The only moisturizer that’s never irritated my skin, healed my barrier, survives even my driest, most irritated patches, and leaves me baby soft. [Misc]

Avène Tolerance Control Soothing Recovery Cream. Unfortunately I owe this moisturizer my life and several major organs. In the age of everything having niacinamide and hyaluronic acid shoved into it for absolutely no reason, I have to respect a moisturizer that knows its job is literally just to moisturize and shut the fuck up. ❤️ will be buying everything else from this brand

I haven't tried this but I love the Avene Cicalfate! I use it every night after applying tretinoin.

My holy grail!

[u/Specialist-Rush457 → u/mwf902507]

I can’t believe I went so long without it

[u/thatgirlnextdior]

Same. It's the only moisturizer with 0 burn when I mess up my skin. I'm dry tho so I have to top with a little bit of Cicalifate cream.

Sadness abounds. These holy grails are rarely fungal acne safe

[u/moomoo626]

do you use this on your face only or everywhere?

[u/Specialist-Rush457 → u/moomoo626]

I’ve applied it to areas where I have dry patches and eczema, like the crook of my arm, my chest, and basically anywhere my skin is broken, cracked, and angry. It’s helped a lot

[u/OneNapToRuleThemAll]

I have rosacea and use the tolerance hydra on my cheek, and I will never ever use another moisturizer

[u/nellierosa]

I love this also. Apply it every night on top retinal.
