The signature Avène scent is lovely..? While some might not be fans, I personally enjoy the fragrance of most Avène products. It has that dermatological feel! 2. Matte texture I'm prone to blemishes, so I'm not a fan of oily cosmetics. I tested this at Olive Young and loved its matte feel, which led me to purchase it. Despite having a moisturizing, fluid texture that slightly evens skin tone, it adheres to the skin with a pleasantly powdery finish. 3. Pore-minimizing primer My pores aren't extremely large, just slightly noticeable on my nose and cheeks. This sunscreen covers small pores well even without a primer. It's perfect for those days when I want light makeup and can skip the primer!
Cons1. Dryness While I love the Avène brand, this product is a no-go.. At first, the matte finish is nice, but then it feels like it's sucking all the moisture from my skin. This might be due to my combination skin - my cheeks don't produce much oil. After a while, it feels like a thin film forms on the skin, which then tightens and pulls on the skin beneath. 2. Blemishes Perhaps due to the intense dryness, it causes itchy blemishes! These are raised, bumpy, and irritatingly itchy - the type of blemishes I hate the most! 3. Burning sensation If you don't apply enough hydrating skincare beforehand, it stings when you first apply it. I suspect it's because it's an acne-specific product designed to mattify the skin, so it might be drawing out moisture too. The stinging subsides after a few seconds, but it's particularly noticeable when I've skimped on my skincare routine! I wonder if it stings because there isn't enough of a protective oil barrier when the skincare is insufficient.. Looking back, it seems like the worst sunscreen ever! It really didn't work for me. The Cleanance line is known for acne-prone skin, but I think it could be irritating even for those with blemish-prone skin..

I called to inquire about the pH, and they said it's between 4.8-5.8. I've been looking for slightly acidic products lately, and I think that's really important. It's quite matte, so I'm using it sparingly, applying a little at a time on the back of my hand. Since I often work night shifts, it keeps my skin feeling fresh until the next morning. I used to avoid sunscreen altogether because other products always caused breakouts, but now I apply sunscreen every day with this product. I think it's beneficial for acne-prone skin to switch to mildly acidic products entirely. As a guy, I don't usually write reviews like this, but I hope this product becomes a hit!
ConsThere are some concerning ingredients listed, but all the other positive aspects make up for it. I mean, cigarettes have thousands of cancer-causing elements, but people still smoke them, right?
