Cumulative UV exposure increases your risk of skin cancer and skin ageing. Reduce your risk by covering up with clothes and a broad rimmed hat when outdoors. Apply sunscreen generously to exposed skin before going out. Reapply frequently (frequency will vary according to conditions, but every 2-3 hours is a good guide) and after swimming or towelling. For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Try to avoid the sun between 11am – 3 pm. Prolonged exposure to the sun may be harmful. Babies should not be exposed to the sun. Review: Undeniable Quality, always Affordable! - I have used Altruist for around 7 years now, since getting pretty bad acne in my late teens, and going on a big skincare journey from there. It has never aggravated my acne, or eczema, it sits well under makeup, it's not greasy, and it has a neutral smell. I appreciate that their products have remained affordable, and that they stay true to their cause - protecting skin! Their facial fluid formula had to change for a while a few years back (because of ingredient shortages, great customer service btw), and it kept pilling, so I opted for this particular spf 50 instead, and I have stuck to it since! So even their body sunscreens are great on your face, even if you're acne-prone! Thank you Altruist :) Review: No eye irritation!!! 😄😃😀 - Purchased after hearing an interview with a founder of Altruist. I’ve never found a suncream that is easy to rub in, doesn’t leave a white mess and isn’t sensitive around the eyes. Altruist claimed to be all of these things. I’m so pleased I found this suncream. You can put it on like a moisturiser all over your face including eyes and eye lids. Does not smell, does not irritate, and is easy to absorb. I can replace my moisturiser with this which means I’ll always be protected from the suns damage. My only negative comment is that it is a little sticky but this seems to lessen after about 30mins and is not certainly a reason not to purchase it. *Edit* After some use I can say it isn’t sticky or greasy! I can tell because my hair doesn’t stick to my face like it usually does when I have suncream on! Top marks from me. It’s a little expensive compared to say Aldi or Lidl’s own but I’m happy to pay the extra for face protection that is kind to the eyes. An all year round must. ## Features - High 5-star UVA PPD 39 and SPF 50 protection - Provides broad spectrum UVA and UVB defence using photostable filters for reliable daily sun protection. - Developed by dermatologist Dr Andrew Birnie - Created by a British dermatologist dedicated to promoting sun safety and supporting long-term skin health through effective daily protection. - Hypoallergenic, paraben free and non-comedogenic formula - Fragrance free and suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin.

I wish they could provide a proof that they are cruelty free, but somehow they fail to do so. I believe it is because the finish product is not tested on animals, yet the ingredients sure did. **Q: Safe to use on 2.5 year old? should i stick to spf50? child in advertising.** A: I use it on my 2 very sensitive children (3 & 1yr old). They react to every other brand I have tried so far - all the mainstream ones that claim to be great, yet this stuff has been no problem and is amazing. It is also the only one I have ever found that doesn’t turn our clothes cream/yellow (since it soaks into the skin). Wish I’d discovered it years ago! :) **Q: Does it work under makeup? I've had a lot of patchy experiences with sunscreens+makeup** A: Yes it’s very smooth. Actually makeup looks better. You might have to use powder if ur skin is oily **Q: Does this sunscreen prevent prickly heat?** A: I am currently trying this but the only one that I have found great for sun allergy is The Green People ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Undeniable Quality, always Affordable! *by C***S on 21 January 2026* I have used Altruist for around 7 years now, since getting pretty bad acne in my late teens, and going on a big skincare journey from there.

The sun cream works and I didn't burn so major plus. I did however stop using it as I didn't like the feel on my skin . This could have been over application as I normally go for a teaspoon blob for each leg and then same for left arm/chest and right arm / back as recommended but even after 30 mins it felt greasy and didn't seem to absorb. The face fluid caused me to break out in lots of white heads from day one. Bottom line on this if your not worried about a greasy feel and don't want to burn, then for the cost this is a good sun screen as it's also reef safe I also did like the tube as it didn't feel to bulky and I felt I could have got all the product out. ## Frequently Bought Together - ALTRUIST.
