A water-fresh gel-cream for skin that wants moisture without weight
Avène Hydrance Aqua Gel-Cream is a light moisturising gel-cream for normal to combination sensitive skin that feels tight or dull. It belongs to Avène's Hydrance range, which is built on Avène Thermal Spring Water and a hydrating complex meant to keep the skin supple through the day. The 50ml tube fits a handbag.
The texture
A fresh, watery gel-cream that spreads easily and leaves a soft, non-greasy finish. It works well under make-up or sunscreen because it does not roll or leave a film, which is the point of an aqua formula. Combination skin usually likes it in the morning, and drier skin can layer it at night.
Who it suits
- Combination or normal skin that gets thirsty by mid-afternoon
- Sensitive skin looking for a simple daily moisturiser
- People who dislike rich creams and want a fresh feel
- Anyone wearing make-up who needs a smooth base
Worth knowing before you buy: The aqua texture is light on purpose. Very dry or mature skin may need a richer cream on top, or the Hydrance Rich version from the same range.
