Avène… a name that brings a smile to my face. I have not used a single Avène product that has not impressed. And my sensitive skin is grateful as Avène comes to the rescue yet again.
Avène to the rescue… again!
Avène Hydrance Aqua-Gel
Avène Hydrance Aqua-Gel is new and it is one of my all time favourites from the brand.
An all-in-one hydrating skin care solution, inspired by Japanese beauty rituals that can be used as a day cream, a sleeping mask and around the eye contour. The fresh, aqua-gel texture melts into your skin and provides a glowing, dewy look.
Firstly, the aqua-gel texture is extremely soothing and your skin will love it. Mine most definitely does. It melts into your skin leaving it feeling soft and soothed. It is also surprisingly light which makes it good for all year round. I love that it is a multi-tasker that can be used as a daily moisturizer, a sleeping mask and for eye contour care. Patented Cohederm complex provides intense hydration and the combination of Dextran Sulfate and Pre-tocopheryl helps to fight free radical attacks. It also contains a high concentration of Avène Thermal Spring Water (75%) that offers intense soothing and softening benefits. I don’t think I need to tell you how amazing this cult favourite is! A 50ml jar retails for R349 and it’s worth every cent.
Avène Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream & Cicalfate Drying Repair Lotion
Avène Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream is brand new and personally, I am so thankful for the release of this tube. My hands have been struggling with all the sanitising and Cicalfate+ has been a godsend. This is also a multi-tasker and it works for superficial cuts, razor burn, post-epilation irritations, nappy rash, skin irritations, peri-oral irritations, sunburn, mask-related skin irritations and more. And of course eczema. RSP R209
