I've been using this cream for several years now. I live in Florida and have combination skin during the warmer months. That would be most of the year. This cream is super light weight, hydrating and, after giving it a few minutes to soak in, works well with my EltaMD tinted mineral sunscreen. A little goes a long way.

I discovered this moisturizer as it was recommended by a dermatologist for restoring the skin barrier. I have very sensitive, mature, and combination skin It gets extremely dry and flakey when I use retinol/retinoids, as well as in the winter cold. This is gentle, and overall, it feels good on. It does not clog pores, or cause breakouts, and does not interfere with the application of other skin care products and/or makeup layered on top. As many others mentioned, the scent is pleasant, but a bit strong upon application. The fragrance is, however, unnoticeable in just a short period of time following the initial application. Depending upon how dry or irritated my skin is (very sore nose and underneath the nose area during allergy season) it can slightly sting a bit and I believe that may be due to whatever is used for the fragrance. It is a very effective moisturizer, and when I faithfully apply it before the retionoid/retinol treatment, I don't experience the dryness.

I have tried so many brands, so many formulas...from expensive to more expensive to reasonable. Avene's Hydrance boost falls in the reasonable. I can't say if it works better or worse than anything … more

I have tried so many brands, so many formulas...from expensive to more expensive to reasonable. Avene's Hydrance boost falls in the reasonable. I can't say if it works better or worse than anything else I have tried, but I trust the brand. They make a line of products for sensitive skin. I have gone through several bottles without any adverse reaction and that is what I am after. It has vit. B3, thermal spring water, glycerin and the all-important hyaluronic acid. However, it does have further ingredients (does it really need to?) and I do prefer a cleaner ingredient list. My zero-rating goes for the added fragrance. My first question is, why would sensitive-skin line add any fragrance? My second question is, why this fragrance? It is offensive like a cheap perfume; but it does not linger. The scent alone almost made me never buy it again. But in the end, I can tolerate it.
