## Description

Product Description Altruist. Dermatologist Sunscreen SPF 50 is designed for sensitive skin: hypoallergenic and fragrance free. Packaging may vary Ingredients Aqua, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Ethylhexyl Stearate, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Glycerin, Octocrylene, Titanium Dioxide (Nano), Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid, Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate, Ethylhexyl Triazone, Phenoxyethanol, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Sodium Hydroxide, Alumina, Panthenol, Simethicone, Caprylyl Glycol, Piroctone Olamine, Titanium Dioxide, Silver Chloride, Diethylhexyl Sodium Sulfosuccinate, Propylene Glycol Directions Dermatologist's advice: Sunburn increases your risk of skin cancer. Cumulative UV exposure increases your risk of skin cancer and skin ageing. Reduce your risk by covering up with clothes and a broad rimmed hat when outdoors. Apply sunscreen generously to exposed skin before going out. Reapply frequently (frequency will vary according to conditions, but every 2-3 hours is a good guide) and after swimming or towelling. For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Try to avoid the sun between 11am – 3 pm. Prolonged exposure to the sun may be harmful. Babies should not be exposed to the sun.

Review: Undeniable Quality, always Affordable! - I have used Altruist for around 7 years now, since getting pretty bad acne in my late teens, and going on a big skincare journey from there. It has never aggravated my acne, or eczema, it sits well under makeup, it's not greasy, and it has a neutral smell. I appreciate that their products have remained affordable, and that they stay true to their cause - protecting skin! Their facial fluid formula had to change for a while a few years back (because of ingredient shortages, great customer service btw), and it kept pilling, so I opted for this particular spf 50 instead, and I have stuck to it since! So even their body sunscreens are great on your face, even if you're acne-prone! Thank you Altruist :)
Review: Good sunscreen - Good.caused me no skin problems & blocked sun. Very reasonably priced. Will be buying again when needed.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this sunscreen cruelty free ?**
A: Well, neither Peta nor Leaping Bunny has their name in their "companies do not test their products on animals" list, even though they claim they are cruelty-free. I wish they could provide a proof that they are cruelty free, but somehow they fail to do so. I believe it is because the finish product is not tested on animals, yet the ingredients sure did.

**Q: Safe to use on 2.5 year old? should i stick to spf50? child in advertising.**
A: I use it on my 2 very sensitive children (3 & 1yr old). They react to every other brand I have tried so far - all the mainstream ones that claim to be great, yet this stuff has been no problem and is amazing. It is also the only one I have ever found that doesn’t turn our clothes cream/yellow (since it soaks into the skin). Wish I’d discovered it years ago! :)

**Q: Does it work under makeup? I've had a lot of patchy experiences with sunscreens+makeup**
A: Yes it’s very smooth. Actually makeup looks better. You might have to use powder if ur skin is oily

**Q: Does this sunscreen prevent prickly heat?**
A: I am currently trying this but the only one that I have found great for sun allergy is The Green People

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sunscreen that can work wonders if you know how to use it
*by B***T on 23 April 2020*

I bought this sunscreen cause it was cheap and recommended by Dr Dray (whomst I stan). However, I have been thinking about people's reviews of this sunscreen saying that it can ball up, pill. And yes, I can confirm it can pill. However, I figured out that the best ways to prevent this is to rub the sunscreen as fast and aggressively as possible. Not like super aggressively to rub your skin off, but pretty decisively so to speak. Normally when I apply some kind of product I put blobs on different parts of my face and once I'm done, I'm rubbing the product to my skin. But with this sunscreen, I found out you should not do that. As soon as it is on your skin, it works fast, so it's best to put a blob of it on one part of the skin, then rub it in, then once you are done, move to another part of the skin. It's also important to wait for a while and not touch your face (which you should not be doing that much anyway) to let it dry out, and if there's any excess product, you just tap on it until it's gone. I also recommend not to apply any oil-based products like serums before applying this sunscreen cause oil and water do not mix (and this sunscreen is water-based). As you can see, this sunscreen is pretty fussy, but I think if you want to save your money, it's worth the struggle. After all, the trend is that most people buy expensive Asian 50ml sunscreens that take a month to ship and in the end, people don't apply enough sunscreen to reach its SPF on the bottle. But you need to re-apply sunscreen every 2 hours and you need to apply it liberally, not skimp on it. Except for these application problems, there's nothing wrong I can say about this sunscreen. Doesn't leave a white cast, it's moisturising and it's fragrance and alcohol-free. I recommend trying it out!
