OK, so I'm only on day 3 of wearing this moisturiser with SPF so who knows what is going to happen down-the-line, but, I just have to rave about the new Avene Hydrance Optimale Light SPF 20! It has not caused any initial irritation, goes on really easily and the finish is just divine! It's matte, but doesn't make my skin look flat (there's still a nice glow!). The active ingredients are octinoxate, Tinsrb-S and octocrylene so the protection is broad-spectrum.
Today my skin was a little drier so I patted a little Cetaphil cream on first, but if this works out I might try the rich version too and alternate them depending on how my skin feels.
Keep everything crossed for me!

AVENE AQUA. ETHYLHEXYL METHOXYCINNAMATE. OCTOCRYLENE. BIS-ETHYLHEXYLOXYPHENOL METHOXYPHENYL TRIAZINE. CYCLOMETHICONE. ALUMINUM STARCH OCTENYLSUCCINATE. POLYMETHYL METHACRYLATE.
