I have rosacea and sometimes cream moisturizers can feel a little heavy on the skin and cause red flushing which is exactly what happened to me when using this cream. It felt nice and soothing at first but didn't sink into the skin and felt suffocating. I won't be purchasing again.

I want to love this, but I cannot get over the slick texture that feels like rubbing oil on water. It takes some work - and time - to get it properly applied. The ingredients are fantastic. I prefer … more

I want to love this, but I cannot get over the slick texture that feels like rubbing oil on water. It takes some work - and time - to get it properly applied. The ingredients are fantastic. I prefer a product that absorbs better.

This was recommended by a dermatologist so I got it and was pleased with how moisturized and soothing this is for my sensitive rosacea prone skin. Definitely recommend to anyone with sensitive skin. … more

The line of Avene products do not work well for my sensitive skin and I had to give all to my daughter. I would actually break out in patches and itch. … more

I did see that this had fragrance before I ordered it; however, I assumed it'd be subtle in a product that's specifically for compromised, irritated skin. Unfortunately, this has a strong, floral scent. This is the last thing I'd want to put on tretinoin skin. I downgraded this to a body lotion, and I don't even like it for my body. It's fairly lightweight, somewhat greasy, and the scent doesn't dissipate. I adore Avene, but I'll be sticking with their Xeracalm Balm (thick, sinks in, super soothing).

I ordered this cream as soon as LovelySkin introduced it to their Avene product list. I was looking for Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide in a product for my mature and sensitive skin. This product has both and it plumps the face with a youthful look. There is a mild firming action from the niacinamide as well. I use it under foundation and it works beautifully. I gave this cream a 4 star because of the fragrance; for me it's a bit intense....very floral. However, the scent does not last long after the cream is applied to my face. I am pleased with this product and the more you use it, the more results you will see.

I saw great reviews on this balm. It is moisturizing but my skin needs more. I would like it to glide on better. … more

I discovered this moisturizer as it was recommended by a dermatologist for restoring the skin barrier. I have very sensitive, mature, and combination skin It gets extremely dry and flakey when I use retinol/retinoids, as well as in the winter cold. This is gentle, and overall, it feels good on. It does not clog pores, or cause breakouts, and does not interfere with the application of other skin care products and/or makeup layered on top. As many others mentioned, the scent is pleasant, but a bit strong upon application. The fragrance is, however, unnoticeable in just a short period of time following the initial application. Depending upon how dry or irritated my skin is (very sore nose and underneath the nose area during allergy season) it can slightly sting a bit and I believe that may be due to whatever is used for the fragrance. It is a very effective moisturizer, and when I faithfully apply it before the retionoid/retinol treatment, I don't experience the dryness.
