The classic French cold cream for skin that cold weather dries out
Avène Cold Cream Nourishing Cream is a rich cream that protects very dry and sensitive skin from cold and other external aggressors. It combines the traditional cold cream formula with beeswax and mineral oil, which nourish and form a protective barrier, and Avène Thermal Spring Water, which soothes. Suitable for babies, children and adults, it is often used on face and body in winter, or when skin is dried out by treatments.
The texture
A thick, white cream that melts on contact with the skin and leaves a slightly rich, protective feel. A little goes a long way. It has a light, clean scent.
Who it suits
- Very dry, rough or flaky skin on face and body
- Cheeks and hands exposed to cold and wind
- Babies, children and adults in the same family
- Skin dried out by harsh weather or treatments
Worth knowing before you buy: the formula contains fragrance and mineral oil, and it feels rich. On oily or acne-prone skin it can be too heavy for daily face use.
