Gio — Sat, 11 Nov 2023 13:15:00 +0000

Hands up if you feel thermal water is just fancy tap water in a pretty bottle. I used to feel like that, too. I don’t mind splurging on my antioxidants and retinoids but… water? It never seemed like a good way to invest my money. Until a friend gave me a bottle of Avene Thermal […]

What are the best Avene skincare products? Is this even a good brand? I get asked these questions a lot by readers who notice I rarely review French skincare brands like Avene.

Gio — Sun, 19 Apr 2020 14:27:00 +0000

Can you use retinoids on your eye area? Yes – as long as they’re gentle. 1% retinol, for example, is often too much for this delicate area, making your crow’s feet look worse, not better. Ouch!

Is Avene Physiolift Day Smoothing Emulsion The Best Cream For Sensitive Combination Skin?

Gio — Wed, 15 Apr 2020 16:58:00 +0000

Combination skin can get sensitive, too – especially during the colder winter months. When that happens, you need to go back to basics.
