Avene Tolerance Control Soothing Skin Recovery Cream.

"This one's just a little bit thicker. It instantly soothes any stinging, tightness, and heat that's associated with any sort of barrier disruption. So, if your barrier is very, very compromised, this one's probably a little bit better option. The Avène helps rebuild a weakened skin barrier, which is often seen during these hormonal shifts, and it will do that in as little as 48 hours. It will also support that skin microbiome which plays a bigger role in skin health especially after your 40s. The key ingredient here is the Avensos. It's a postbiotic ingredient that calms that super sensitive skin by targeting the sensory nerve endings as well as the Avène thermal spring water. It has some squalane, shea butter and other soothing ingredients to keep that barrier intact throughout the day."

"This is the Avène Tolerance Control Soothing Skin Recovery Cream. It's really nice and creamy, hydrating, but not nasty, not shiny, not sticky, not heavy. This comes in two different formulations, one for reactive skin and one for extra dry reactive skin. The texture is creamy but very nourishing and hydrating, not overly burdensome and not super heavy. I love it because Avène is a great line for those with sensitive, eczema-prone, rosacea-prone skin. I also love it for the fact that it has two different formulations depending on what your skin needs. And this bottle doesn't have any preservatives. They formulate it without preservatives, which I think is an extra bonus if you have sensitive skin, since you could potentially be just extra sensitive or become easily irritated by preservatives. This is great for combination, dry, or normal-dry skin. It can be a great option for oily combination skin too, depending on the season, especially if you use it at night."
