A water-light serum that tops up hydration for 48 hours
Avène Hydrance Intense Rehydrating Serum is a concentrated hydrating serum for dehydrated skin, including sensitive skin. Sodium hyaluronate draws water into the surface layers, while niacinamide (vitamin B3) supports the skin barrier so that moisture stays in. Avène Thermal Spring Water soothes. Skin looks smoother and fresher, with hydration lasting up to 48 hours.
The texture
An ultra-light water-gel that spreads in a few drops and leaves no sticky or greasy film. It layers easily under any moisturizer.
Who it suits
- Dehydrated skin that feels tight
- All skin types, including sensitive
- Anyone who wants a hydration step before cream
- Skin that looks dull after cold weather or travel
Worth knowing before you buy: The formula contains fragrance. For very dry skin, follow it with a richer cream such as Hydrance Rich.
How long one bottle lasts
Used morning and evening with 3 to 4 drops, the 30ml bottle lasts about six to eight weeks.
