Avene Skin Recovery Cream Moisturizer 50 Ml, Pack Of 1

Very nice

I purchased this product out of sheer desperation. As soon as I turned 31, I began to struggle with adult (hormonal) acne, mostly around my jawline and the center of my cheeks. I had never had acne like this before and I tried everything. I spent so much money on "miracle" acne cures. What a waste. I ended up at the dermatologist who prescribed me Tazorac cream and Aczone gel. This combo tore my face up. I could not use any product/moisturizer/sunscreen/cleanser that had even a little but of alcohol, or my skin would burn like fire. Using topical RX acne products sent my skin into what I call, hypersensitivity mode. However, there was no other way to combat the acne, that I could find so, I persisted. At this point I could use a mild cleaner (I used cetaphil or vanicream) and for moisturizer, I couldn't find anything that wouldn't burn, so I just doused my face with water as much as I could. For anyone who has ever gone through the tretinoin or retin-a adjustment phase, then you know how important a good moisturizer is. I came across the suggestion for Avene Skin Recovery Cream in an online blog that described how to get through the retin-a purge/dry/peeling/holy cow skin is going crazy phase. I decided to try it since I had already tried everything else. The first time I applied it to my poor acne med ravaged face, it felt like heaven. I will never forget how good it felt to have something truly moisturizing that didn't burn my skin.My only issue with the Skin Recovery Cream is how much it costs for such a little tube. I go through one tube a month, especially during the winter. I can sometimes stretch it to a month and a half. I really wish Avene would make a larger tube for a lower price. I would happily pay $35 dollars for this if the tube would last just a little longer. I have searched and searched for a similar, less expensive product and it just doesn't exist. I always come back to this product. It is very thick, so I only use a small amount. I find that it actually absorbs better if I apply it while my skin is still a little wet, and it feels good to massage it into my face. Once I put it on, I usually let it soak in for about 5 minutes before I put on my make up. This is hands down the best face lotion to use if you are getting used to prescription strength Retin-a or tretinoin.My current routine consists of Glyderm Gentle Facial Cleanser, RX of Retin-a 0.5%, and Avene Skin Recovery Cream. That's it. Sometimes in life, less is truly more.

ليس مثل المتوقع

Extremely smooth and light feeling and leave the skin supple, fresh and NOT GREASY AT ALL! lovely cream, can be used by day or night, can be layered over/under other cream and don't peel like others. I will never go back to anything else, it's the love of my life :)

I genuinely love this product. Was reluctant about it as I suffer from dermatitis, eccema and rosacea and I have tried soooo many brands (korean, european, USA..) with no positive results I was getting desperated to find something to stop the dryness and itchiness while not clogging my pores and I finally found it.I use it after tretinoin too - which I never thought I could use - and honestly I'm not looking back to any other moisturiser. My redness and dryness are gone, it doesn't break me out and my acne is finally disappearing.The dispenser is a bit tricky but if you squeeze it gently you don't end up wasting the product and the cream is not sticky and absorbs fast.Every skin is different but I would give it a try because the ingredients are so simple that if you suffer from a hyperreactive skin like mine is difficult to go wrong with it.I haven't finished the tube and I have already order more to stock as they have it on sale.

Esta crema empecé a usarla a principios del Covid. Se me irritaban mucho los pómulos, mejillas... Me salía algún granito...Tube que reemplazar mi crema normal por esta. Es un poco cara pero mano de santo. Quito los granos y la irritación y solo me sale alguna rojez de vez en cuando si llevo muchas horas la mascarilla.Te deja súper hidratada la piel para después maquillarte
