One year agoI’ve always been a dedicated and loyal customer of Avene especially due to my sensitive and rosacea prone skin. And I had been looking for a gentle yet effective for vit c serum for sensitive skin until I met the A-Oxitive serum. This serum is the holy grail for sensitive skin and it does exactly what it says. My skin was brighter and healthier in almost a week of using it. The hyperpigmentation from acne flares reduced greatly and there was a noticeable glow that made my skin look renewed and revitalised. The vit c alternative - ascorbyl glycoside along with vit e and hyaluronic acid is so gentle on the skin yet so effective collectively to give the skin all the benefits of vit c and e without compromising the skin’s barrier.
Additionally, as a dermal clinician I am always recommending products to clients as a part of my job and every time I get clients with damaged skin barrier or compromised skin conditions especially with sensitive skin conditions, wanting to use vit c, I always refer them to this product.
This anti-oxidant rich serum has completely eliminated my dull complexion and revived my damaged skin barrier.

One year agoI have reacted to so many vitamin C products over the years and was told by a beautician that I was someone who just couldn’t use a vitamin C product. I decided to give this a go and I haven’t looked back. It soaks in so quickly, brightens my skin and no reaction what so ever after two months of use. I love this product!!

You can apply the Smoothing Water-Cream right after applying the Energizing Plumping Serum. With this method, you can reduce the amount of skincare products used by half while maintaining the same effectiveness and skin comfort.
Antioxidants are essential for maintaining healthy skin. They will protect the skin against oxidative stress, which accelerates skin ageing, particularly when exposed to UV rays or pollutants. They therefore allow you to have beautiful, firm, smooth and radiant skin. The A-OXitive Antioxidant Defense Serum is applied before your A-OXitive Smoothing Water-Cream to enhance its effectiveness.
AVÈNE THERMAL SPRING WATER
A powerful water that soothes and calms.
I stated using this serum in mid 2023 (after my previous brand pilled on my skin). This Vitamin C serum is top notch. It goes on beautifully and I feel it has made a difference to my skin health. My skin looks more clarified, plumped, lifted and glowing. I do find it is a bit expensive, but I try to buy it on sale. I love this product. Please keep making it.
