Avene Tolerance Control is built for skin that reacts to nearly everything. It calms your hypersensitive skin in 30 seconds and restores your barrier in 48 hours. It is the only Avene formula built around a patented postbiotic active and a sterile, preservative-free tube.

Key Benefits

  • 30-Second Calming: Soothes heating, tingling, and tightness almost on contact.
  • 48-Hour Barrier Repair: Restores your skin's natural defense layer with consistent use.
  • Patented D-Sensinose Postbiotic: A unique active that targets the root cause of reactive skin discomfort.
  • Sterile Cosmetique Formula: Sealed tube keeps the cream free from outside air and bacteria.
  • Fragrance and Preservative Free: Nothing added that could trigger your sensitivity.
  • Dermatologist-Tested: Clinically validated on the most intolerant and allergic skin types.

Key Ingredients

Avene Thermal Spring Water: Rich in minerals and silicates, it soothes reactive skin and is the foundation of every Avene formula. Aquaphilus Dolomiae Extract Filtrate: The patented D-Sensinose postbiotic derived from this microorganism calms the sensory receptors that cause stinging and tightness. Squalane: A lightweight emollient that softens your skin without clogging pores. Glycerin: Draws moisture into the skin to deliver deep, lasting hydration. Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride: A gentle plant-derived oil that reinforces your moisture barrier.

How to Use

Apply morning and evening to clean, dry skin. Use your fingertips to smooth a small amount over your face and neck. Avoid the eye area. For maximum comfort, apply it after any targeted serum while your skin is still slightly damp. In the morning, follow with a broad-spectrum SPF. You can use it daily as your primary moisturizer and barrier treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly does this cream calm reactive skin flare-ups?

Yes, clinical testing showed it calms sensations of heating, tingling, and tightness in 30 seconds. The patented Aquaphilus Dolomiae postbiotic targets sensory receptors directly, giving you near-instant relief without any fragrances or preservatives that could worsen irritation.

Is the Tolerance Control cream truly preservative-free and safe for allergic skin?

Yes, the formula contains no added fragrances or preservatives. It is dispensed from a Cosmetique Sterile tube that blocks outside air and bacteria, so no preservatives are needed. It has been rigorously tested on hypersensitive, allergic, and intolerant skin types.

Can I use this cream alongside retinol or other active treatments?

Yes, its high-tolerance formula makes it a strong choice for calming post-retinol irritation. Apply it after your active treatment to soothe any stinging or tightness. Because it is fragrance-free and preservative-free, it layers well without adding further sensitizing ingredients.

Is this the same as the Avene Tolerance Extreme cream?

No, Tolerance Control is a newer formulation featuring the patented D-Sensinose postbiotic, Aquaphilus Dolomiae Extract Filtrate, which is not in the older Tolerance Extreme range. It also comes in the Cosmetique Sterile tube for enhanced formula protection.
