Avène Ultra Fluid for combination skin

Users with sensitive and combination skin highly praise this sunscreen for its ultra-light, water-like texture that absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue. While the majority report an invisible finish that works well under makeup, a small subset of users experiences pilling or a slight pale cast depending on their skin type and underlying skincare products.
