Wonderful product to combat winter dryness

So glad I found this hydrating cream. It's wonderful and just what I needed. I live in the Midwest, and my skin is terribly dry in the winter. No matter what I used, my face felt dry and itchy. This summer I purchased the Avene for sensitive skin moisturizer and liked it. Thus, I decided to return to Avene for a winter moisturizer. So glad I did. I will now use Avene moisturizers for summer and winter.

Avene Hydrance Rich Hydrating Cream

I absolutely love this moisturizer! I am a 75 year old woman who has always used many different products, mostly from my dermatologist, and because of that I've maintained really healthy looking skin. I was introduced to another of Avene's products after a skin procedure and it was the best product I had ever used. So when I received a sample for Hydrance I was anxious to use it. It is incredible. It's super creamy, has a faint lovely fragrance and you really feel like you have applied a moisturizer. My face loves this product.

Silky

This hydrating cream is light, silky, with a faint fragrance. It does not cause skin breakouts and I'm able to use on my eyelids without discomfort.

Super Moisturizing

I love the moisture this gives me! It is rich and creamy. At first, it seems too heavy, but it absorbs nicely, leaving my skin well-hydrated throughout the day. I have very dry skin, and it feels wonderful, especially during the winter dryness! Although, it would probably be too much in the summer months!

Not the best from Avene

I used a few moisturizers from Avene and this is my least favorite. It's oily and doesn't absorb well. I suggest getting a sample to try before you buy the full size.

Great Basic Moisturizer

I love this as an everyday moisturizer, it leaves my skin hydrated but not greasy and goes under makeup well. I would definitely recommend!

Perfect basic moisturizer

This is perfect as a basic moisturizer used over serums with active ingredients such as retinol, etc. Will definitely order again.

Smells clean

I love the scent. It is a clean scent and has a rich feel. I was however disappointed in the size. I was a small tube and I really wanted a body lotion. I believe I misunderstood the marketing of the product.

Avene Hydrance

This is a nice hydrating cream that is not too heavy. It applies smoothly and is not irritating.

Surprisingly Effective!

I say surprisingly because I’ve purchased so many beauty products that promise one thing or another and do absolutely nothing. My dermatologist recommended this brand to me for my incredibly (ridiculously) sensitive skin. My 55 yr old skin is dry on the chin and cheeks and oily on the nose and forehead. I also like to breakout with angry red pimples. When I combat the pimples the other parts of face react contrary to what is ideal. Too dry, too irritated or too red. Enter Avene products and some actual relief! This moisturizer brought my dry parts back in line within two days! No irritation and adverse effects on the oily parts! Gentle and effective hydration is what this product delivered. My mom is in her early 90s and she’s a hardcore user of a different brand. I find it didn’t full moisturize her face leaving it looking papery with a dry fragile feel. I put this moisturizer on her and after one application her face looked better! After one week’s use, her skin no longer was papery, was more hydrated and felt normal to the touch. She actually prefers it over the other brand! Now that’s a testimonial!

The Best Moinsturizer

I've been using Avene for years and I love it. It is so hydrating. It has a lovely fragrance and feels so good on my skin. I use it year around and my skin is always soft.

Rich cream

This cream is nice and rich. It unfortunately caused my face to breakout, which is atypical for me with this line of skin care. That said, I have been using it as a hand cream -- albeit a pricey hand cream. It has worked wonders on my winter hands. It would be unfair to give it a poor review based off my silly sensitivity, which likely would not affect someone else. I will not buy again, but think it would be great for those without sensitivity.
