Let customers speak for us
I've been using Face Fluid for quite a while now and am very happy with it. I trust Altruist as a source of products that do what they say they will. SPF is such an important aspect of skincare. I'm glad to have found a company that I can trust to develop products that actually work.
Lovely moisturiser. Light, non-sticky and is absorbed really quickly. I know my skin is protected from the sun every day.
I’ve bought this multiple times. It’s a light day moisturiser. I particularly like the size as I carry to the swimming pool
Beautiful stuff. Goes on well, excellent coverage, fully absorbs with no greasiness. Great protection at a great price
I didn’t realise I’d bought all this,
But it’s so good it’s lovely. I’ve got their sun cream too
Easy to shop with Altruist directly..
I bought this on recommendation from a friend. It is easy to spray on & rub in & is a good sunscreen. My grand daughter lives abroad & I have just left her a can as she can use this product - she has allergic reactions to all preservatives but can use Altruist Invisible Sunspray SPF50.
Lovely cream and very hydrating
All products ordered were as advertised on the website, packed well and arrived as stated. Would order again for sure.[forgot to mention that I ordered two of everything and treated my daughter who was delighted with them and will now be a regular user of ALTRUIST products as am I.]
I always use ALTRUIST products for the sun but have only recently tried the CLEANSING FOAM. I love it and will continue to purchase it in the future. It leaves my face feeling clean and soft, much better than soap or cleansing wipes THANK YOU..
Would only use ALTRUIST FACE FLUID therefore would only use ALTRUIST SUNSCREEN SPF50.The tube is much lighter to carry than plastic bottles and covers skin easily and certainly does the job! Thanks.
I had a small lesion removed from my face sometime ago before I found ALTRUIST FACE FLUID SPF50 and I would not use anything else[obviously!] So Thank You.
