Avène Tolérance Control Soothing Skin Recovery Cream
The SOS moisturizer
If your skin is extra intolerant or sensitized after a cosmetic or medical procedure, then the Tolérance Control Soothing Skin Recovery Cream is one of the best Avène products to reach for. The star ingredient here is D-Sensinose™ an ultra-calming postbiotic active that provides a soothing effect in just 30 seconds! It is also, of course, highly effective over time, being able to control the reactivity of the skin in 1 month.
Of course, this cream is also rich in Avène thermal spring water, which complements the soothing action of D-Sensinose™ and helps keep the skin hydrated and shielded from environmental sources of irritation.

Avène Vitamin Activ Cg Radiance Correcting Serum
The antioxidant serum for sensitive skin
Because Avène knows that those with sensitive skin have a hard time finding vitamin C serums that work for them, they’ve recently launched the Avène Vitamin Activ Cg Radiance Correcting Serum, a gentle but hardworking radiance-boosting cocktail.
Formulated with antioxidant vitamin Cg (aka ascorbyl glucoside, a form of vitamin C), brightening niacinamide, and smoothing bakuchiol, this serum is an ideal option for those who want to correct signs of fatigue along with the first signs of skin aging.
Avène Cleanance Cleansing Gel
The perfect cleanser for oily skin
This soap-free cleansing gel is designed for the daily care of oily as well as acne-prone skin. Rich in Avène thermal spring water, a super-soothing ingredient, this gel cleanses oily skin types without triggering breakouts and excessive oil production. The skin feels clean, fresh, and purified, but never tight or uncomfortable!

Avène Cleanance Comedomed Anti-Imperfections Concentrate
The 7-day acne treatment

With a formula suitable for both adolescent and adult acne, this concentrate features Comedoclastin™, a patented plant extract that minimizes the appearance of imperfections and blackheads and helps prevent their reappearance.
With visible results from 7 days onwards, Avène Cleanance Comedomed is the ideal anti-acne product for those who have sensitive skin and don’t want to risk using extreme active ingredients, but still want to see results!

Avène Sun Intense Protect Fluid Fragrance-Free SPF50+
The versatile sunscreen for the entire family
When the Avène Sun Intense Protect Unscented Fluid SPF50+ was launched, it instantly became a staple of our sunscreen recommendations here at Care to Beauty. With broad-spectrum sun protection and a high tolerance formula developed with sensitive skin in mind, this sunscreen manages to fulfill the difficult mission of adapting to both the most intense sun conditions and the most vulnerable skin types.
The fluid texture is quickly absorbed and leaves an invisible finish on the skin, without a white cast even on dark skin tones. Furthermore, the packaging has a generous capacity, which is ideal, as we like to recommend this versatile sunscreen to the whole family, including babies!
