Glad I gave this a second chance
I tried this sunscreen in the distant past, but for some reason, I thought it was too heavy/dark for me (or I chose the wrong shade). Or maybe they have changed the product since then. I'm older now, too, and I think this sunscreen is a good match for me now. I recently purchased it in the "Beige" shade, and while it looks a bit dark initially, it lightens up as I spread it carefully. I'm very fair-skinned, so this actually gave me a boost of lovely color and a nice finish. It looks like a sheer foundation when applied correctly -- evens out my flaws -- and I'm pleased with it now. My skin looks better with it than without out -- and that's the true test. The SPF 50 is the best for me too.

Fantastic Protection
I recently used the Avene High Protection Tinted Sunblock Compact SPF50 for two consecutive days when I was out in the sun for well over six hours each day - no sunburn! The compact is very easy to pack and use. This creamy sunblock also doubles as a concealer. Also, the texture is perfect so your skin doesn't look too shiny or too dry. Use the puff with a light hand because a little goes a long way.

Avene tinted compact
I love Avene products but this wasn’t for me. It was to thick and heavy. I’ll just stick with my sunscreen and translucent powder for the now until i find something more suitable for my skin. I’m sure lovely skin has something .

All time favorite
This product is a great addition to anyone looking to reapply sunscreen. This looks like a medium to full coverage foundation, looks very polished on skin. This does not have an orange tone at all. Feels so light on skin

Sunscreen
I bought it to use as sunscreen on my hands. I wish it was a lighter color. I also wish it would last longer.

Very good for what it is
This product has a nice smooth (dry-ish as expected) feel to it. I am hyper-sensitive to products matching my skin tone perfectly so I never really felt like it blended in just right. However, I always say that and this is the best I have tried. So, decide for yourself ? ;)

Great Coverage!
This is a great foundation, especially when traveling and you need a good SPF. Even though I always wear a 50 SPF, this is great to have for reapplying throughout the day and it doesn't get cakey.

High Protection Tinted Compact SPF 50
I can have extreme bruising due to medical complications. I use this product to cover these bruises and protect them from the sun. Very easy to apply and covers fairly well. My bruises are a very deep purple. This Avene product is by far the best on the market. I also just use it as a concealer. Great product!

So Handy for Touch-Ups
I am loving the Avene Compact. The color is nice and blends well, and you can't beat the convenience for easy touch-ups on the go. Very impressed and will keep this in my sunscreen arsenal. Highly recommend.

Everyday staple
I have used this compact mineral sunblock for years. It provides excellent sun protection but it is also my daily makeup, rain or shine. It is particularly good at covering dark circles under my eyes, better than most concealers

Very thick and creamy
The lightest tint was way to dark for my freckled medium/light skin tone but it seems like it would offer great protection from the sun. Better than a white nose of zinc oxide but looks just as silly on me.

Application tips
I love this as one of my sunscreen/makeup options that gives a bit more coverage of redness and blemishes and is safe for my sensitive skin and allergies. A note on application- when I used the sponge that comes included it seemed like all the product was just going to the sponge. It looked way darker than I expected too. Also was difficult to clean the sponge. I prefer using a foundation brush or my finger. I like to use a small disc that came with a different primer product to scrape the desired amount and then apply it from there. That keeps it more hygienic and also helps control the amount applied for adequate SPF with minimal waste.

Good coverage, smooth application, too light color
I liked the weightless, almost mousse like texture, the creamy spreadability, opaque coverage, high SPF, and portability of this foundation sunscreen. I ordered it in beige after reading some reviews but it turned out to be too light, imparting an ashy white cast. After beginning the return process, I decided it was too much trouble, and given the lack of color guidance from Avene, I could not be sure that the only other color offered would be suitable. I will blend it with a sunscreen compact from another brand that I subsequently bought that offers a more diverse range of colors and color guidance.

Holy Grail
I use this compact every day. It provides excellent coverage and has the built in SPF. I have melasma and it does an excellent job covering. It dries down to a natural finish.

Surprisingly, very impressed
I battle melasma in the summer no matter how much sunscreen I slather on. Just being in the Texas heat gives me brown patches on my cheeks and jawline. I use regular SPF 46 facial sunscreen and makeup with SPF in it. I saw this on sale and thought I'd try it but I honestly didn't have high hopes. Turns out, I love it! I have noticed less dark spots when I use this. Unfortunately, this product appears to only be available in 2 colors. However, while this color looked a bit dark in the compact, it blended into my skin very well. I am light-skinned (not fair, just light). I do tan easily. I don't know how to explain this product other than it feels like a sunscreen-makeup hybrid. I do not wear face makeup when I use this. This product is non-irritating to my sensitive skin and does not clog my pores. I highly recommend it.
