Avène Couvrance Compact Foundation Cream 1.2 Sand SPF 30 is a high-coverage, high-tolerance cream compact that corrects imperfections and evens the complexion of sensitive skin in a few touches. Its ultra-soft, melting cream texture glides on for a natural, luminous finish that holds all day, while SPF 30 filters help protect the skin from UV rays. This compact comes in shade 1.2 Sand, with its sponge.

Key Benefits

  • High coverage: immediate, long-lasting correction of imperfections, even the most visible ones.
  • Even, luminous complexion: unifies skin tone and visibly reduces the look of redness.
  • SPF 30: sun filters help protect sensitive skin from UV rays.
  • Comfortable cream texture: an ultra-soft, melting formula that nourishes and hydrates the skin.
  • Non-shiny finish: kaolin helps mattify, so the skin does not look oily.
  • High tolerance: fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, tested under dermatological and ophthalmological control.

Key Ingredients

Pro-Vitamin E, a stable form of vitamin E patented by Pierre Fabre, helps protect the skin from the oxidative stress caused by free radicals. Sun filters provide the SPF 30 protection, kaolin helps absorb excess shine, and shea butter and squalane give the cream its soft, comfortable feel. Avène also uses the Couvrance range at the corrective makeup workshop of its thermal spa.
