If your skin burns, stings, or flares red at the slightest trigger, you need a formula built for maximum tolerance. Avene Tolerance Control Soothing Balm calms your hypersensitive, reactive skin fast with 99% natural origin ingredients. This rich, fragrance-free balm stops burning in 30 seconds and rebuilds your barrier over time.

Key Benefits

  • Stops burning in 30 seconds: Calms stinging, itching, and redness from the first application.
  • Rebuilds barrier over time: Shea butter, squalane, and ceramide precursors repair and reinforce your skin's protective layer.
  • 99% natural origin: Free from fragrance, parabens, and common sensitizers that trigger reactions.
  • Safe for reactive skin: Dermatologist-tested and hypoallergenic for intolerant, allergic, or compromised complexions.
  • All-day comfort without heaviness: Provides lasting hydration in a non-greasy, non-comedogenic texture.

Key Ingredients

Avene Thermal Spring Water: Harvested from the Avene spring in southern France, this clinically proven water soothes and softens sensitive skin. Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii Butter): Rich in fatty acids, it nourishes and repairs your damaged barrier. Squalane: A plant-derived lipid that mimics your skin's natural oils, locking in moisture without clogging pores. Glycerin: A humectant that draws water into your skin for deep, lasting hydration. Aquaphilus Dolomiae Extract Filtrate: A postbiotic derived from Avene Thermal Spring Water that strengthens your skin's tolerance threshold.

How to Use

Apply to clean, dry skin every morning and evening. Smooth a small amount over your face and neck using gentle upward motions. During a flare-up, apply a slightly thicker layer and let it absorb fully before adding any other products. Use it alone as your daily moisturizer or layer it under makeup. The compact format fits easily in your bag for relief whenever your skin reacts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this during a flare-up or rosacea outbreak?

Yes, apply a slightly thicker layer during a flare-up and let it absorb fully before adding other products. The postbiotic extract and thermal spring water calm redness and burning fast without triggering further irritation.

Is this safe for eczema-prone or atopic skin?

Yes, this balm is dermatologist-tested for intolerant and allergic skin types, including eczema-prone complexions. Its minimalist, fragrance-free formula avoids common sensitizers that worsen atopic dermatitis.

Will this clog my pores or cause breakouts?

No, Avene Tolerance Control Soothing Balm is non-comedogenic. Squalane and glycerin provide rich hydration without heaviness or pore congestion, making it safe for sensitive, acne-prone skin.

How is this different from Avene Cicalfate Lip Repair Balm?

Avene Cicalfate Lip Repair Balm targets chapped, cracked lips with a thick, occlusive texture and copper-zinc complex for healing. Tolerance Control Soothing Balm is a lightweight face balm for hypersensitive, reactive skin that burns or stings easily.
