I have sensitive/combination/rosacea prone skin. If I don't take the proper sun precautions my face breaks out. This cream is a tad heavy so super oily types I wouldn't recommend this to. This makes a...Read more

My review is for the Hydrance optimale light with SPF 20. I love it for my acne prone, oily and sensitive skin! It gives a bit of moisture but leaves a nice matte finish, which I adore. It doesn't br...Read more

This review is for the 'light' version of Hydrance Optimale, not the thicker 'riche' one. This is a fantastic day cream. It's the only SPF-containing moisturiser that hasn't left thick white streaks ...Read more

I really like the formula without SPF b/c it is lighter than this. This one has an yellowish color b/c of the SPF and it's heavier. It's still a very good moisturizer and I would wear it when I go to ...Read more

Great moisturizer for dry skin, but my face looks pale and unnatural (chalky) when I apply liquid foundation over it. This is definitely my choice for summer.

Hydrance Optimale is supposed to be for sensitive skins, but as it's the only day cream with an SPF that Avene makes, I decided to try it out (despite not having sensitive skin). I've been using this ...Read more
