Customer reviews
Shoppers are praising the product for its effectiveness and affordability. Here are some customer reviews:
“Great value for money! I have very sensitive skin and this is one of the few face sunscreens that I don’t react to. It gives good protection and has a nice texture to it. As mentioned below, it can pill if you rub it in too hard. It is the perfect size to fit in to your bag or pocket so you have it to hand at all times.”
“This stuff is amazing. We were originally recommended this brand by an NHS dermatologist for my son’s sensitive skin so I thought I’d give the face fluid a go. It’s the only sunscreen that doesn’t sting (at all!) my very sensitive skin or make any red areas even worse. My skin and red/blotchy patches have been so much better since switching to this from CeraVe’s suncream.”
“This is an excellent product that leaves no white cast when applied to the skin. I have been using this for the last year and I have even bought this sunscreen for my family members and relatives. I cannot recommend altruist enough.”
