![]() ![]() But perhaps, if you have dry skin, don’t lean on this during winter. I love that it has a bit of coverage even though the shade match isn’t perfect.įor whom? All skin types. The cream feels light on the skin and the finish is radiant without looking dewy. Besides the thermal water and vitamin E, there aren’t many additional skin-conditioning ingredients like in the Bioderma AR. I was expecting the B Protect to be hydrating but, at least during winter, I found it to be a bit lacking. ![]() Even the Kosas Tinted Face Oil (renowned for extreme pilling!) was applied on top without a fuss. I have not experienced any pilling with this. The upside is that makeup applies beautifully on top to reduce some of the paleness. I can get away with it if I’m wearing a turtle neck. The shade match is a bit lighter than my overall natural skin tone ( MAC NC30-ish) and does give me a slight ghost face. The coverage is light to medium and gives the skin a more perfected BB-cream/foundation look. The final result is a light neutral beige that leans more towards a red/cool tone. As you massage it in the pigment gets released. The Avéne B Protect comes out white but uses microencapsulated pigments that adjust to your skin tone upon application. Otherwise, I’ve personally been able to apply and spread both pretty close around the eye without tearing up. But only later during the day when I foolishly have been touching my face to then poke my eye. On another note, I found both to sting my eyes, Bioderma AR a little more so than Avéne B Protect. Some I absolutely hate, others I can live with. I personallly am sensitive, but it depends on the scent. But for anyone sensitive to fragrance or wants to avoid it, you might want skip this one. I assume the brain registers it as nonthreatening after a while, as I haven’t thought much of it later on. Said to be mildly fragrance, however, it comes off quite intense when you first start using it. AdditionalĪvéne B Protect is fragranced, while Bioderma AR is not. With that said, I find the AR sunscreen to be equally easy to wash off as the B Protect. So it has a slight advantage to Avéne B Protect that isn’t. The post mentions that the Bioderma isn’t water-resistant, however, on Bioderma’s website and packaging it says that it is. Protectionīoth use chemical filters and have a high SPF 50+ that protects against UVB and UVA ( see reddit post for a list of filters). Which is good enough protection for when spending less than 1 hour outdoors. They both have SPF 50 because that ensures that even if the consumer use a moderate amount, they’ll still get an SPF of around 20-25. Not for sports, the beach, or long hours under the sun. I’m guessing both were created for everyday use (like indoor/office/city hangout) and touch-up. I do have some theories on why the small amount. At least in Sweden, and unless you’re up in the mountains skiing, you really don’t need the full protection of SPF50 in wintertime. But as I was using both during wintertime I wasn’t too bothered by the small amount as I wasn’t slathering 1/4 tsp. By now, we all think sunscreens should have a standard of at least 50ml considering the amount you should use. Like the reddit post mentions, it’s a shame it’s only 30ml. I wanted to do a comparison and give you my thoughts as I could only find one post on reddit comparing these two that I don’t completely agree with. And the Bioderma Photoderm AR, that’s made specifically for reactive skin to reduce redness and inflammation. This winter I picked up the Avéne B Protect, a BB-ish sunscreen that protects against UV and pollution while evening out the skin with tint that adjusts to your skin tone. Here are two tinted sunscreens that don’t get the attention they deserve. ![]()
