A complete antioxidant complex to fight against the harmful effects of oxidative stress, Avène A-Oxitive Antioxidant Defense Serum helps boost skin's defenses by neutralizing free radical effects. Pre-Tocopheryl and Ascorbyl Glucoside—stable forms of Vitamin E and C, respectively—help protect skin against free radical effects and environmental stressors, while GP4G, an energizing molecule, helps the skin boost and optimize its natural defenses. Infused with Avène Thermal Spring Water to help restore the skin's balance while providing soothing and softening properties, this serum is instantly refreshing, fast absorbing, and is suitable for all sensitive skin types. Skin is protected, hydrated and visibly plumped, wrinkles and fine lines appear smoothed, and pores are less visible, revealing a more radiant complexion.
Hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic, paraben-free.
A form of stable vitamin C that is combined with glucose to extend antioxidant benefits to the skin over a longer period of time.

Love Avene products but this one was a bit too light for me. I am looking for a rich serum and this was not enough for my skin. However, if you prefer a light serum please try this one because it is nice and includes antioxidants.

Tried this as a sample and had to buy it. I love the light feel and it smells great. It’s a great addition to my morning routine before sunscreen to help protect my skin against environmental damage.

I refrained from writing a review of this product until I had completed my 1st purchase. Now I'm ready to purchase again. The serum goes on light, you need very little, as it goes a long way and dries quickly. I use it under moisturizer for days when I need extra protection and other times I wear it before bed. I like the way it feels. I take excellent care of my skin and I have very good skin for a woman in her 50's. Highly recommend.

I’ve been using this product for a few weeks now, and I love the way it makes my skin feel and look. My skin looks brighter and feels softer. It’s a light product that doesn’t leave my face or hands feeling sticky or thick like some products do. I will purchase this again when it’s empty.

Not tacky at all, goes on very smoothly, very light scent. I have sensitive, acne-prone skin and this one doesn’t burn or clog my face.

I had enjoyed using the water cream formula during the cooler months, but thought I'd like to try a little less moisturizing Vitamin C for the more humid months. The defense serum is lighter but glides on just as nicely. I thought perhaps it would be "stronger", but I didn't really see any difference in efficacy, I do like the lighter formula for summer. I would purchase again.

Avene is an excellent skincare company. Not sure why they put fragrance in some of their products. The samples I got seemed to work well with me, and the scent was light enough that I thought this wouldn't irritate my skin, but I was wrong. I bought it and after a week gave the product to my sister. She has very dry skin, a bit of an uneven skin tone, but she has no allergies to fragrance. This worked well for her! Just not for me :(
