   I have it in yellow tube(new packaging) in tinted form(light shade), it’s written on it:Photoderm Max SPF100 tinted cream and it claims to be water resistant and suitable for sensitive skin
   My skin was normal to dry when I bought it so I picked this one up instead of the fluid one which seems to be for oily skin.I always use moisturizer before any tinted cream so I did the same first time that I tried this.it wasn’t flakey and spread well on my face but it was very very white! I had bought it in tinted form hoping that it will even out my skin color so that I can skip makeup somedays but using a foundation after this one is nessaciry because I couldn’t even imagine leaving house with such a white face
   Fortunately my foundation sit well on it (I used Mac Face & Body) and after wearing foundation it didn’t look bad anymore but not as good and skin-lile as the times I use my Face & Body foundation alone.that day I returned home after 12 hours and I still didn’t look bad or too shiney
   The other day I applied this sunscreen without using a moisturizer.I couldn’t spread and blend it and it looked awful and my foundation didn’t sit on it.I tried washing my face to redo applying it by using a moisturizer but water washed it in some spots and it remained in some areas.I had to cleanse it with a makeup remover
   I’m giving it 3 stars though because it didn’t break down my sensitive skin.seems to have great protection.blends well and is ok as foundation base if I use moisturizer and is very easy to access and not expensive (most Bioderma products are sold in every drugstore in my country,I bought it 10$)
   I won’t repurchase unless I can’t find a better option as it has two important CONs
   It’s very white
   And it doesn’t sit well on skin without moisturizing my skin first
   I will probably try Bioderma sunscreens in fluid and untinted form next time

   I don’t what happened to this product, seeing I was using this yonkers ago, and it was great. (A change of formula/ingredients?) Anyhow, this just sucks. I live in Greece, where the sun certainly aint your pal, and i swim laps outdoors every afternoon, and wearing retinol everynight, means i need a super intense sunscreen block. All I can say is that once I hit the shower before getting into the pool, just to wet my hair and body, the slightest contact with water makes this stuff just run wildly down my face and decollete, which of-course means this is not stable and you get zero protection. What a disappointment. Apart from that, this is suited for normal/dry skin, (which i have) I didn’t notice a tragic white cast and it left my face looking smooth, but I will definitely never re-use or re-purchase again.

   This is one miserable sunscreen. It goes on white and extrememly streaky to the point of unusable. It’s like you try to spread it, it decides to flake off at the same time. It’s also greasy and heavy.

   Thankfully, I received this in a swap. I really tried to make this work for me. The sun protection is great, but the texture, color, and shine are just miserable. It’s noticeably white, sticky, shiny, and it starts to flake and peel all over. It’s just terrible.

   This got little bit less shine than the fluide version and also UV expert. It is also easier to spread than the fluide/lait version as well. It doesn’t leave a white cast but I found that it balls off sometimes if I use a gel consistency product underneath. So when it balls off, it becomes hard for me to obtain a even look or I will look chalky. I also found my skin a little bit suffocated when using it although I didn’t breakout from it. Afterall, I will prefer it more than lait but this still hasn’t reached my desired sunscreen. The search continue.
