What it is and what it does
Avène Hydrance RICH Hydrating Cream – Deep Comfort & Lasting Hydration for Dry Sensitive Skin
Restore softness, comfort, and healthy-looking radiance with Avène Hydrance RICH Hydrating Cream, an intensely nourishing moisturizer designed specifically for dry, dehydrated, and sensitive skin. Powered by Avène Thermal Spring Water and the advanced Cohederm™ Hydrating Complex, this rich cream delivers long-lasting moisture while helping strengthen the skin’s natural barrier for improved resilience and comfort.
Its luxurious yet non-greasy texture melts into the skin, replenishing essential hydration and relieving tightness, roughness, and dehydration-related discomfort without feeling heavy.

Key ingredients

Thermal Spring Water
From French city La Roche Posay. Contains soothing minerals like selenium that decrease inflammation.

Petrolatum
Petrolatum is one of the best occlusives, forming a protective barrier that locks in moisture, prevents transepidermal water loss, and supports wound healing. It’s noncomedogenic, so it won’t clog pores, and is widely used for skin protection. Considered one of the best moisturizing ingredients, it is often misunderstood due to its petrochemical origin, but high-grade petrolatum is free of toxins and PAHs. In the U.S., only purified, high-quality forms are allowed in cosmetics, and it is included in the FDA's skin protectant monograph, recognized for its protective benefits.

Glycerin (Glycerol) is the best natural moisturizing ingredient to hydrate skin quickly. May give products a sticky feel.

Vegan form of cholesterol that is found in skin barrier creams. This ingredient is usually combined with ceramides and fatty acids in barrier repair moisturizers.
