Avène Cleanance SPF50+ 50ml

Avène Cleanance SPF50+ is a dermatologist-developed, very high protection sunscreen cream from Eau Thermale Avène — one of France’s most trusted dermo-cosmetic skincare brands, born from the Pierre Fabre Laboratories. Specially formulated for oily, blemish-prone, and sensitive skin, this lightweight fluid sunscreen does far more than protect against the sun. It actively addresses the specific needs of skin that breaks out easily, produces excess sebum, and is prone to post-inflammatory marks — making it one of the most comprehensive daily sun protection solutions available for acne-prone skin. Water-resistant, non-comedogenic, alcohol-free, and paraben-free, it leaves a smooth, invisible, non-greasy finish on the skin — perfect as a standalone moisturising sunscreen or as a makeup base. Made in France.

At the heart of Avène Cleanance SPF50+ is the exclusive Sunsitive® protection complex, developed by Pierre Fabre Research. This patented filter system uses just four carefully selected sun filters — Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate (DHHB/Uvinul A Plus), Ethylhexyl Triazone (Uvinul T 150), Phenylene Bis-Diphenyltriazine (TriAsorb™), and Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine (Tinosorb S) — together delivering very broad-spectrum UVB and UVA protection (including long-wave UVA and high-energy visible blue light up to 450nm) with exceptional photostability and optimal skin tolerance. Using the minimum number of filters necessary reduces the risk of skin sensitisation — a key priority for reactive, blemish-prone skin types. Avène Thermal Spring Water — the brand’s founding and signature active — forms the aqueous base of the formula. Unique in its mineral composition, this naturally sourced thermal water is clinically proven to soothe, soften, and calm irritated skin, reduce reactivity, and strengthen the skin’s natural tolerance; it is the cornerstone of Avène’s entire dermo-cosmetic philosophy. Monolaurin is the sebum-regulating star active of the Cleanance range: a naturally derived fatty acid ester (the glycerol monoester of lauric acid) that directly reduces sebum production at the skin surface, visibly mattifying the complexion, helping to prevent pore congestion, and creating an environment that is inhospitable to acne-causing bacteria. Rice Starch and Tapioca Starch work in tandem as natural absorbent powders, immediately soaking up surface oil and perspiration for an instant matte, silky, skin-like finish throughout the day. Tocopheryl Glucoside (a stabilised form of Vitamin E) delivers antioxidant protection, neutralising free radicals generated by UV exposure and environmental pollution that would otherwise cause oxidative stress, accelerate skin ageing, and worsen post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Zinc Gluconate is a well-established dermatological active with both sebum-regulating and anti-inflammatory properties, directly supporting the management of blemishes and redness. The emollient base — C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Glyceryl Stearate, Stearyl Alcohol, and VP/Eicosene Copolymer — provides the formula’s lightweight, fluid texture that spreads smoothly and leaves no white cast, greasiness, or residue.

How To Use: Apply generously and evenly to the face and neck 30 minutes before sun exposure. Reducing the amount applied decreases the level of protection. Reapply frequently throughout the day — especially after perspiring, swimming, or towelling off — to maintain high protection levels. Avoid prolonged sun exposure between 11am and 4pm. Do not expose babies or young children directly to the sun. For external use only.
