Did you know our skin is 70% water (around 8 litres!) and every day, we lose almost half a litre to evaporation alone. Life's daily stresses can also alter the protective film in the epidermis which leads to excessive water evaporation and dehydrated skin. The skin feels tight, rough and uncomfortable - cells at the surface of the skin lose their cohesion.
This is when it’s time for a refill! Our Hydrance range is overflowing with our soothing Avène Thermal Spring Water, providing intense hydration for sensitive skin. The technology in Hydrance recreates natural micro-reservoirs of Avène Thermal Spring Water to intensely replenish and refill the skin with water. Hydrance restores the natural hydration and protective barrier of the skin, smoothing away dehydration lines and alleviating tightness and tingling.
A boost of hydration for the face, this hydrating serum provides up to 48 hours* of hydration and restores comfort to dehydrated skin.
Rich in Hyaluronic acid, Vitamin B3 and Thermal Spring Water, Hydrance Boost serum has a fresh water-gel texture that leaves an imperceptible layer of water on the skin. Fighting dullness, it leaves skin soft, supple and smooth.

A high-quality patented complex: Cohederm™
The skin is composed of 70% water, so it needs it to defend itself from the aggressions it faces every day.
The patented Cohederm™ complex of key ingredients is present in most the products in the Hydrance range and acts on skin stresses to restore the skin’s natural hydration barrier. Upon contact with the skin and under the pressure of product application, the blend of key ingredients breaks down and releases this complex and Avène Thermal Spring Water. Together, they improve cohesion between the epidermal cells and restore deep hydration to dry and dehydrated skin.
Hydrance moisturisers come in two textures, but which one to choose? Whether oily, dry or normal, all skin types need to be moisturised. But it is important to consider the right texture and amount of water to prevent shininess or tightness and ensure all-day comfort. Each one has its own benefits, so you'll find one to suit your skin needs!
To nourish your dry to very dry sensitive skin, we recommend the Rich Hydrating Cream, with its rich, creamy texture, to deeply nourish the skin and restore lasting comfort and moisture.
If you have normal to combination sensitive skin, choose the Light Hydrating Emulsion for comfort and hydration without any sticky residue. Its secret? An airy, melting texture, to moisturise with a lightweight feel.
Dehydration is linked to the deterioration of the skin's barrier function. The causes: hormonal changes, cold, wind, smoking, etc. To avoid damaging the skin's protective film, gentle hygiene is important: use soap-free cleansing products and avoid hot water and overly vigorous rubbing. Apply a moisturiser suitable for your skin type every morning, a moisturising sleeping mask to boost hydration at night, and a moisturising serum to maximise your skin’s water retention.
The basis of your routine will be the same all year round: gentle cleansing in the morning and evening, followed by a spritz of Thermal Spring Water; a moisturising cream or BB cream in the morning; and a moisturising, anti-blemish or anti-ageing routine in the evening. In addition, once or twice a week, use a gentle exfoliator and a moisturising mask.
Adjust your routine to the changing seasons: add a moisturising serum and add an additional step after your day cream by using a sunscreen when the weather is hot and sunny.
We recommend a face care product such as the Hydrance Aqua Cream-in-Gel, which can be used as a moisturiser for day and night, as an eye contour cream and as a mask. And don't forget a micellar lotion, a thermal spring water spray and a BB cream to keep your skin looking good while protecting yourself from the sun.
