While daily sun protection is a non-negotiable step for healthy skin, finding a high-factor sunscreen that doesn’t leave behind a greasy, reflective sheen in our humid climate has long felt like an impossible ask, particularly for those managing combination or oily complexions.
Addressing this exact pain point, dermatological skincare brand Uriage has introduced its latest innovation to Singapore: the Bariésun Ultra-Matte Aqua Fluid SPF50+. Trusted by healthcare professionals globally, the brand’s newest addition aims to deliver uncompromising sun safety without the heavy, stifling texture traditionally associated with maximum protection.
A Bare-Skin Feel Engineered for Humidity
Designed specifically with daily comfort in mind, the new aqua fluid features an ultra-lightweight, invisible texture that absorbs into the skin instantly. By skipping the heavy emollients that often cause breakouts or midday shine, it leaves a comfortable, dry-touch finish that actively controls oil for up to 12 hours.
This weightless formulation makes it a highly effective primer under makeup, ensuring foundations and concealers sit smoothly without sliding off as the temperature rises.
“Singapore’s heat and humidity make shine-control one of the top concerns we hear from our consumers when it comes to sun care,” notes Sharon Teo, Brand Manager at Uriage Singapore. “With the Bariésun Ultra-Matte Aqua Fluid SPF50+, we wanted to prove that high-level sun protection and a matte, makeup-ready finish don’t have to be a trade-off.”
Advanced Protection Beyond UV Rays
The formulation goes significantly further than basic sunscreens by tackling multiple facets of environmental damage simultaneously. Utilising Uriage’s proprietary Skin Shield Technology alongside specialised mattifying powders, the fluid creates a comprehensive shield against UVA and UVB rays, as well as the blue light emitted by everyday digital screens.
To prevent premature aging and cellular stress, the formula integrates:
- An Antioxidant Powerhouse: A potent blend of Astaxanthin and Vitamin E works to neutralise free radicals, keeping photoageing at bay.
- Uriage Thermal Water: Sourced from the French Alps, this mineral-rich water naturally reinforces the skin’s barrier while maintaining deep hydration.
- Triple Barrier Science: Drawing on three decades of dermatological research and 17 exclusive patents, the formula actively strengthens the skin’s physical moisture barrier, balances its natural microbiome, and supports its immune resilience.
Exclusive Launch Celebrations and Availability
To mark the Singapore launch, Uriage is hosting a public pop-up at Watsons Raffles Place MRT from 29 June to 5 July 2026. Visitors can experience the ultra-matte texture firsthand and take advantage of several limited-time opening offers.
Exclusive event promotions include a 25% discount when purchasing any two Uriage sun care products, triple bonus points for Watsons members, and a complimentary Uriage UV umbrella (valued at $29.90) with every purchase of the new Aqua Fluid.
