Cools, soothes and rehydrates skin after a day in the sun
Avène After-Sun Repair Lotion is a soothing after-sun milk for the face and body, made for sensitive skin that has been exposed to the sun. Avène Thermal Spring Water is the first ingredient, bringing its well-known soothing and softening effect to skin that feels hot and tight. Glycyrrhetinic acid, from licorice, helps calm the feeling of heat, while jojoba oil and glycerin replenish moisture lost during the day. A vitamin E derivative adds antioxidant care. Skin feels fresh and comfortable straight away.
The texture
A light, creamy milk that spreads over large areas with little effort and sinks in quickly. It gives an immediate feeling of freshness without leaving a greasy film, so you can dress soon after.
Who it suits
- Sensitive skin after a day at the beach or outdoors
- Face and body, for adults and children
- Skin that feels hot, tight or dry after sun
- Daily use during a sunny holiday
Worth knowing before you buy: this is an after-sun care, not a treatment for real sunburn. It contains fragrance. Red, blistered skin needs more than a moisturiser, and sunscreen is still the first line of defence the next day.
Which size to choose
The 200ml bottle suits a weekend or one person on a short trip. The 400ml bottle is better for families or a two-week summer holiday with daily use.
