A sterile, ultra-calming balm for skin that reacts to almost everything
Avène Tolérance Control Soothing Skin Recovery Balm is an ultra-calming treatment for dry to very dry skin that is hypersensitive, intolerant, reactive or allergic. Its key active, the postbiotic D-Sensinose, relieves burning, stinging and tightness in 30 seconds and helps control skin reactivity over a month. Shea butter and squalane nourish and repair the barrier in 48 hours. Made with a sterile process in patented packaging, it needs no preservatives or fragrance.
The texture
A rich, cushiony balm that melts into dry skin and leaves it comfortable for hours without a greasy film. It can be applied to the eye contour.
Who it suits
- Dry to very dry, hypersensitive or intolerant skin
- Skin that stings or burns with most creams
- Skin weakened by dermatological or oncology treatments
- Adults and children from 2 years
Worth knowing before you buy: It contains beeswax, so it is not vegan. For normal to combination reactive skin, the lighter Tolérance Control Soothing Repairing Cream is a better fit.
