You really don’t need to spend thousands of Rands on good quality serums!
These three from Avène are super gentle, very effective and really well formulated. No matter your skin concern, one of these serums will address it.
Cleanance A.H.A Exfoliating Serum R552
This is a great serum for those struggling with blemishes, pores and marks. It refines the skin’s texture and gently exfoliates the skin, while regulating sebum production. Developed for sensitive skin and tested on acne prone skin contains just 10 ingredients and no fragrance.
The formula contains a patented acid duo of lactic and succinic acids that are 1.5X more effective than salicylic acid (an ingredient often used to treat pimples and acne).
The claims for this serum are incredible. Clinical tests show a new skin effect from 10 days of use.
Ideal for daily use, this gentle yet effective serum can be used morning and evening on face, neck and décolletage.
Cicalfate + Intensive Skin Recovery Serum R459.95
Is your skin barrier compromised? Does your skin feel tight, dry, inflamed or uncomfortable? If yes, the Cicalfate + Intensive Skin Recovery Serum is for you.
This serum works in two ways: It regulates inflammation and its chronic reoccurrence, allowing skin to self-regulate. It then strengthens the skin barrier to repair the skin. The formula is rich in the Avène Thermal Spring Water, Pro-Vitamin B5 and TRP – Rugulin that all work synergistically to restore the skin barrier in only one day, hydrating, soothing and repairing the skin.
The formula is alcohol, fragrance and silicone free, ensuring high tolerance even for the most sensitive skin types. Its fresh, milky texture offers a velvety finish and restores skin comfort.
Vitamin Activ Cg Radiance Corrector Serum R769.95
I tell everyone looking for formulas to ensure their skincare routine is effective that it’s a good idea to add a Vitamin C serum – especially during the day – to protect the skin from free radicals.
The newest launch from Avène, is a radiance enhancing serum that’s packed with Vitamin Cg, known for its antioxidant effectiveness.
The formula also includes a 3% dose of Niacinamide that works to regenerate the skin long-term, reducing the appearance of dark spots.
Bakuchiol, an alternative to Retinol that’s better tolerated by sensitive skin types, corrects wrinkles.
This serum gives the skin an instant glow and is tested on sensitive skin. It contains 94% ingredients from natural origin and is Vegan. The dark brown glass bottle ensure the Vitamin C is protected from light, that can cause it to degrade.
While you should definitely use this serum during the day, you can also use it at night too and look forward to waking up with beautiful, glowing skin.
The Avène range of products is available to purchase for Clicks and Dischem and online from Dermastore
