Bioderma Photoderm Xdefense Ultra-Fluid SPF50+ Shade 2 40 ml

What skin types is it suitable for?
Suitable for all skin types, with particular suitability for combination and oily skin that requires shine control and a matte finish. Also tolerated by sensitive skin according to clinical tests.

Can it be used on the body?
Formulated primarily for the face and neck; its texture and tone are designed for facial use. Applying it to body areas requires evaluating the cost-benefit ratio due to the 40ml format.

Can it be used as a makeup base or as a base for makeup?
Yes. Ultra-fluid texture and matte finish facilitate the application of makeup and natural makeup, acting as a light base that unifies without cracking other cosmetics.

Is it water resistant?
The formula requires reapplication after bathing, sweating, or friction; water resistance is not specified as a primary feature. Reapply according to exposure level.

Can it be combined with vitamin C or other treatments?
Compatible with most daytime treatments such as vitamin C, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid; apply the sunscreen as the last step before makeup.

Does it protect against visible light and infrared light?
It includes protection against visible and infrared light in addition to UV protection, contributing to a broader defense against cell damage and photoaging.

What shades and coverage are available?
Shade 2 offers a medium shade with light coverage that evens out skin tone naturally without a mask-like effect.

Is it safe for eyes and sensitive skin?
Skin and eye tolerance is high; in case of sensitivity or reactions, discontinue use and consult a specialist.

Shake the bottle before use to ensure the formula is homogenized. Apply a generous, even amount to the face and neck as the final step in your morning routine. Reapply every two hours during prolonged sun exposure or after swimming, heavy sweating, or towel drying. It can be used as a fluid primer before makeup or as a substitute for facial moisturizer in daily routines that provide facial sun protection and a matte finish.

Use on sensitive skin: perform a patch test on a small area before extensive use. Avoid direct contact with mucous membranes or eyes; in case of eye contact, rinse thoroughly with water. Discontinue use if signs of persistent irritation occur and consult a dermatologist. Reapplication is essential to maintain protection during prolonged sun exposure; it does not replace other sun protection measures such as clothing, sunglasses, and avoiding peak sun hours.
