It’s true that these days, the idea of aging has become more daunting than death itself. Aging does seem like the ultimate beauty apocalypse, and is basically the reason why everyone seems to be in a manic rush to grab any jar in the market that promises eternal youth—despite the adverse effects it may have on those with really sensitive skin. The question is: does easing a little wrinkle on this side of your face make up for a little redness and stinging on the other?

Avene understands the great lengths people take to reverse the symptoms of aging skin, particularly those with sensitive skin. In fact, the soothing and calming properties of its formulations have won over most dermatologists and estheticians worldwide. Its secret? All of Avene’s products are infused with thermal spring water. This water is known to be bacteriologically pure, has a low mineral content and near neutral ph—the very reason Avene products are excellent for hypersensitive or irritated skin.

Avene Retrinal Plus 0.1 is Avene’s answer to the growing demand for an effective anti-aging cream that’s gentle enough for sensitive skin. Just as it is infused with the healing properties of thermal spring water, it is also formulated with two very powerful ingredients: Retinol, one of the most potent forms of vitamin A, and Pre-Tocopheryl, a photostable form of vitamin E.

Besides fighting acne and speeding up cell renewal process, retinol is one of those ingredients that has consistently and persuasively been found by clinical studies to spur the production of new collagen, which keeps the skin firm, smooth, and young looking. Vitamin E keeps the skin moisturized, and as an antioxidant, ups the skin’s defense against free radicals. With regular use, Avene Retrinal Plus ensures your skin takes on a firmer, brighter and more youthful appearance.
