A fresh cream-in-gel that hydrates, soothes and protects in one step
Avène Hydrance Aqua-Gel is an all-in-one hydrating cream-in-gel for dehydrated, sensitive skin, from normal to combination. It works as a serum, a moisturiser and an overnight mask in one jar. Avène Thermal Spring Water soothes and softens, while hyaluronic acid, glycerin and betaine draw water into the skin and keep it there, and a dextran sulfate-based active helps protect it from environmental stress. The skin feels fresh, supple and comfortable all day, and looks plumper and more radiant.
The texture
A bouncy, water-rich gel-cream that melts into the skin with a fresh feeling and no sticky or greasy after-feel. It sits well under makeup and sunscreen.
Who it suits
- Dehydrated skin that feels tight and looks dull
- Sensitive normal to combination skin
- Anyone who wants a single hydrating step in the morning
- A quick overnight mask after a long flight or a day in the sun
Worth knowing before you buy: It contains fragrance. Very dry skin may need something richer, such as Hydrance Rich.
How long one jar lasts
Used morning and evening on the face, the 50ml jar lasts about 6 to 8 weeks.
