Avène Tolérance Control Soothing Skin Recovery Cream

Product Information

All in all, I think this is a decent product but personally recommend the Avene Extreme Tolerance Emulsion over this. It has all the same beneficial ingredients MINUS the preservatives and esters, which could prove problematic to those with fungal sensitives, or hyper-sensitive skin. A clinical study with 92 patients found that thermal spring water completely cleared up psoriasis in 8% of patients, and marginal improvement (about 50%) was seen in 48% of participants. ( 4) In case you don’t know what psoriasis looks like, here’s an old photo of mine. Iv been using this cream for a week along side my tretinoin and my skin has remain calm, there's no irritation, no redness and most importantly it doesn't clog my pores!

The face cream featured here is targeted at people with sensitive complexions and is applied to the face and décolletage. This product is designed to produce a balancing, a soothing and lipid-restoring effect and is engineered to treat rosacea, irritation, and dryness. Ingredients The pros of mineral oilcan be interpreted as cons if we look at them from another perspective. Not penetrating the skin but mostly just sitting on top of it and not containing biologically active components, like nice fatty acids and vitamins meanthat mineral oil does not "nourish" the skin in the way plant oils do. Mineral oil doesnot give the skin any extra goodness, it is simply a non-irritating moisturizer working mainly by occlusivity. It is a great emollient and moisturizer working mainly by occlusivity.Occlusivity is one of the basic mechanisms of how moisturizers work and it means that mineral oilsits on top of the skin and hinders so-called trans-epidermal water loss, i.e water evaporating out of your skin. When compared to heavy-duty plant oil, extra virgin coconut oil, the two of them were equally efficient and safe as moisturizers in treating xerosis, a skin condition connected to very dry skin.

I’m not here to bad mouth companies that go to the extent of testing their ingredients. In my opinion, their effort at least deserves some credit and is preferable to the companies and brands that try to sell expensive polished turds. Trust us, if something is used for more than 100 years in cosmeticproducts, it hasadvantages. Chemically speaking, cosmetic grade mineral oil is a complex mixture ofhighly refined saturated hydrocarbons with C15-50 chain length.It is not merely a "by-product" but rather a specifically isolated part of petroleum that is very pure and inert. An 84 day randomized, controlled clinical trial involving 74 patients, 40 of whom used thermal spring water, found that it reduced erythema (redness), itching, skin tightness, and stinging after a laser resurfacing procedure.

Hopefully you found this review helpful! And I’m sorry if I made you less excited about trying this product. :/

Sensitive scale, 25 subjects, results observed immediately after application of Tolérance Control Cream.Recently I started using tretinoin and began the tretinoin purge, which causes your skin to become hypersensitive, skin peeling, redness and acne. I have alot of different creams and everyone of them was irritating my skin, clogging my pores more and giving me burning sensation. The face cream, Skin Recovery Cream, is developed by Avène. Face cream is one product that few people can do without. Not only does it keep skin supple and smooth, it is also a preventative measure against pre-mature ageing and environmental damage. Area of Use Avene Thermal Spring Water, Mineral Oil, Glycerin, Glyceryl Stearate, Squalane, Cyclopentasiloxane, Clycohexasiloxane, Serine, Carbomer, Tetrasodium EDTA, Triethanolamine.

One of my all-time favorite oils! This has a lovely texture, does a FANTASTIC job of hydrating the skin, and is an ordinary part of human sebum or the oil that our skin produces naturally. It claimed to soothe your skin in 30 seconds. I can honestly say this statement is very true. My skin settled, my redness started to calm down and I had no irritation. Just a very basic formula with a few beneficial ingredients including thermal spring water, mineral oil, glycerin, and squalene.

My inscription

While it is true that industrial grade mineral oil contains carcinogenic components (so-calledpolycyclic compounds), these are completely removed from cosmetic and food grade mineral oil and there is no scientific data showing that the pure, cosmetic grade version is carcinogenic. Before I summarize the research on this ingredient, just remember that a lot of these studies were funded by Avene or similar skincare companies that use thermal spring water in their formulas. Whether you think that creates a conflict of interest is up to you. I have written an extensive guide about how to treat these conditions as well as explain why esters should be avoided. Link here for those interested. Point being, the glyceryl stearate in this formula won’t be suitable for all skin types. Secondly, the Avene Skin Recovery Cream contains preservatives. This isn’t a bad thing! In fact, cosmetics SHOULD have preservatives to ensure user safety and prevent bacterial overgrowth. However, there is documentation showing they may cause irritation to hyper-sensitive skin. Minimum number of ingredients selected for their gentleness – 98% of ingredients from natural origin
