Avene Your skin feels tight by noon, and most moisturizers either sit on top or vanish too fast. This French pharmacy aqua-gel delivers 24-hour hydration in a weightless texture that absorbs in seconds, so your sensitive skin stays plump and calm all day without greasy buildup.

Key Benefits

  • Instant lightweight hydration: Aqua-gel texture absorbs in seconds without residue.
  • Calms sensitive skin daily: Avene Thermal Spring Water reduces redness and tightness.
  • Plumps dehydrated skin: Sodium hyaluronate and glycerin lock in moisture for 24 hours.
  • Strengthens skin barrier: Squalane and phytosterols protect against environmental stress.
  • Non-comedogenic formula: Will not clog pores or trigger breakouts.

Key Ingredients

Avene Thermal Spring Water: Clinically proven to soothe and soften reactive skin. Sodium Hyaluronate: A hydrating molecule that attracts and holds moisture in skin cells. Glycerin: A humectant that draws water into the skin and keeps it hydrated. Squalane: A plant-derived lipid that mimics skin's natural oils and reinforces the moisture barrier. Phytosterols from Pumpkin Seed Oil: Support skin barrier repair and calm inflammation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this cream under makeup?

Yes, the lightweight aqua-gel texture absorbs instantly and creates a smooth base for makeup. It will not pill or leave a greasy film, so your foundation applies evenly over hydrated skin.

Is this cream thick enough for nighttime?

Yes, apply a thicker layer at night as a sleeping mask. The formula penetrates deeply while you sleep, so you wake up with plump, refreshed skin without feeling sticky or heavy.

Will this cream work for oily skin?

Yes, the non-comedogenic gel texture hydrates oily skin without adding shine or clogging pores. It balances moisture so your skin produces less excess oil throughout the day.

Does this contain fragrance?

The INCI list shows a small amount of fragrance, but the formula is designed for sensitive skin. If you react to fragrance, consider Avene Tolerance Control Soothing Cream, which is fragrance-free.
