CLARINS UV Plus Anti-Pollution Facial Sunscreen SPF 50 — Oil-Free, Lightweight Protection

Clarins UV Plus Anti-Pollution is an oil-free daily facial sunscreen that delivers broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection while helping shield skin from urban pollutants.

This lightweight formula combines high-level UVA/UVB defence with Clarins' plant-derived Anti-Pollution Complex to reduce the visible effects of sun exposure and environmental aggressors. Designed to layer under makeup, it absorbs quickly without leaving a white cast and contains antioxidants to support the skin's surface against free-radical stress. The texture and instructions make it suitable for everyday use as part of a morning routine.

How does this sunscreen protect skin from sun damage and pollution?

The product pairs broad-spectrum SPF 50 filters with an Anti-Pollution Complex to address both the immediate effects of UV exposure and the ongoing impact of airborne particles. Antioxidant ingredients help neutralize free radicals generated by sunlight and environmental stressors, supporting a barrier that reduces the look of dark spots and early photo-aging signs.

• Broad-spectrum SPF 50 for UVA and UVB defence.
• Plant-based Anti-Pollution Complex to reduce pollutant adhesion.
• Antioxidants that help counteract free radicals.
• Oil-free formula that minimizes shine while protecting skin.

Will it feel heavy or leave a white cast under makeup?

The texture is formulated to be lightweight and fast-absorbing, so it sits comfortably under serums, moisturizers, and foundation. Because it’s oil-free and designed for facial use, it avoids the chalky residue often associated with high-SPF products, making it easier to blend with other skincare and cosmetics.

• Sheer finish built for layering with moisturizer and makeup.
• Non-greasy, quick-absorbing feel to reduce shine.
• No visible white cast on most skin tones when applied as directed.

How should I apply Clarins UV Plus Anti-Pollution for best results?

Apply this sunscreen as the final step of your morning skincare routine after moisturizing. Shake the bottle, warm a small amount between your palms, then press gently from the center of the face outward to ensure even coverage; repeat for the neck. Reapply throughout the day after sweating, swimming, or towel drying to maintain protection.

• Use after moisturizer and before makeup application.
• Shake well, warm between palms, and press onto face and neck.
• Reapply every two hours during prolonged sun exposure or after water contact.

What skin types and concerns is this formula suited for?

This oil-free sunscreen is formulated for all skin types, including combination and oil-prone skin, because it controls shine while delivering broad UV protection. It’s also suitable for people who live in urban environments and want an everyday product that helps limit the visible impact of pollution and environmental stress.

• Suitable for normal, combination, and oily skin types.
• Good choice for city dwellers exposed to air pollution.
• Works well under makeup for daily sun defence.
