The Bioderma Photoderm AKN Mat SPF 30 claims to be a mattifying fluid with high protection. Although it is little frangranced with a citrus scent which is very pleasant it is paraben free.
The packing is nice and simple which makes it very easy to dispense the product. The cream itself looks like a classic sun screen, a thin white cream.
I apply a generous amount all over the face, it does sometimes give a slight white cast however this goes after a few minutes. The cream is definitely matte as it sets after it is applied which makes it great if you have oily skin. Even though I apply a lot of product, normally twice as much as shown above to make sure I have a full protection all over the face, this never feels heavy on the skin.
All in all I am very impressed with this SPF, it feels light and mattifying on the skin and I haven't burnt at all since using this, even with this hot weather recently. It is great to use under makeup or on it's own. I also haven't broken out in any blemishes since using this.
Bioderma Photoderm AKN Mat SPF 30 retails for £13.70 (Currently 20% off at £11.96).
What is your favourite facial SPF?
Ooh! This sounds great, might have to give it a go! How is it with makeup on top? Does foundation/powder go on ok with this underneath? Also have you noticed if it causes breakouts at all? Sorry for all the questions!

No it's fine, I mentioned it in the post that it is great under makeup because it doesn't feel heavy on the skin. I've had no breakouts from using it either :)
