I've always loved Avène for their soothing skincare that manages to make my skin look so much better - even after one use. The Soothing Moisture Mask, specifically, has been mentioned on my site many times. When I saw their Hydrance Aqua Cream-In-Gel released earlier this summer, I knew I had to try it out. As I grow older, I realize that my sensitive, combo skin sometimes just needs a drink of water and a blanket of redness-reducing moisturizer before bed. No acids, no charcoal, no fuss. Here's how the two products compare, as I use them both as a before-bed restorative mask.
AVÈNE HYDRANCE AQUA CREAM-IN-GEL 50ml
"An all-in-one care inspired by Asian galenics, formulated in Japan and made in France. Its very fresh aqua-gel texture leaves a delicate water-veil sensation."
I have to admit that it wasn't love at first swipe with this gelly cream product. I found it to be a bit sticky, and it didn't soak in as seamlessly as my Moisture Mask. After continued use, it is growing on me. I like that it comes with a spatula, though jar packaging is proven to be very unhygienic. This is a good option for oily or combination-skin people since it isn't too heavy. I like that is is marketed to be multi-functional, layering under makeup just as well as it layers as a final nighttime step. Not my ride-or-die, but a fun new release that's worth a shot.
AVÈNE THERMAL SPRING WATER SPRAY
"Avène Thermal Spring Water is captured directly at its source and bottled in a sterile environment, ensuring that all its soothing and softening properties are preserved."
AVÈNE SOOTHING MOISTURE MASK 50ml
"A true moisture bath, leaves your skin refreshed and glowing. Paraben-free."
As mentioned, this Moisture Mask remains as one of my favourite skincare products ever. It smells almost like classic Nivea cream, and has the most milky, refreshing and calming texture. A gentle cream that soaks right in to heal and protect the skin, you will adore this. Guaranteed. I also like all of the basic day creams from the brand, which can be found in formulas for both combination and dry skins.
