I use this moisturizer every day and Avene's Eluage cream every night. I've tried just about everything over the years for my sensitive and aging (I'm in my 50s) skin - expensive beauty counter creams, drugstore brands and even dermatologist prescriptions. Since I've had melanoma, an SPF higher than 15 is important as well, and most sunscreens make my skin break out. This combination is wonderful - my skin looks and feels younger, break-outs are non-existent and I'm protecting my face from future damage.

I have used other Avene products and thought them quite good but I did not care for this moisturizer. Too thick and goey and it did not absorb easily. For the same money I like the Aqua Thrmalia line by Vichy but drugstore.com doesn't sell it!
I like the feel of this moisturizer but one thing that really irritates me is that I can't wear makeup over it. When I do, a residue comes up as I buff my makeup into place...it's horrible and twice I've had to start my makeup all over again.
I discovered this brand when I was in France this summer, and absolutely love it. I have super sensitive combination acne prone skin, and this product works so well, plus it has SPF in it. Its a bit mroe than I'd like to spend, but it is 100% worth it!
This product is pretty good. I tried it because their moisture mask made me want to try everything Avene. Mostly I like this one because it's spf 25 instead of spf 15. It doesn't seem to irritate my skin. Also it doesn't irritate my eyes--some spf products irritate my eyes even when I avoid my eye area. It is a little bit thick but not really greasy. It moisturizes but my skin still seems a little thirsty. Only 4 and not 5 stars because it looks a little white on my skin. (I have dry skin that gets oily at the T-zone--still dry though--and breaks out in the T-zone. Not really sensitive skin but my eyes get sensitive.)
I have tried non-expensive and expensive products on my face without success. AVENE is AWESOME!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND to those who have problems with sensitive skin. Nothing works like it period!
I use this product daily. It is very efficient to protect from sunburn and is well-adjusted to acne prone skin. Good moisturizer, leaves no white streaks and light.
