I wish the instructions for reapplication and water resistance were more specific. The packaging can dispense too much product and is not really recyclable. I have not used it while swimming.
I bought this sunscreen for the first time in 2021. Until then I was finding it hard to find sunscreen for my pale, sensitive/combination prone to eczema skin(not severe), which also works well with my skincare routine and makeup ( I do not wear heavy makeup though, mainly BB cream, highlighter etc).
Since I tried Altruist SPF, I never looked back. I do not have any reactions, it adds a healthy glow to my skin, and it works beautifully with my skincare and my makeup. This sunscreen is the reason WHY I started using sunscreen every day.
This sunscreen ticks all the boxes for me: 1) works well with my sensitive skin; 2) Works well with my skincare; 3) works well with my makeup; 4) is Affordable; 5) Contributes to a good cause.
I read an article in the magazine my plastic surgeon issues each month about sunscreens in the US vs. Europe. The US is about 20 years behind in sunscreen protection ingredients. I purchased a tube of this sunscreen and love it so much that I bought 3 more tubes! I will never stop using this sunscreen. The price is great too!
Altruist sunscreen was a fantastic find. It is a lovely soft cream and a treat to apply. I use it on my face and never worry about sunburn or damage. It’s just like wearing another moisturiser. And it’s one product I really wouldn’t be without, as I have a rather visceral dislike for sunscreens that are unnaturally smelly, sticky and stingy.
I have to use factor 50 everyday due to medication. I have sensitive skin but this cream is wonderful, I use it under my makeup and the rest of my exposed areas, it is as good as a moisturiser. I have been using it every day since April and really pleased with the product and would highly recommend it. I love the fact that when I buy it I’m helping a children’s charity too.
Purchased this for my son who usually suffers with prickly heat and he got through the whole 2 weeks without an episode (and washing with plain soap in the evenings rather than fragranced shower gel!) winner!
Why use anything else. Developed specifically to provide affordable access to sun screen, what more reason do you need to buy it. Have used for a number of years and never burn. Thank you Dr Birnie.
Don’t usually write reviews, but this day cream is amazing. Bf even saw a difference in my skin. Didn’t need to put foundation on. Pretty impressive on 44 yr old skin. It’s a must have ladies
Great for covering and calming rosacea prone skin. I use it as foundation for non make-up days and it gives great coverage. Does need to be re-applied often in hot weather though, to maintain coverage and protection. Also not water resistant so I apply Altruist factor 30 before exercising.
Have worn this skiing, in central Africa, and now Southeast Asia. Never lets me down. Only downside is it turns any white clothing yellow.and I’m not sure if it’s reef safe.
This is an amazing product as it gives full protection but is not sticky or tacky and your hair doesn’t stick to your face unlike with other high factor sunscreens! You can put make up over it easily. It doesn’t leave a white mask effect either. Highly recommend.
This cream is truly amazing, I have red patches under my eyes , after applying for first time, the red patches are barely visible, I would totally recommend this cream it does exactly what it says, you can wear on its own or as a base for ur foundation, the cover is phenomenal, I luv i
Much lighter than other SPFs, goes on easily and great for the kids who generally hate sun cream as it’s less sticky. I like the lack of scent as am sick of that commercial sun cream smell.
Highly recommended.
This product is exactly what I was looking for. First photo without makeup second using this product as a primer and then applying foundation-what a difference! My only slight gripe is that it only comes in one shade and I’ll have to mix it with a lighter bb cream in the winter months as it’ll be a bit dark.
Consultant Dermatologist at the hospital told me about Altruist. So light, you can wear it under make up. Absorbs brilliantly, not sticky or greasy. I buy this again and again. Don’t buy any other type of sun scream now. Love the charitable aspect to this bust also. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
This is great stuff. The only facial sunscreen I’ve found that works both as sunscreen and a decent moisturiser. I am prone to very sensitive skin that over reacts to a lot of things, almost like rosacea, this is only sunscreen that doesn’t make it worse and actually helps soothe during a flare up. I bought the moisturiser as well and it’s also fantastic.
We knew Dr Andy Birnie at university and are delighted to discover he has made this brilliant suncream. We would definitely recommend it as a family. We would like to suggest a name change though to Anti-burny by Andy Birnie which we like to call it in out house.
Firstly my son has multiple allergies and eczema so has very sensitive skin. Then there’s the fact most sun creams leave horrible yellow stains over clothes when creams come into contact with clothing. Then and the worst for me is the sticky texture of sun cream. I have some sensory issues myself and applying a cream that leaves my hands super sticky, or if I then touch my son and feeling his sticky skin was just really unnerving for me.
This sun cream was recommended by someone on a Facebook group I’m on for my sons allergies and I honestly cannot rate it enough!! Developed by a dermatologist so you know it’s made of the good stuff, rubs in until you cannot feel it at ALL, causes no irritation of his skin and doesn’t stain my little ones clothes?! Absolute game changer.
Also doesn’t not contain any type of nut oil which some do.
Not to mention you get two bottles and they are nicely sized to fit in the side of my toddlers back pack rather than a big bulky bottle.
Fab item, recommend to everyone I know.
I’ve even started using their face wash and other products as I’ve been so impressed with the SPF and would recommend those too.
Formulated by dermatologists and at such a great price point it really is a no brainer. It’s not at all sticky, it’s just like a body lotion.
My dad has just been given the all clear after being diagnosed with a very rare and aggressive form of skin cancer. He now uses Altruist every day without fail.
Don’t hesitate to buy this, you really have nothing to lose, it’s a fantastic product.
This is really good and definitely good value. I have had no bad reactions to it and would buy it again and recommend it to every one.
Great value product, not a sticky feeling on skin,use it on other parts of my body too,created by Dr Andrew birdie a dermatologist and skin cancer surgeon in the UK,also helps children’s charities with albinism across the world .
great protection, cheap.
stings the eyes and is not for oily skin – too moisturising
I found this sun cream very good for soothing sensitive skin that had already been exposed to too much sun.
The factor 50 also seems to be working very well. A thickish cream that still soaks in quite quickly.
A friend recommended Altruist a couple of years ago as my daughter’s reacted to most suncreams that we’ve tried in the past. We tried both the 30 & 50 & I can’t fault either. They both apply well, offer great protection, they’re a good price & my daughter hasn’t reacted to them. I’ve recommended Altruist to family & friends & they’ve been happy too. It’s taken a long time to find a suncream like Altruist that works for the whole family & we’ll be sticking with it. I’d highly recommend giving it a try!
I love this sunscreen. Goes on easily and no problems with irritation. The price is so good and every sale donates to support children with Albinism in Africa. It’s really a no-brainier!
I am very happy with this dermatology tested suncream factor 50 . I bought this last year for the first time and again for this summer . It suits my sensitive skin ,paying special attention to my neck and chest skin . I like also that this company supports a charity and gives a little back .
I’m going to set it up as a subscribe during the summer months.
I have reordered more, have given tubes to my extended family and showed it to my work colleagues.
It’s also amazing value for money!
Get yourself some!
I like the easy application and the way it tints my skin so that I don’t have to use make-up. It doesn’t seem to block my pores as other high factor sun screens do and therefore my skin is more comfortable.
I first purchased this product around 5 yrs ago, honestly my lotion of choice, don’t burn, feel protected, well priced. Whilst it is fragrance free, it does not deter, it’s not about the frills, the branding, the aroma – it’s about does it do what it says? Yes it does!
I thought I had been sent the wrong size tubes but on checking they were correct. Two lovely big 200ml tubes for 10.55. Goes on very easily, non sticky, no fragrance. Reasurring write up on the ingredients and what the product does. Really great value for money. I will use this sunscreen from now on.
that I’ve tried, no matter how many times I reapply. I’m so happy I found this product, great price and great skin protection.
I first tried this on top of my usual skin care and it’s bobbled up and rolled around my face, I mentioned this to a friend and she asked if i had used skin food underneath which i had! Used again the next day with a different moisturiser and it worked beautifully
I have acne rosacea, family members use this and recommended it, it is very good but just wasn’t enough for my problem which i am now on antibiotics for, saying that, I would buy it again.
It also absorbs beautifully, leaving the skin hydrated (but not greasy – making it one of the more cosmetically elegant sunscreens I’ve used), is fragrance free and doesn’t irritate the skin. All in all, a very well formulated sunscreen at very reasonable price, which has become a staple in my skincare regimen.
I like this cream as it is moisturising and easy to apply. I feel that it is smooth and I apply it after using CeraVe moisturising cleanser in the morning. I’d recommend a top up if you’re out and about in the sun but for daily use once in the morning and once more in the afternoon seems great.
Before you go to bed use a cleanser again to get rid of this and maybe apply a light PM moisturiser before bed. You don’t want this on your face as you sleep.
Also, don’t touch your face and then rub your eyes – end up crying for a good 15mins lol
