Avene Hyaluron Activ B3 Range Review
The sensitive skin experts at Avene bring us innovations. The French skincare brand has unveiled Hyaluron Activ B3, a skincare range that acts directly on the main causes and signs of ageing. Here’s everything you need to know…
The Most Important Thing About This Range Is…
It’s a range of anti-ageing skincare by a brand loved worldwide for its sensitive skin-friendly formulas. The collection contains high percentages of natural origin ingredients and powerful ingredients that promise younger-looking skin in as little as 15 days.
What Skin Type Is It For?
All skin types can use this range. However, those with sensitive skin may be most drawn to it.
You Will Love This Range If…
You’re noticing fine lines and wrinkles and want to reduce their appearance. You may also have sensitive or reactive skin; thanks to this range, you don’t need to miss out on anti-ageing skincare – Avene’s Hyaluron Activ B3 range offers powerful ingredients in kind-to-skin formulas.
Hero Ingredients:
Across the range, there are two hero ingredients; niacinamide (B3), known for its anti-ageing benefits, and low and hyaluronic acid, which is a hydrating hero that’ll plump and nourish. In addition, the night cream contains retinal, a trending anti-ageing ingredient. In true Avene fashion, each product contains Avene Thermal Spring Water; this iconic water is famed for its restorative nature and calming properties.
What Does Each Item Feel Like?
1. The Serum
Avene Hyaluron Activ B3 Concentrated Plumping Serum – like chubby water – it’s a liquidy consistency but a little thicker. It feels ultra-hydrating on the skin and absorbs quickly. Once absorbed, the skin feels fresh and comfortable.
2. The Eye Cream
Avene Hyaluron Activ B3 Triple Correction Eye Cream – it’s a gel-cream texture that feels hydrating but is extremely lightweight – it absorbs instantly.
3. The Day Cream
Avene Hyaluron Activ B3 Cell Renewal Cream – like a gel-cream, it’s very refreshing and lightweight – it aborbs quickly and leaves a slight sheen on the skin.
4. The Night Cream
Avene Hyaluron Activ B3 Multi-Intensive Night Cream – it’s richer than the Renewal Cream, absorbs quickly but leaves more of a glow on the skin than the day cream.
How Do You Use The Products?
Apply the range in this order after cleansing:
1. Avene Hyaluron Activ B3 Concentrated Plumping Serum – Apply 1 to 2 drops to the face, eye area and neck, morning and/or evening. Use alone or mixed with another skincare product.
2. Avene Hyaluron Activ B3 Triple Correction Eye Cream – Apply a pea-sized amount to the eye and lip contour by gently pressing into the skin with your fingertips.
3. Avene Hyaluron Activ B3 Cell Renewal Cream – Apply to the face, neck and chest in upwards motions.
Swap the Renewal Cream for the below at night:
3. Avene Hyaluron Activ B3 Multi-Intensive Night Cream – Apply to the face, neck and chest in upwards motions.
What’s Special About The Design Of The Range?
Avene uses a mixture of glass and plastic across this range – the glass really elevates the line-up and gives it a more premium edge! In addition, the glass bottle of the serum and day cream can be recycled. The outer packaging is made from cardboard, which can also be recycled.
I’m particularly a big fan of the night cream’s design. The retinal-infused moisturiser has a twist-lock lid that protects the formula from contamination and keeps the potent ingredients fresher for longer.
