We treat unsponsored dermatologist skin-care recommendations like gold—rightfully so—especially when they involve something as important as sun protection. That’s why we’re spotlighting Phoenix, AZ dermatologist Dr. Karan Lal’s latest recommendation: the Avène Mineral Tinted Compact ($21, originally $42), an innovative fusion of makeup and skin care which just so happens to be on major sale right now.
Dr. Lal posted a TikTok on Sunday, December 1, demonstrating how the cream-to-powder compact delivers impressive coverage while providing mineral broad-spectrum SPF 50 UVA/UVB protection. He showed how it minimizes the appearance of hyperpigmentation on his nose and dark circles under his eyes, praising the "super matte" finish and how "it looks so good in pictures."

Dr. Lal even described the compact as "magic" and he’s clearly not alone—this product has thousands of five-star reviews to prove it’s worth the hype. And the timing couldn’t be better: the French skin-care brand is currently offering major discounts at Ulta. In addition to the tinted compact, you can score the brand's beloved Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream ($14, originally $28) and Thermal Spring Water ($7, originally $14), among others, on major sale, too. Shop them all ahead.
