This is a quality product that is so good for your skin and saves you getting burnt by the sun.
I use it all year round and my skin is so soft and smooth.
Would highly recommended this product.
So smooth, easy to apply without leaving my sking tight or itchy.
Suffer from dermatitis all my life with a sensitive area around my lips and chin especially. This doesn’t irritate me one bit.
Love the fact it doesn’t have typical spf fragrance.
Will be ordering another one straight away to avoid running out

Great brand and absolutely ideal for those with sensitive skin. Light product that goes on easy without leaving a sticky residue and no scent either. This is a good size for travelling with or just for your handbag for topping over over the course of the day.
Needed a high protection sunscreen due to anti biotic making me highly sensitive to sun just before a California holiday, it worked well, easy to apply and not oily, no reactions formula
I bought this brand because it is sunscreen with skincare and so far it has been amazing, I love the fact there is no white cast and that it absorbs quite well into skin and does leave a greasy residue
Suncream works as expected. Still a bit greasy but less so than cheap ones, and still very good value itself. Would buy again.
Hopefully next summer I can use up the rest!
This is fabulous value for money. You receive 2X 100ml tubes which last for ages. I gave my spare to my son. Doesn’t leave a white cast or affect make up. Will buy again.
A friend let me try hers and I was very impressed hence this purchase. I was fed up with bright red nose like Rudolph . Blends in so well. Use by itself or under foundatio
I have been using this daily for over 3 years; this is the best sunscreen.
Each purchase has been consistent, nice(white) easy to apply cream that is not noticeable at all on my skin.
Zero fragrance, high SPF50, Non-sticky, helping a charity, 5stars of me
I will be buying this product again, that’s for sure.
🙂
I also like the tube size (100ml) as it is small enough to put in my hand bag to take with me on particularly sunny days for re-application, but large enough to last a while and to share with others on-the-go. The size is also ideal for travel through airports that still enforce rules on limitations on liquids in hand luggage.
I have trialled SEVERAL sun protection lotions, both pharmacy brand and high end. This Altruist protection is the first sun lotion in 15 years that has prevented a heat rash. I spent a week on the beach in Portugal in < 25 degree sun and nothing. No heat rash and no burn. I cannot recommend this enough. I bought a 30 factor cream and a 50 factor spray. I use them both. I prefer the spray just for ease of use. I wouldn't recommend either for your face if you are in any way sensitive. My eyes stream when I use it on my face. This is the first sun protection I have found that protects me from sunburn & from that awful rash. The synopsis on here tells us that the developers have created this with a view to prevent skin cancer and to benefit children with albinism, I thank them and wish them the very best in their future. If you are looking for a brilliant sun protection for you and your family, please buy this, it is unrivalled in my opinion. (And I've tried a lot).
One of the key strengths of this product is its ability to reduce redness. Upon application, I observed a visible reduction in redness, which significantly boosted my confidence. The formula feels lightweight and blends well into my skin, leaving a natural finish that doesn’t look heavy or cakey.
However, there is one aspect that needs attention—the longevity of the coverage. While the product initially covers redness remarkably well, I noticed that the effect tends to fade over time. It requires re-application after a few hours, especially if I’m looking for consistent coverage throughout the day. This can be a minor inconvenience, particularly when I’m on the go or have a busy schedule.
Despite this drawback, I would still recommend the Altruist Dermatologist Anti Redness and Pigmentation product to individuals who are seeking an effective solution for reducing redness and pigmentation. Its ability to provide visible results and minimize redness is commendable, making it a valuable addition to any skincare routine. With a little extra effort for re-application, this product can truly enhance your complexion and boost your confidence.
Overall, I rate the Altruist Dermatologist Anti Redness and Pigmentation product four out of five stars. It delivers on its promises and offers an impressive solution for covering and minimizing redness.
Love this product, it’s light, goes well under makeup as it soaks in and seems to protect me from the sun. But my latest bottle is a lot thicker and doesn’t feel as nice. Hoping it’s just a bad batch and they haven’t changed the product.
Thick, goes a long way, my older adult mum loves it, and her friends , I too think it’s good, haven’t tried it with makeup on top to comment on layering
I’m mixed race and was slightly horrified by how white it left the palms of my hands. However I applied to my face and was able to rub into my skin without leaving a white/blue cast. I would say my skin is about the same colour as Thandiwe Newton for reference for other black and brown people interested in this cream.
For everyone else, my skin is very oily and left my skin nice and matte throughout the day with a litttle powder. I don’t feel like it’s clogging my pores at all and my eyes aren’t irritated if it’s near to them which happens a lot for me.
Very happy I brought this, my last cream was twice the price and left me shiny!
For years I’ve been looking for a good sun cream. I have very fair skin that burns easily and in my youth I had a horrific sunburn (a waterpark at a high altitude!!!) that nearly hospitalised me. Since then, I’ve been incredibly careful about applying sun cream and wearing hats/protective clothing. I’ve tried just about every high-street brand of sun cream, and some fancy French imports with the hope that I can use it on my face and body at the same time. This is harder than you’d think because my skin is easily irritated in addition to being burnable. Most of the ones I’ve tried have stung on application, had a weird and unpleasant gritty texture, a rank smell — and worst of all, don’t work so well. They may keep me from being fried in the sun but they often make me freckly (which isn’t a slight against freckles – they are a further skin cancer risk for my complexion!). Thought I’d try this on a punt after reading other reviews. The fact that it was formulated by a dermatologist was a selling point, and other reviews seemed promising. THEY WERE RIGHT. This is wonderful sun cream. I put it on my face after serums and moisturisers but before minimal summer makeup, and just use it like I would a body lotion elsewhere. Its price point is great for two bottles – I keep one in my bag and one in the house, so there’s never a reason to be too far from it should a bit of sun appear. Even if you get a bit sweaty, your skin never feels as though it can’t breathe, and the longevity of the cream seems really robust. I would re-apply if out in the sun the entire day (I can’t manage that, I overheat too much), but no burn has yet occurred and I’m preaching its wonders to everyone who will listen (and people with kids – this would be great for children, too!). I’m so grateful for this cream, as I have historically spent less time in the sun because of my complexion and paranoia about skin cancer risks, and now I feel like I will be able to spend more time enjoying the sunny days on my own terms. Thank you so much for this wonderful product!
I’m very grateful that the product is not scented, the texture is good and won’t leave any sticky feeling.
Using this product for a year now to protect my skin and it works perfectly so far. Could only recommend it.
Excellent timing ordered late on arrived next morning ,fantastic timeing,basically 2 tubes for the price of one of I had home to boots so great savings,highly recommended by doctors mine including,Cream is fantastic soaks well into damaged skin leaving no greasy residue,pleasant smelling.Will definitely be buying a gain,and recommended for everyone to buy.If it’s recommended by doctors it’s definitely good enough for mr,Thank you for exceptional service.Regards J.Packham.
I was really impressed with this suncream. I don’t usually go off brand but having seen this product was developed by clinical/medical professional staff who are less likely want to make money and rather han make a product for people, I jumped the chance to purchase.
This is also created and makes a charitable donation I felt like it was decent and morally to purchase the cream. The cream as stated is a lovely consistency, don’t smell, thick and feels nice once applied. I drive a lot and feel protected in the sun once I apply the cream. The two 100ml bottles of great size and there they last a long time.
Will buy again when I run out.
I hate wearing suncream and have sensitive skin. This cream is light and soaks in well, and doesn’t feel heavy on the skin. No sunburn since using it.
The brand was recommended to me by a dermatologist and I’ve been very happy with it.
Great SPF for face. Works well under makeup. I will definitely buy again. This is now my go to brand for SPF. Have also bought the body cream now and it’s just as good. I am very fair with sensitive skin and haven’t burnt or really caught the sun at all since using this brand.
I was given this originally as my sister was too fair for the finished colour as it does come up quite light/medium tan. I was really surprised how much it reduced any redness and gave a nice overall coverage, it does have a slight dewy finish.
It doesn’t cause me to breakout like normal face SPF and I now use it everyday instead of foundation.
I prefer to put it on with a foundation brush and it covers nicely.
Onto my second bottle now really pleased with it.
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.
My son suffers badly with any products on his skin, Sun cream this year has been an absolute nightmare, with awful consequences for his delicate skin. I was recommended this product, after a patch test and no reaction we went for it, so happy we tried it, he has been able to safely enjoy the sun without awful skin breakouts. We just have to ensure he’s washing it off throughly everyday. Not sticky and doesn’t leave marks on his skin or clothes. A huge win for us.
great protection, cheap.
stings the eyes and is not for oily skin – too moisturising
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 have dropped it a star and I shall tell thee why firstly it has amazing reviews so my honest star drop isn’t going to affect business and I care about this business! I’ve been buying this for years. BUT this isn’t as waterproof as I’d like, and on my holiday I had to choose a different spf50 for the pool. Now I know spf isn’t that effective in the pool, but my problem comes when I get out and reapply – if my bikini isn’t 100% dry, it will rub this off at the seams and I’m super pale, and I burn in those places. I don’t sunbathe to tan at all, I love to relax, under a shade, but I still burn, and the only way I can stop it is by getting out of the water, removing my bikini to dry it/myself, and apply spf. Then dressing when the bikini is dry not ideal.
This is a common issue with many spf’s but I think I’d give my 5* to one that is waterproof enough to withstand a little dampness from my bikini edges. I don’t know if it exists.
The best way for me I guess is to stay out of the sun 100%, or lay in some sort of full body UV suit.
I cannot use this on my face, it makes my eyes water, many spfs do this so this isn’t unusual. I have a dedicated face spf50.
Onto the not moany bit at all other times this spf is perfect for my body – I love that it’s moisturising, affordable and it does keep my very white sensitive skin safe in the sun. I take Carbamazepine for migraines and it makes me extra sensitive, I’ve burnt in the uk cloud so holidays to hot climates can cause some anxiety. I just got back for Cape Verde, I was stuck on the back of a pick up in 30+ degree direct sun, and wind, in the desert, parts of my skin exposed, panicking a little, because it was too rough/bumpy to reapply and I felt like I was frying. I’d applied this 2 hours earlier and knew I needed to top up it was some time before I topped up but at the end of the day I was still unburnt. This really is an amazing sunscreen. I spent 10 days closer to the equator than I’ve been in a long time and I’m still very white. Not a win for a lot of people, but for me I’m happy. I’ve had some serious burns in the past and know my skin cancer risk is higher, I’ve grown to love my skin.
On a side note the Altruist moisturiser is great! It’s the best skincare product I’ve found this year!
