Avène Tolerance Control Soothing Skin Recovery Cream, for Hypersensitive Dry Skin, Restores Skin Barrier, Calms sensations of skin discomfort, Sterile Pump, Face Moisturizer, Fragrance-Free 1.3 Fl Oz

This moisturizer is so underrated. My skin feels instantly soft, calm, and hydrated after using it. It doesn’t feel heavy or greasy at all — just super soothing, especially when my skin feels irritated or sensitive. I’ve tried many other moisturizers and they would clog my pores or pill with makeup, but this leaves my face feeling fresh and bouncy, and it layers really well with the rest of my routine. Love that it has no scent too.

As someone with rosacea (type 1) and very sensitive, dry skin, what I like most about this moisturizer is what's NOT in it. I want moisturizer that simply moisturizes my skin, without any fancy add-ons that my skin can't tolerate. I've been amazed at how hard it is to find an effective moisturizer that's not stuffed with fragrance, essential oils, botanical extracts, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and other ingredients my skin can't tolerate. Enter this little gem. It makes my skin feel so soft and smoothe, but without any irritating ingredients. Yes, it is a bit pricey for the amount, but worth it for me and they have sales frequently. I will say that it is not quite moisturizing enough on its own for my dry skin (I know they have a balm version, but it has shea butter and that makes my skin break out if I use too much of it), so I layer an occlusive sunscreen on top of it in the AM, and I use their barrier cream (Cicafalte) on top in the PM, and it's perfect. Since this product has such a simple ingredient list, it's also great to use with actives (I currently have a prescription rosacea cream that includes azelaic acid). I will definitely be ordering more of this in the future!

I have very sensitive skin. This lotion is amazing. A must for anyone that wants to maintain moisture without all the added harmful fragrance and chemicals

Love this product! I recently developed ocular rosacea and this cream was first one I found to actually help sooth my skin. The bottle is a bit pricey, but it really goes a long way and the results were worth it!

very nice on my sensitive skin, no irritation. i just wish it wasn’t so expensive

I love this face cream it actually works as intended, calms my skin very moisturizing.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Love this moisturizer!! I have extremely sensitive , dry skin. This does not irritate my skin, it works awesome with my makeup, it helps my skin.!💟

My dermatologist recommended this cream and it is amazing. I am in my 50s with very dry skin and this is helping me tremendously. She also told me that it doesn’t have many harmful preservatives that can aggravate my rosacea. I love it.
