Avène Eau Thermale Sun Lotion SPF 50+ 100ml is a very high sun protection lotion from the French dermatological skincare brand Avène. The water-resistant, photostable formula delivers broad-spectrum SPF 50+ UVA and UVB protection, while Avène's signature Thermal Spring Water soothes and softens the skin — a sensible everyday sun protection choice for sensitive face and body skin.
About Avène
Avène (Eau Thermale Avène) is a French dermatological skincare brand owned by the Pierre Fabre Laboratories. The brand is centred around Avène Thermal Spring Water — a uniquely soft, mineral-rich water from the Cévennes region of southern France, recognised for its soothing and anti-irritation properties. Avène's sun-protection range is a long-standing favourite of dermatologists for those with sensitive and reactive skin.

Who it's for
Avène Sun Lotion SPF 50+ is for the whole family — and is particularly well-suited to those with sensitive, reactive or skin-condition-prone skin (rosacea, eczema-prone, post-laser/IPL skin). Equally a sensible daily sunscreen for holiday-makers, beach-goers, runners and outdoor enthusiasts. A natural choice for those already using Avène's wider skincare ranges.
How to use
- Apply generously to clean, dry skin around 15–20 minutes before sun exposure.
- Apply enough lotion to fully coat the skin — most adults need around two shot-glass volumes for full body coverage.
- Don't forget often-missed areas — ears, neck, the tops of the feet, scalp parting and the backs of the hands.
- Reapply every 2 hours and immediately after swimming, towelling or excessive sweating.
- Avoid direct sun exposure during the strongest hours of the day (typically 11am–3pm in summer).
- Even with sun protection, wear a hat and protective clothing for prolonged sun exposure.
