A light daily moisturiser with built-in sun protection for sensitive skin
Avène Hydrance UV Light Hydrating Emulsion SPF30 is a daily moisturiser for normal to combination sensitive skin that feels dehydrated. It pairs lasting hydration with SPF30 protection against UVA and UVB, so one step covers both moisture and everyday sun protection. Avène Thermal Spring Water soothes and softens sensitive skin, glycerin draws water into the upper layers, and phytosterols help keep the skin comfortable. The light, fluid emulsion is non-greasy and leaves the skin supple and fresh all day.
The texture
A fluid, non-greasy emulsion that spreads easily and sinks in quickly, leaving a fresh, comfortable feel that sits well under make-up. It is lighter than the Hydrance UV Rich cream, which suits drier skin better.
Who it suits
- Normal to combination skin that is sensitive and dehydrated
- Anyone who wants hydration and daily SPF in one step
- City days with incidental sun exposure
- Those who find rich creams too heavy
Worth knowing before you buy: it contains fragrance and a nano UV filter (methylene bis-benzotriazolyl tetramethylbutylphenol). SPF30 is meant for daily urban exposure. For a beach day or long hours outdoors, use a dedicated SPF50+ sunscreen.
How long one tube lasts
Used every morning on the face and neck, the 40ml tube lasts about six to eight weeks.
