What it is and what it does
Avène Rich Compensating Cream – Intensive Lipid-Replenishing Moisturizer for Radiant, Comforted Skin
Restore softness, comfort, and glow to dry, dull, or sensitive skin with the NEW & IMPROVED Avène Rich Compensating Cream. This deeply nourishing restorative moisturizer helps replenish essential lipids, strengthen the skin barrier, and prevent moisture loss for skin that feels smoother, healthier, and visibly revitalized.
Designed to comfort moisture-depleted skin, the rich velvety texture melts into the complexion, delivering long-lasting hydration without feeling heavy or greasy. A powerful antioxidant complex derived from fruit extracts and Vitamin E helps defend against free radical damage and environmental stressors that contribute to premature aging and dullness.
Why Lipid Replenishment Matters 💧
As skin becomes dry or environmentally stressed, it loses essential lipids needed to maintain hydration and resilience. Rich Compensating Cream helps restore those protective lipids to improve comfort, softness, and overall skin vitality.

With continued use, skin appears healthier, more supple, and beautifully glowing—restored with the comfort and resilience it needs every day.
Key ingredients

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

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

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.
