Sunscreen is something that we need in all seasons and at all time, whether going out or staying at home.
Today I am going to review, Bioderma Photoderm Max SPF 50+ Creme very high protection sunscreen.

Shelf life:

Packaging:
Bioderma Photoderm Max SPF 50+ comes in a cute little tube which makes it very convenient to use. It is also spill proof and travel friendly.
Texture:
Bioderma Photoderm Max SPF 50+ has runny creamy texture that glides really well on the skin. I have fair skin so for me it just makes my skin look a bit more even toned and brighter but not in a weird way.
Fragrance:
It does not contain any perfume so it just smells like usual sunscreen.
Suitable:
It is curated especially for sensitive dry skin to normal skin type. I have dry skin and it works well for me.
Application:
Several times a day when exposed to the sun
- STEP 1- Apply evenly and liberally before exposure (a smaller amount of product reduces the level of photoprotection).
- STEP 2- Re-apply frequently, before and after swimming, rubbing and playing sports
My Experience:
Bioderma Photoderm Max SPF 50+ sunscreen is made for normal and dry skin types. Whether the sunscreen will look very greasy or slightly shiny or creamy, it totally depends on what skincare products you’re using under the sunscreen.
After application it doesn’t leave a white cast but looks shiny and also feels a bit sticky for some time, it easily goes away after 20-30 minutes. It sinks so well into the skin without extra efforts.
It is hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic sunscreen. It did not break me out or irritate my skin in any way.
Pros:
- Offers a very high UVA/UVB protection
- Activates the skin’s natural defences
- It didn’t break me out
- Soft finish
- Melting invisible texture
- Non-greasy finish
- No white traces
Cons:
- Oily skin people me feel little greasiness after use.
Rating: 4.5/5
Availability:
You can by this directly from Bioderma website, Nykka and Amazon.
Conclusion (Would I recommend this?):
Definitely yes, if you have normal to dry skin type then you will gonna love this. That UVA protection level is awesome! I like the shinny finish of this sunscreen a lot.
