  2. Perfect

    KM

    I have eczema and very dry skin so often worry that a moisturiser won’t cut it, however this product works really well. It melts into the skin and isn’t heavy, but can also be layered if you feel like you need a bit more. Highly recommended!
  3. So calming and hydrating, one of the best face cream ever!

    So calming and hydrating

    This is one of the most amazing face cream! It is so so gentle and soothing and great for sensitive skin. It is light and not to thick. I really rate avene products and the packaging is also great.
  4. Nice soothing cream

    Matilda

    Nice soothing cream great for recovering
  5. Great soothing cream

    DoraD

    My skin gets super sensitive after a wash and with the wrong products. This cream was great - nice and soothing, no irritation. A lovely cream for every day use that won't let you down and aggravate the skin. I was gifted this products to tria and review.
  6. The best moisturiser!!!

    gabi17

    Absolutely adore this product. I have sensitive and eczema prone skin and this is not irritating at all. There is very little scent, and it absorbs well into the skin. I find this settles any acne and redness that I have as well. Love love love! (This product was gifted for review)
  7. Luxury cream, great for travelling

    Suzy

    This is a truly luxe, beautiful cream and I especially love it when travelling. I use it every night as a rich and comforting night cream and I absolutely love pressing it into my face at the start of a long flight to counteract the dehydrating effects of air-conditioning. I was gifted a sample for review, however I have purchased this product also.
  8. A great product!

    Ashleigh

    I have used this product now for 3 weeks and have noticed a difference in the feel and texture of my face. It has hydrated, smoothed and leaves my skin feeling fresh without feeling too heavy or like a thick film over it. A small amount goes a long way and it's an easy staple to put in your everyday routine. I was gifted a product sample to trial and review.
  9. Simply soothes

    AngiB

    I'm someone who like to keep skincare simple and due to this my skin is quite sensitive to harsh products. I was thrilled to have the chance to trial the Soothing Skin recovery cream. I was WOWED too, it does exactly what it claims to, soothes. But even better it also helps my dry skin to feel hydrated and look smoother. You only need a small amount of product so you wont be left with a heavy resi...

    I'm a big fan of Avene products and this soothing skin recovery cream didn't disappoint. I have fairly sensitive skin and this cream was perfect for me.

It leaves my skin feeling soft, supple and light, with no yucky leftover film like I have noticed with other products in the past. I was gifted a...

  11. Soothing

    AnitaM123

    I have used this for the past two weeks and love how soothing this has been on my skin. I love how easily this spreads, the package size will see it last quite a while which is great value for money. Avene delivers on their promise with this cream. It not only settled my skin breakouts but it has helped soothe and heal the breakouts I already had when starting to use it.
  12. Instant hydration!

    CandyFairy

    I have noticed my skin becoming drier as I am getting older and I have been in need of a cream like this one that gives my skin an instant hydration hit without the heavy, greasy feeling. This cream feels very soothing to the skin and I love to apply this daily under makeup. I could see and feel the difference instantly once I applied this product. I also love that this is safe to use from age 2 a...

    This is a dry gals DREAM cream! I have only been using this cream for 2 weeks but I have been loving it and will definitely be repurchasing this. The consistency is rich and thick and the packaging is very user-friendly. No fragrance whatsoever and does not react with my sensitive/fair skin. Absolutely love. I was gifted a product sample to trial and review.
  14. Love it

    LorenW

    Such a beautiful cream which hydrates and nourishes my skin. It keeps your skin feeling hydrated all day and has soothed my dry sensitive skin. I tend to like to use it as a mask at night, so it gives my skin ample time to soak it all in. Highly recommend!
  15. Gentle and soothing

    Nebauerh

    This product was soothing and gentle on my skin. I have sensitive skin that reacts often to products and cleansers. I found the consistency was great and it didn't linger on my skin. I would definitely recommend this product. I was gifted this product to trial and review.
  16. Soothing and great on the skin

    Leah P

    I love Avene for daily use, but I particularly love the brand when my skin has had a bit of a freak out, and is in need of some loving, tender care. I love how soothing the lotion is, and how it does seem to help reduce inflammation and irritation, while also serving as a way to hydrate my face. A seriously decent recovery cream, this newbie from Avene is definitely one you should add to cart. I w...

    LouisaE

    The Tolerance Soothing Cream is an absolute lifesaver for anyone with hypersensitive and intolerant skin. As someone who has struggled with skin irritation for years, I was skeptical when I first heard about this product. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it truly delivers on its promises. The cream is specifically developed to soothe even the most reactive skin in just 30 seconds....

    gjbj

    With dry skin that's also sensitive, i love finding products that are super nourishing that don't leave my skin irritated or prone to break outs.

  23. A fav of Avene's!

    Nikita20

    Another big tick on the Avene product list! And something I will be ensuring is always with me. Having sensitive skin that often is cracked and at times really itchy and peeling, requires me to have a really strong product that can hydrate, moisturize and be a instant relief from the itch. Tolerance CONTROL helps me to be able to do everything I would have wanted in a almost barrier like cream wh...

  27. So in love with this cream

    Mumma Jojo

    I was very skeptical that this cream would actually be ok for my allergy prone skin. I decided to give it a go anyways. I am thrilled to report that I have had no burning, no itching and no irritation at all. Instead I have skin that feels nourished and fresh all day. I could not be happier. I am so grateful to have found a product that is right for my skin.

    I have been using this Control Recovery Skin cream in the past 2 weeks and have been pleasantly surprised. I carry in my bag and re-apply in the afternoon if my skin has any reactions to weather and circumstances.

  30. Soothing for red and sensitive skin

    Monique V

    I really like this soothing recovery cream and I apply it nightly on my face and neck. Definitely more of a night cream in my opinion and great for stacking with other products. My face gets red and sensitive from the wind and this has helped manage some dry patches I was experiencing. It also feels nice and is easy to apply. I was gifted a product sample to trial and review.
  31. Amazing cream

    Jenna H

    I have been using this cream for about two weeks and the difference in my skin is amazing. I always struggled with redness and this have improved incredibly. My skin looks all rounded better and smother, no more dry patches. I will definitely continue to use as part of my skin care routine. I was gifted a product sample to trial and review

  35. Thick and ultra-calming moisturiser

    JuicyJ

    I think I have used the Avene Tolerance CONTROL Soothing Skin Recovery Cream once before and liked it. The cream is scent-free and is dispensed by pressing the pump in which the packaging allows the cream to be stood upright. The cream feels thick and very moisturising on my face. I love that it's great at calming redness as I used a peel-off mask a few weeks ago and that mask left my face red a...

  38. Not for me

    amelia11

    I like the scent and the packaging of this product. It applies easily and the nozzle means not too much comes out in one go. However, I did feel that this didn't have a great deal recovery benefit. I felt it sat on my skin quite heavily and didn't adsorb easily. I was gifted a product sample to trial and review.
  39. Next level good!

    Fefa.hp

    This product feels like a dream! Use it and i can guarantee your skin will feel like a totally new skin! Its really refreshing and you can notice the change in your skin quiet quickly. Specially for those who are using strong products for acne this can be a good solution to hydrate your skin and calm it when is red. I was gifted this product to review and love it
  40. Definitely a magic potion!!

    Soleil

    This came at the most opportune time to trial. My skin was being a little witchy - random little breakouts around my lips, under my nose. It felt a little bit red, prickly and uncomfortable. It was like the beauty gods heard my cries for comfort when this arrived! Within 2 days and nights of use, NO LIES, ONLY TWO DAYS! My skin had settled down. It was like magic.

  41. Smoother skin

    Jan95

    My skin is super sensitive. I get anxious trying new things as if I apply something too harsh, I get rashes. This product is perfect. No bad chemical reactions when applying, no negative aftermath. When applying to skin you can feel how soothing it is, leaving your skin feeling refreshened and happier. I highly recommend. I was gifted a product sample to trial and review and glad to say it worked.
  42. Very good recovery cream

    Mai

    Very good recovery cream my skin enjoys using it
  43. Great skin recovery cream

    Kaitlin

    Recovers the skin well, soothes it and calms the process of healing
  44. Great for congested skin.

    Jess

    This is a very good moisturiser. I found it absorbed so quickly and hydrated my skin. No fragrance or greasy feel. Minimal ingredients and did not cause any breakouts. Worked well on top of my other serums.
  45. Nourshing Cream

    K

    I got this cream from sample. It's moisturing and good for sensitive skin.
  46. Soft texture

    Tarma

    I got a sample of this cream recently. Im usually not impressed with Avene but this is a nice moisturizer with a nice texture. Will buy the full size
  47. A sad replacement for the OG

    LM

    Avene recently reformulated their original Skin Recovery cream and, tragically, have left us with this. I have incredibly sensitive rosacea-prone skin, and rather original formula was amazing. This new formula broke me out in one day, and I confirmed it was the culprit with repeated use. It's also thinner and seems less moisturizing than its predecessor. Wish me luck trying to find something new.
  48. Best for Dehydrated Skin

    Jude

    Such a lovely heavy cream for super dehydrated skin, soothing and snacks in really well.
  49. Moisturising, but heavy

    Lulu

    I really like Avene but this product wasn't light enough on my combo sensitive skin. If I only use it once at night, and not every day, it seems to be moisturising for my dry/damaged areas. After only using this to moisturise for two days in a row, my pores were overloaded and my nose was super clogged. Love the minimal ingredients but I can't use it as often as I hoped.
  50. Incredibly moisturising

    Kylie

    I received a sample of this with a recent order and my skin loved it. It added oodles of much needed moisture and felt very soothing on my skin. This would be a perfect moisturiser for those with sensitive skin.

    I received this product as part of a promotion and this product is very gentle for those that have very sensitive and irritable skin. I noticed the formula is fragrance-free and rightly so since fragrance can cause irritation for those with sensitive skin. The cream glides on nicely and absorbs quickly. Doesn't feel thick and sticky. I found it goes nicely underneath a SPF moisturiser or tinted mo...

  60. Easy to use for adults and kids - takes away the redness of skin

    Livvy

    I have been using this product for over a week now and already I am seeing GREAT results of how my skin is looking overall. Usually I would get patches of red skin or irritations from time to time - but with this new recovery cream I have been using everyday on my face, I have noted a better and less red complexion in my skin. It's very SOOTHING and calming which is great for anyone out there.
  61. Wish I discovered this recovery cream sooner!

    Livvy

    I wish I discovered this Recovery Cream sooner for my skin. I love how it's perfect for my skin and doesn't leave it feeling irritated. I would apply this onto my skin for daily wear - I have noted it reduces any signs of redness and discomfort which is ideal for sensitive skin like myself. Plus it's very versatile you can use this product on both kids and adults too.
  62. Awesome product

    Tatty

    My skin has recently became quite sensitive and this product is perfect. Super mild, and soothing. A little goes a LOOOOONG way. the first time I used it I used 2 pumps and it was way to much product, so now I only need 1 pump and it is enough for my entire face! Absorbs very quickly and is not oily or heavy at all. Definitely recommend.
  63. perfect compliment to an active skincare routine

    Sam - Adore Beauty staff

    I have sensitive skin, but I love using strong active skincare like AHA and retinol. Whenever I use those types of serums I need a moisturiser that is very gentle and hydrating. This new moisture from Avene is perfect for that. It's calming and hydrating and not too heavy, and it allows me to keep using strong serums. What's not to love!
  64. Good recovery cream

    Aball

    I received this project as a sample and have enjoyed using it. it leaves my skin feeling really moisturised and smooth which is great. It is quite a heavy cream 9heavier than I would normally use) so I didn't lather it on. My favourite feature is the pump bottle, feels incredibly sterile and so much better than a normal bottle or pot of cream.
