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

Clarins UV Plus Anti-Pollution is an oil-free SPF 50 facial sunscreen that provides broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection while helping defend skin from environmental pollution.

This lightweight lotion combines sun filters with Clarins' plant-based Anti-Pollution Complex to protect the skin surface from UV exposure and airborne aggressors. Designed to sit comfortably over a moisturizer, it absorbs quickly without leaving a white cast and supports daily routines where protection and wearability matter.

How does this sunscreen protect skin from sunlight and pollution?

The formula delivers high SPF 50 defense against UVB rays and broad-spectrum coverage for UVA wavelengths, while antioxidants and Clarins' botanical complex help reduce the impact of urban pollutants on the skin surface. It works as a physical and chemical barrier to minimize early signs of sun damage and environmental stress.

• Broad-spectrum SPF 50 for daily sun protection.
• Plant-based Anti-Pollution Complex targets airborne particles and free radicals.
• Antioxidant support helps neutralize environmental aggressors.
• Oil-free formulation reduces shine and feels light on skin.

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

Clarins formulated this sunscreen to be oil-free and fast-absorbing so it blends seamlessly into most skin tones and finishes matte rather than greasy. Because it’s lightweight, it layers well under makeup without pilling or compromising foundation wear.

• Non-greasy texture that absorbs quickly.
• Minimal to no white cast on most skin tones when properly warmed between palms.
• Smooth base for applying primer or foundation afterward.
• Works well under daily skincare and makeup routines.

How do I use Clarins UV Plus Anti-Pollution for best results?

Apply after moisturizing and before any makeup. Shake the bottle, warm a small amount between your palms, then press gently from the center of the face outward for even coverage. Reapply every two hours when exposed to sun and after swimming, sweating, or towel drying.

• Use daily on face and neck after moisturizer.
• Shake well, warm a small amount in your hands, then press on skin.
• Reapply frequently with extended sun exposure.
• Avoid the eye area and use dedicated eye protection as needed.

Is this product suitable for my skin type and concerns?

The oil-free, lightweight design suits oily, combination, and normal skin types especially well, while still being appropriate for dry or sensitive skin when paired with a hydrating base layer. It’s aimed at daily prevention—helping reduce the later appearance of dark spots and visible signs of aging linked to UV and pollution exposure.

• Recommended for all skin types when used over a compatible moisturizer.
• Particularly useful for urban lifestyles with frequent indoor and outdoor exposure.
• Helps address early appearance concerns like uneven pigmentation from environmental stress.
• Patch-test if you have very reactive or allergy-prone skin.

Who is this for: Clarins UV Plus Anti-Pollution SPF 50 is designed for anyone seeking a high-protection, everyday facial sunscreen that layers under makeup and supports skin against both UV radiation and environmental pollutants. It’s ideal for commuters, city dwellers, and those who prefer an oil-free finish with antioxidant support.
