Daily UV exposure drives dark spots, uneven tone, and premature aging. You need broad-spectrum defense that also treats your skin. Avene Ultra Serum 1.2% Niacinamide SPF50+ protects and corrects in one lightweight step, no white cast, no compromise.

Key Benefits

  • Two steps in one: Replaces your separate serum and SPF, cutting your morning routine down to one bottle.
  • Fades dark spots visibly: 1.2% niacinamide evens tone and reduces pore size over 4-6 weeks.
  • No white cast or grease: Ultra-light serum absorbs instantly, layers under makeup without pilling.
  • SPF50+ photostable filters: Broad-spectrum UVA/UVB defense that does not degrade in sunlight.
  • Soothes reactive skin: Avene thermal spring water calms sensitivity and strengthens your barrier daily.
  • Hypoallergenic, dermatologist-tested: Safe for post-procedure, rosacea-prone, and sensitive skin types.

Key Ingredients

SPF50+ photostable UV filters: Broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays that remains effective throughout sun exposure. 1.2% Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Fades post-inflammatory dark marks, shrinks pore appearance, and regulates oil production. Hyaluronic Acid: Draws moisture into skin and plumps fine lines. Avene Thermal Spring Water: Soothes irritation, reduces redness, and strengthens the moisture barrier in sensitive skin.

How to Use

Apply a generous layer to your face and neck every morning after moisturizer. Use it as your final skincare step before makeup. Reapply every two hours during prolonged outdoor sun exposure. Use daily year-round. UV damage accumulates even on cloudy days and through windows.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this if I have rosacea or sensitive skin?

Yes, this formula is hypoallergenic and dermatologist-tested for sensitive and reactive skin types. Avene thermal spring water soothes redness and irritation. The 1.2% niacinamide concentration is gentle enough for daily use on rosacea-prone complexions.

Does this serum leave a white cast on darker skin tones?

No, this ultra-light serum absorbs instantly with zero white cast. The photostable UV filters blend transparently into all skin tones. You can layer it under makeup or tinted moisturizer without pilling or residue.

How long until I see results on dark spots?

Most users notice visible tone improvement after 4 to 6 weeks of consistent daily use. Niacinamide fades post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation gradually. Pair it with nightly retinoid use for faster dark-spot correction.

Do I still need a separate moisturizer underneath?

If your skin is dry, apply a lightweight moisturizer first, then this serum as your final step. If your skin is oily or combination, this serum provides enough hydration on its own thanks to hyaluronic acid.

Can I use this during pregnancy?

Avene Ultra Serum 1.2% Niacinamide SPF50+ does not contain ingredients commonly flagged for pregnancy or breastfeeding, and many customers use it during that time. Avene does not make a specific pregnancy claim, so please check with your physician or midwife if you have any doubt.
