Avène Hyaluron Activ Procedure Micro-Lift Eye & Lip Cream 0.05% Retinal

Targeted retinal care for the eye and lip contours

Hyaluron Activ Procedure Micro-Lift Eye & Lip Cream belongs to Avène's Hyaluron Activ Procedure range, developed with aesthetic dermatologists to bring aesthetic-dermatology know-how into daily skincare. It is made for the most expressive, wrinkle-prone areas of the face — crow's feet, the eye contour and the lip contour. The precision cannula tip places the cream right on localised lines, so wrinkles and deep wrinkles look visibly filled and the contours look firmer.

Formula and texture

The formula is built on a trio of ingredients in concentrated form. Retinal at 0.05% — 3 times more active than retinol (external publication: J.H. Saurat et al., J Invest Dermatol 1994; biopsy study, 5 subjects, once a day for 4 days) — boosts epidermal renewal to correct the look of wrinkles. Pure hyaluronic acid hydrates and improves visible elasticity, and 2% niacinamide helps smooth the look of fine lines. The yellow colour of the cream comes from the retinal. Fragrance-free, vegan (no ingredients of animal origin) and 97% of natural origin. Made in France.

Key Ingredients

• Retinal 0.05% — the cosmetic form of vitamin A closest to retinoic acid; boosts epidermal renewal and corrects the appearance of wrinkles
• Sodium Hyaluronate — pure hyaluronic acid of natural origin that hydrates and enhances visible elasticity; in vitro, combined with retinal it increases epidermal hyaluronic acid versus retinal alone
• Niacinamide 2% — vitamin B3 that helps visibly reduce fine lines and strengthen the skin barrier
• Shea Butter & Squalane — nourishing lipids for comfort on delicate areas
