I have used over 10 products from Avene, most of them are very good value for money. Except their moisture mask & serum, these are too heavy for my acne-prone skin, and I got pimples after using.
Now I use "Tolerance Extreme Cream"
It is a small 5ml tube that is meant to use for 3 days only, after opening. They claim sterilized packaging and no preservatives.
The fact is after using about 10 tubes, my acne problem (been there for years) has gone and skin become moisturized. Now, I can use the stronger cream from other brands, with no worries on pimples.
