This sensitive skin super serum is here to change your beauty routine
The product
The French really know clean effortless beauty. So, it’s no surprise that the Avène Tolerance Control Intensive Skin Recovery Serum is becoming a game-changing beauty must have.
If you have sensitive skin, and/or suffer from redness, dryness or discomfort, this serum is the one for you. As most of Avène products are, the Avène Tolerance Control Intensive Skin Recovery Serum is formulated with their iconic thermal water (which helps to restore your skin's barrier). The non-greasy, quick absorbing serum is also powered with patented TRP-Regulin (which helps reduce discomfort) while pro-vitamin B5 deeply hydrates and protects your skin from irritation.
Here’s what our panel of Review Crew® testers had to say about the soothing, restorative super serum.
The panel
Beauty Crew sent the Avène Tolerance Control Intensive Skin Recovery Serum to a panel of women aged between 25-45 with sensitive, dry, red or irritated skin.
The lowdown
Here’s what the Review Crew® loved about the Avène Tolerance Control Intensive Skin Recovery Serum.
The way it instantly absorbed and calmed their skin: It’s not too often reviewers can all agree on serum absorption rates. However, the Avène Tolerance Control Intensive Skin Recovery Serum proved to be the exception, with reviewers all agreeing that the serum sunk into their skin instantly, calming their otherwise uncomfortable (dry) skin. And it creates a great base for makeup to sit on!
That it is sensitive skin-friendly: If you’ve got sensitive skin, you know the serum struggles, much like our panel of reviewers who all often avoid using active ingredients in fear of the reaction to their skin. Luckily, with the addition of this serum, they were able to slather away knowing that Avène is there to soothe their reactive complexions.
The reduction in their redness: Suffering from redness is just no one's idea of a good time. So to find a serum that works to reduce redness was a giant win for our trusty Review Crew®. This serum was building up their skin barrier and beating away flakey red skin one dropper at a time.
