It’s available in the US and in Europe, and it’s very reasonably priced in France. Boo! I’m guessing the reason is that Australian sunscreen regulations are very stringent due to our crazy UV levels and thin ozone (lots of in vivo tests on human volunteers required), so it’s pretty expensive to get new sunscreen products approved. The catch is… they’re not available in Australia, and as far as I know Bioderma have no plans to bring the Photoderm line here. As with most European sunscreens, the full ingredient listings can be easily found on the packaging or online. They’re also both fragrance free and paraben free, if you’re sensitive to either of these. If your skin likes silicones, you might have better luck. It contains a lot of cyclopentasiloxane, and silicones have never played well with my skin so I really should’ve known better. The Ultra Fluid claims to have a “non-oily texture” but on my oily skin it just feels like straight-up oil. I much prefer the Milk, which rubs in reasonably well on my skin, though it leaves a slightly tacky layer that goes away when I douse it with some translucent powder. Bioderma Photoderm Max Milk (Lait) is a slightly runny cream that feels like a regular body sunscreen, while Bioderma Photoderm Max Ultra Fluid is a runny liquid (there’s also the Cream and Aquafluid available). The main difference between the Bioderma sunscreens is texture. Bioderma Photoderm Max Milk (Lait) and Max Ultra Fluid SPF 50+ PPD 42īioderma’s Photoderm Max range has ridiculously high PPD (UVA protection) values – greater than 40, compared to Japan’s highest PA++++ which translates to around PPD 16+. This time, I’m reviewing products from two of the highest protection sunscreen ranges available – Bioderma Photoderm Max and La Roche-Posay Anthelios. ![]() I have a huge love of French sunscreens – while they tend to be a bit greasier than Japanese sunscreens like Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence, the SPF and UVA protection (measured by PPD) is top notch.
