so to speak. Normally when I apply some kind of product I put blobs on different parts of my face and once I'm done, I'm rubbing the product to my skin. But with this sunscreen, I found out you should not do that. As soon as it is on your skin, it works fast, so it's best to put a blob of it on one part of the skin, then rub it in, then once you are done, move to another part of the skin. It's also important to wait for a while and not touch your face (which you should not be doing that much anyway) to let it dry out, and if there's any excess product, you just tap on it until it's gone. I also recommend not to apply any oil-based products like serums before applying this sunscreen cause oil and water do not mix (and this sunscreen is water-based). As you can see, this sunscreen is pretty fussy, but I think if you want to save your money, it's worth the struggle. After all, the trend is that most people buy expensive Asian 50ml sunscreens that take a month to ship and in the end, people don't apply enough sunscreen to reach its SPF on the bottle. But you need to re-apply sunscreen every 2 hours and you need to apply it liberally, not skimp on it. Except for these application problems, there's nothing wrong I can say about this sunscreen. Doesn't leave a white cast, it's moisturising and it's fragrance and alcohol-free. I recommend trying it out!

Best sunscreen I have ever had. I have sun sensitive skin and always get a rash. This sunscreen stops the rash and enables me to get a nice tan without burning. Rubs in without leaving white marks.

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.

My post-menopausal skin went ultra-sensitive and I’ve had to stop using a lot of products I previously used for years. This sunscreen is brilliant - it does not irritate my skin at all, keeps my skin supple and sits nicely under my make-up. I use this as a daily moisturiser over a serum every morning. Can’t recommend highly enough.

I want to give this 3.5 stars. Let me start off by saying I think this seems like a brilliant product but unfortunately it didn't work for me and my skin. I suffer with rosacea and eczema and have been looking for something to treat the redness or at the very least conceal it without having to wear makeup. I had my fingers crossed that this would be it. The cream has a green tint to it but when you rub it in your skin it turns to a light brown. It goes on very smoothly and dries lovely, soaking in well so that it doesn't leave any sticky residue. It smells nice and makes skin feel soft and smooth. However, I have very pale skin (around the redness) and the colour does not suit my skin tone at all, it is way too dark to match the rest of my skin. Even with a thin layer my face looked so much more tanned than my neck, ears and shoulders and I just don't feel comfortable wearing it like that. I did need to put it on a bit thicker to cover my redness and that made the colour look worse. It had a sort of yellow tinge to it. I'm really disappointed this didn't work for me but I think this would be perfect for the right person and skin tone because all other aspects of it are great. The price was worth giving it a try. Cheaper than on the high street and arrived next day with Prime. I also bought the foaming face wash, used it a few times and really like it. That was a great price too.

Amazing product - please ignore any negative reviews and try it . I developed acne rosecea last year and first sign of the sun it’s back . Evident I need factor 50 and something to counteract the mess on my face . I was in two minds and so glad I ordered it . It’s a green fluid that once applied turns skin coloured . Now I’m pale - medium . It seems to match your skin tone . Not orange as others have said . Dries Matt . Gives you coverage like a tinted moisturiser but colour corrects the red for sure . Doesn’t cover huge spots but can add concealer there . Just makes your skin look like you can be seen in public and factor 50 protection ! No stinging , no itching and belive me as I can only use cerave I’m a good tester . The only thing I would add is it is a drying formula . Ideal for acne rosacea when your face becomes an oil slick but maybe a little drying formula dry skin type rosecea . Moisturiser first ? Anyway one to deffo try . Very happy customer . No burn from factor 50 and a definite concealing effect . I will update my review in a month with further thoughts .
