Institut Esthederm Sun Intolerance Repair Face Cream 50ml is a high-protection French daily sun cream developed specifically for sun-sensitive, sun-allergic and hyper-reactive skin. Built around the brand's broad-spectrum SPF50+ filter system, the cream protects against UVA, UVB, blue light, visible light and infrared — and is paired with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant actives to soothe reactive skin and help it gradually adapt to sun exposure.
About Institut Esthederm
Institut Esthederm is a French dermo-cosmetic skincare brand founded in 1978 in Paris, known internationally for its expertise in sun-care science and its proprietary approach to "Adaptasun" — the idea that the skin can be supported in gradually adapting to sun exposure rather than simply blocked from it. The Sun Intolerance line is the brand's most protective sun routine, formulated for skin that reacts visibly to UV exposure.
Key ingredients
- Broad-spectrum UV Filter Blend — combining chemical filters (octyl methoxycinnamate, octocrylene, benzophenone-3) with titanium dioxide for full SPF50+ protection across UVA, UVB, blue light, visible light and infrared.
- Glycyrrhetinic Acid — liquorice-derived active with anti-inflammatory and soothing properties.
- Carnosine — antioxidant amino acid that helps neutralise free radicals.
- Creatine — supports cellular energy and recovery.
- Hydrolysed Soy Protein and Peptides — help support the skin's protective barrier.
- Glycerin and Butylene Glycol — humectants for hydration support.
