Your SPF should do more than just protect. Avene Ultra Serum Active Radiance SPF 50+ guards your skin against UV damage while visibly brightening uneven tone with every application. This lightweight serum formula absorbs instantly, never leaving a white cast or greasy finish, so you can layer it under makeup or wear it solo.

Key Benefits

  • Broad-spectrum SPF 50+ protection: Shields your skin from UVA and UVB rays that cause dark spots and premature aging.
  • Brightens uneven tone: Active radiance complex visibly evens skin tone and boosts luminosity with daily use.
  • Ultra-lightweight serum texture: Absorbs in seconds without pilling, perfect for layering under makeup or applying alone.
  • Soothes sensitive skin: Avene Thermal Spring Water calms irritation and softens your complexion throughout the day.
  • Non-comedogenic formula: Won't clog pores, making it ideal for combination and sensitive skin types.

Key Ingredients

Avene Thermal Spring Water: Sourced from the Avene spring in southern France, this naturally soothing water calms sensitive skin and reduces irritation. Broad-spectrum UV filters: Medical-grade sunscreen actives block both UVA rays (aging) and UVB rays (burning) to prevent photoaging. Active radiance complex: A blend of brightening actives that targets dullness and uneven tone, revealing a more luminous complexion over time.

How to Use

Apply every morning as the final step in your routine, after moisturizer and before makeup. Dispense 2-3 pumps and smooth evenly over your face, neck, and decollete. Wait 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply every 2 hours during extended outdoor activity, or after swimming or sweating. For daily city wear, one morning application provides adequate protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I wear this under makeup without pilling?

Yes, the ultra-lightweight serum texture absorbs in seconds and creates a smooth base for foundation or tinted moisturizer. Wait 60 seconds after application before layering makeup to ensure full absorption and no pilling.

How is this different from Avene Solaire Tinted Moisturizer?

This formula is a clear brightening serum with SPF 50+, designed to even tone over time without adding color. The Solaire Tinted Moisturizer provides sheer tint coverage plus sun protection but does not contain the active radiance complex for long-term brightening.

Will this leave a white cast on darker skin tones?

No, this serum absorbs completely clear with no white cast. The lightweight formula was designed to work invisibly on all skin tones, unlike traditional mineral sunscreens that can leave a chalky residue.

How long does it take to see brightening results?

Most users notice visibly brighter, more even tone after 4 weeks of daily morning application. For best results, apply every morning as the last step in your routine, 15 minutes before sun exposure.
