Avène Tolérance Control Soothing Skin Recovery Balm

Rich comfort for dry, hypersensitive skin

Tolérance Control Soothing Skin Recovery Balm is the rich, high-tolerance moisturiser of Avène's Tolérance Control range, particularly recommended for dry to very dry skin that is hypersensitive, reactive, intolerant or allergy-prone. It quickly calms sensations of tightness, tingling and discomfort, leaves the skin intensely moisturised, helps restore its barrier and keeps hyper-reactivity under control over time. It can be used on the face, neck and eye contour by children from 2 years, adults and people during or after cancer treatment.

Formula and Sterile Cosmetics® packaging

The balm is built around D-Sensinose™, a patented post-biotic ingredient derived from Avène Thermal Spring Water, for an ultra-calming effect. A short list of gentle, 100% skin-biomimetic ingredients — including shea butter, squalane and glycerin — gives a rich, comfortable texture, with 99% of ingredients of natural origin. Sterile Cosmetics® technology and the patented pump tube protect the formula from outside air and bacteria, so it contains no preservatives. Fragrance-free, non-comedogenic and dermatologically tested. Made in France.
