Avene Very High Protection SPF 50+ Emulsion & Cream Review

Avene Very High Protection SPF 50+ Emulsion & Cream Review, Price & Buy Online India

Hi Girls,

We all know no matter what the season, we must never leave the home without applying sunscreen. This summers I have been following that rule religiously thanks to Avene. They sent me across their full Very High protection Range and to test out the products I tend to go out with a sunscreen more often than not. I have almost finished the Avene Spray Sunscreen( God! I love that one) and recently started using the VHP Emulsion & Cream which I am going to review today.

Avene Very High Protection SPF50+ Emulsion Review & Price India

The Avene VHP Emlusion SPF50+ comes in a peppy orange squeezy tube with a pump dispenser. The packaging will easily fit in your handbag and the pump dispenser makesthe application a breeze! The cap shuts tightly and will not come off in your bag. For ample protection I usually use 2 pumps for my face and neck as I tend to slather on my sunscreens otherwise 1 pump is adequate for the same.

Avene Very High Protection SPF50+ Sunscreen is white in color and is of a runny consistency. It does not spread that easily onto the skin and requires a bit of effort. Once blended it does not leave any white cast and instead adds a glow to my face. Though dusky beauties might notice an initial white cast which later settles down.

I have a combination skin type (T Zone oily) and this most definitely keeps my face matte.It does not exactly feel lightweight ie I get that feeling of having something on my face but it certainly keeps the oil at bay. However, those with oily skin might need to use a compact/loose powder to keep their face shine free and dry skinned beauties might need a moisturizer underneath. For dry skinned beauties I feel the Avene VHP Cream is best suited to your needs!

Avene Very High Protection SPF 50+ Cream Review & Price India

Like the emulsion, the Avene VHP Cream SPF 50+ too comes in an orange squeezy tube with a pump dispenser. They both look exactly the same and at times it gets a bit tough for me to tell them apart especially when I am in a hurry 😀 I have been using this alot this week as the weather is much cooler and my skin is starting to get a bit dry and not so oily!

It is white in color and has a medium consistency. The texture is not exactly of a cream but much thicker than the emulsion. It has a light powder-y scent which all the products in the Avene Very High Protection Range contain. The scent dissipates after application hence it will not bother you.

I felt that the Avene Very High Protection Cream is more moisturizing compared to the emulsion and spreads much more easily onto the skin. Its a bit heavy for my combination skin and I usually apply it when my skin needs an extra bit of moisture. It does leave a slight white cast which a little dab of compact takes care of but definitely a con for deeper complexions!

I haven’t noticed any tanning when I’ve used Avene VHP Sunsreens though I do not stay outdoors longer than 4-5 hours. I never re-touch my sunscreen because I find it a bit inconvenient but for complete protection I strongly recommend applying it every 2-3 hours even if you’re using a broad spectrum sunscreen. The price is high especially for the quantity provided but I’m sure for those with acne prone and sensitive skin would find the investment well worth it!
