My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Visit Clarins UV Plus [5P] Anti-Pollution – Multi-Protection Moisturizing Screen SPF 50 is primarily intended for people who are exposed to urban environmental aggressors on a daily basis: pollution, UV rays, oxidative stress. Its primary focus is the prevention of premature skin aging (wrinkles, dark spots, loss of radiance) and the protection of sensitive skin or skin prone to dehydration. Clarins' formula stands out for its comprehensive approach, combining advanced sun filters and plant-based active ingredients for complete defense against external aggressors.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three key assets catch my attention:

• Organic and mineral sun filters : The combination of chemical filters (Tinosorb S, Uvinul A Plus, Octisalate) and titanium dioxide provides broad spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays. This synergy optimizes photostability and limits sun-induced cellular damage.
• Anti-pollution plant extracts White horehound and Kalanchoe pinnata are known for their ability to strengthen the skin barrier and neutralize free radicals generated by pollution. They help prevent oxidative stress and preserve the complexion's radiance.
• Vitamin E (tocopherol) : A powerful antioxidant, it protects cell membranes and enhances the action of sunscreens against free radicals, thereby strengthening the skin's overall defense.

Tips and Application Ritual

I apply this product every morning as the last step in my routine, on clean, dry skin, before applying makeup. It is compatible with moisturizing or antioxidant serums (hyaluronic acid, vitamin C), but I avoid combining it with powerful exfoliating active ingredients (AHA/BHA acids) to limit the risk of irritation. Reapplication is recommended in case of prolonged sun exposure.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

This product stands out for its comprehensive sun protection, anti-pollution action, and light texture, making it ideal for everyday use in urban environments. One slight drawback: it contains fragrance and alcohol, which may not be suitable for highly reactive skin. My expert opinion: an excellent option for protecting and preserving youthful skin in urban environments.
