Avène Hyaluron Activ B3 Multi-Intensive Night Cream

An overnight retinal cream for renewed-looking skin

Hyaluron Activ B3 Multi-Intensive Night Cream is the night step of Avène's Senescence Science range for the visible signs of skin ageing. It brings together retinal, pure hyaluronic acid, haritaki extract and niacinamide in one cocooning cream: on waking the skin feels smoother, and over the following weeks it looks firmer, with wrinkles visibly reduced. Its slightly orange colour comes from the retinal itself.

Formula and texture

Retinal (retinaldehyde) is the direct precursor of retinoic acid and a leading anti-ageing ingredient that boosts epidermal renewal. Here it works alongside hyaluronic acid for hydration and suppleness and niacinamide (vitamin B3), which supports the skin. Shea butter, squalane and safflower seed oil give a soft, cocooning yet non-greasy and non-comedogenic texture that suits all skin types, including combination skin. The formula contains 97% ingredients of natural origin, none of animal origin, and comes in a practical, hygienic pump jar. Made in France.
