The promises

This is what I could read on the site:

A unique combination of patented* ingredients that visibly act on skin slackening, less compact skin and a lack of comfort:

1. FIRMING – Vanilla polyphenols, real Hyaluronic Acid boosters that help combat skin slackening and make the skin more compact and firm.
2. ALIGNS THE FACIAL CONTOURS NICELY – SytenolTM, a component with a powerful restructuring effect on the cells, strengthens the cells and ensures that the face retains its volume.
3. NOURISHING -Glycoleol, a precursor of lipids that are essential for the skin, makes your skin supple and comfortable again thanks to its immediate and long-lasting nourishing effect and restarts the natural lipid production in the skin.
4. ILLUMINATING -Contains mother-of-pearl pigments that brighten the face.
5. SOOTHING – gives the skin an immediate sense of comfort thanks to avène’s naturally soothing and anti-irritating Thermal Water. A moisturizing effect that lasts for 24 hours, which relieves the skin of its tingling sensation all day long.

Pros

• I love the packaging. It’s very hygienic.
• Economic in use.
• Very light in consistency.
• The cream is absorbed immediately by my skin.
• Pleasant feel on the skin.
• My skin feels nourished and supple.

Cons

• Doesn’t contain an SPF.

Conclusion

I like this daycream. I like my daycare to protect me from the sun too however, so the lack of SPF is a big con for me.
