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

Avene tinted compact
I love this product. It provides good coverage and sun protection in one.

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.

Keep this in your handbag
This is the perfect to go sunscreen. No mess when applying it at the recommended two hour intervals. A mirror is included to insure visualization for even application. A must for the golf course or anywhere you have continuous sun exposure.

Great sunscreen
Provides lasting sunscreen. Looks a little bit heavy but covers pores. I keep it in my purse to use throughout the day.

Too Dark
I also wanted to love the Avene High Protection tinted compact but find the color way too dark. As an older woman I definitely don't want to wear a "tan" color on my face. The product itself was fine and I liked the high SPF as I suffer from melasma. I was hoping to apply this throughout the day for additional SPF coverage as needed. Until Avene makes this product in more than two colors, I don't recommend it very highly.

SPF 50 and with color = wow!!!! It covers a lot, leaves the face matte. The best I've ever had.

Superb sunblock for the face
Goes on easily and provides great coverage even while sweating. Love the compact size and mirror. It makes it easy to apply. I would definitely recommend.

Great for hot Texas summer
This compact sunblock is easy to apply, thick enough to feel like a foundation and stays on forever. I use this daily in the south Texas summer. Wish it came in more colors.

Great for water activities
I really like this for summer pool time, beach time and vacations where there might be swimming, water sports, spa time, hiking near waterfalls etc. To me it has pretty full coverage … I have melasma and it gives excellent coverage - don’t need to wear concealer or foundation. This goes on kind of thick texture but is resistant to water when I’m in the pool. Haven’t tried it with any serious swimming like laps or scuba so can’t comment on how well it will stay but hanging out with friends in the pool it’s great.

Love this product
I am out doors a lot and this foundation provides total coverage. I live in Texas and this summer was a hot one. When I used this product it did not melt and it did not run into my eyes and I felt my skin was protected. It is easy to apply .I play a lot of golf, and before I leave the house I use a lot of layers of sunscreen and I apply this product for the final layer with a brush instead of the pad. I think this is a winner and I bring it with me all the tine...just in case. it's easy to pat some on your nose or cheeks and you're all done and your face is protected. Great product.

Not impressed as makeup
It is nice to have sunscreen in this compact. However, as a makeup product, I am not impressed. It shows dry patches easily, thick with ok coverage, OK staining powder, very limited shade choices. In comparison, there are way better options from Asian companies, like those from Japan, South Korea, China, or even Thailand that you can find online.

Thick and heavy coverage. Not for someone looking for lighter coverage and evening of tone.
