If your skin looks dull and tired despite your best efforts, you need a brightening cream that respects sensitivity. Avene Vitamin Activ Cg gives you visible radiance and deep moisture without irritation. Your compromised barrier gets the vitamin C glow it deserves.

Key Benefits

  • Brightens dull, fatigued skin: stabilized vitamin C derivative restores your natural radiance without irritation
  • Evens tone and fades dark spots: progressive action targets post-acne marks and uneven pigmentation over time
  • Locks in lasting moisture: glycerin and shea butter replenish dry skin and keep it soft all day
  • Calms sensitive, reactive skin: Avene Thermal Spring Water soothes redness and reduces barrier sensitivity
  • Layers under SPF and makeup: lightweight texture absorbs fast for morning routines

Key Ingredients

Ascorbyl Glucoside (Stabilized Vitamin Cg): a next-generation vitamin C derivative that brightens and evens tone without the irritation of pure ascorbic acid, ideal for sensitive skin. Niacinamide: strengthens your barrier, reduces redness, and works synergistically with vitamin C to fade dark spots. Avene Thermal Spring Water: clinically proven to soothe and soften reactive, compromised skin. Sodium Hyaluronate: micro-molecular hyaluronic acid that draws moisture deep into your skin for plump, hydrated comfort. Shea Butter: locks in hydration and reinforces your lipid barrier overnight.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this if my skin is sensitive to vitamin C?

Yes, ascorbyl glucoside is a stabilized derivative chosen for superior tolerance. It delivers brightening benefits without the stinging or redness that pure ascorbic acid can cause. Dermatologist-tested for reactive, allergy-prone skin.

Do I apply this morning or night?

Both. Apply morning and evening after cleansing, alone or after your serum. In the morning, always follow with SPF. Vitamin C works progressively, so daily use delivers the best brightening results over 4 to 8 weeks.

Will this fade my dark spots from old breakouts?

Yes, the combination of stabilized vitamin C and niacinamide targets post-acne hyperpigmentation and uneven tone. You'll see gradual fading over 6 to 8 weeks with consistent daily use and sun protection.

Is this fragrance free?

No, this formula contains a light fragrance. However, it is hypoallergenic and dermatologist-tested for sensitive skin. If you have severe fragrance sensitivity, consider Avene Tolerance Control Soothing Cream as a fragrance-free alternative.
