Anti-drying, fast absorption, helps respect the environment.
Protects - Hydrates
The ultra-broad-spectrum suncare product meets the highest requirements for the skin while minimising our impact on the environment.
Intense Protect 50+ is a very broad-spectrum suncare product. For the first time in Pierre Fabre's history, photo-protection is extended beyond UVB-UVA to a dangerous part of solar radiation: visible, high-energy blue light.
A suncare product suitable for the most intense sunlight conditions, as well as the most vulnerable skin*. Its hybrid texture allows it to absorb into the skin in 3 seconds**, provides intense hydration for 8 hours*** and anti-drying action. Its nude shade offers a transparent, invisible finish with no white streaks, even on dark skin tones. It is extra water-resistant and sweat-resistant. Intense Protect 50+ is suitable for babies from six months old, children, pregnant women, people with tattoos and very fair skin. Its formula offers very high skin and eye tolerance. With only four sun filters**** and without silicone, its formula is more environmentally friendly. Its solar filters have been tested by an independent laboratory* which has demonstrated the absence of impact on a species of coral, a species of phytoplankton and a species of zooplankton, key organisms in the marine environment.
Suncare suitable for even the most vulnerable skin types and in the most intense sunlight conditions.
Intense Protect 50+ offers ultra-broad UVB UVA Blue Light HEV photoprotection.

3 months agoAvène Intense Protect SPF50+ Sun Cream has a very rich and soft texture which feels great on the skin. The cream is also very creamy and hence only a little is required which means it lasts for a long time. It's high factor guarantees great protection from the sun.

3 months agoI normally hate suncream as it is usually sticky and makes my skin feel uncomfortable and has a strong chemical or coconut smell. However, this product is different. It appears to be fragrance free so it doesn’t smell like suncream. The pale yellow, tinted cream blends well into my skin and leaves no residue. It feels more like a body cream than a sun protection product. I can’t comment on its sun protection ability yet as we need the weather to improve first.

3 months agoThis cream is fantastic and really lightweight unlike some other brands I have previously tried. The smell is all pleasant and it gives a great spf 50 protection. I would absolutely recommend this and will definitely be purchasing again.

11 months agoThis sun creme is great, it's very light and non greasy. I loved the texture and feel of it on my skin. It protected my skin and my childs, and it was easy to reapply. It also smells really nice. I'd definitely recommend this product!

We had a couple of hot days before the rain and snow came, so applied Avene intense protection on my 2 children and myself. Was easy to apply, wasn't too greasy and covered well. It has a beautiful scent to it! Only had to apply once due to not being out long however it did it's job and will be using this in the summer!
