LookFantastic shoppers are snapping up a gel cream that leaves skin so moisturised it looks ‘like glass’. Avène Hydrance Aqua-Gel would typically cost £25.25 but is now half price at £12.63.
The brand uses innovative Japanese methods and French manufacturers to produce a gel cream that leaves skin refreshed. It claims to lock in water for up to 24 hours and soothe irritation for a comfortable finish.
93% of consumers surveyed after using the cream said that their skin was immediately nourished.
It’s pulled in an average rating of 4.68 out of 5 from across 95 reviews. One shopper said: “This has become a new staple in my skincare and I’ve bought other items from the range. My skin was really dry and awful looking due to my medication and this is so gentle but hydrating I immediately seen a difference in my skin looking glowing instead of dull but over a few days the elasticity in my skin has improved, its hydrated and healthy again and I feel so much better in myself about it. Its gentle and a lovely texture is great on own and make up sits on it really well too!”
A second penned: “This is my new favourite gel moisturiser! My skin has been so dry recently due to medication and the unpredictable weather doesn’t help, so I thought I’d try this when there was 20% off. So glad I did its amazing straight away my skin felt hydrated. Not sticky at all but my face looked like glass it is amazing. It felt so much better and my skin has transformed.”
A third added: “I have very dry skin I have used different brands for hydrating my skin but I can say Avene cream is second to none. It makes my skin glowing and hydrated. Love it.”
A fourth added: “Used as sleeping mask. My skin is soft, hydrated, and my make up looks flawless the next morning. It comes with a quite strong typical Avene scent, but it doesn’t bother me.”
Not everyone is so impressed though, one shopper penned: “Nice consistency and feels incredibly hydrating The smell is rather off putting, however, a cross between a lotion for babies or something for my grandmother. Slight tingling sensation as well so maybe not for sensitive skin.”
There are other popular skincare products that claim to give ‘glass skin’ such as LANEIGE Glowy Makeup Serum which is reduced to £18.75 on Cult Beauty at the minute.
