Eau Thermale Avène Hydrance Hydrating Aqua Cream-in-Gel Face Moisturizer — Hyaluronic Acid & 24H Hydration

Avène Hydrance Hydrating Aqua Cream-in-Gel is a lightweight, multitasking gel-cream that delivers immediate and lasting hydration for face and eye contour while doubling as an overnight mask.

This moisturizer combines hyaluronic acid, polysaccharides and Avène Thermal Spring Water in a non-comedogenic gel-cream texture designed to refresh, plump and illuminate skin without heaviness. It’s formulated to work as an everyday hydrator, a soothing eye-contour treatment and a leave-on overnight mask to restore comfort and a dewy finish. The formula emphasizes long-lasting moisture and antioxidant support while remaining suitable for combination to normal and sensitive skin types.

How does this gel-cream hydrate skin all day?

The formula uses hyaluronic acid and polysaccharides that attract and hold water in the skin’s surface layers, supporting up to 24 hours of noticeable hydration and a smoother look. Lightweight emollients and Avène Thermal Spring Water help reinforce comfort without clogging pores.

• Hyaluronic acid supports water retention and skin plumpness
• Polysaccharides provide a hydrating film to minimize moisture loss
• Non-greasy gel-cream texture absorbs quickly for immediate comfort
• Avène Thermal Spring Water soothes and calms during application

Can I use it around the eye area and overnight?

Yes — the delicate, lightweight texture is suitable for the eye contour and can be applied as a thin layer in the morning or a richer layer at night as an overnight mask. When used overnight, it helps maintain moisture balance while avoiding heaviness that can pill under sleepwear.

• Apply sparingly along the orbital bone for targeted moisturization
• Use a thicker layer before bed for an intensive sleep mask effect
• Non-comedogenic formula minimizes risk of pore congestion
• Soothing Thermal Spring Water reduces sensations of tightness

Will this product work for sensitive or combination skin?

The formulation is developed to be gentle and non-irritating, making it appropriate for sensitive and combination skin types that need consistent hydration without added oiliness. Its simple, tolerance-minded composition aims to limit triggers while restoring comfort and radiance.

• Hypoallergenic-friendly approach with minimal irritants
• Light gel-cream avoids excess shine on oily zones
• Soothing thermal water calms reactive sensations
• Non-comedogenic to help reduce pore congestion risk

How should I layer this in my skincare routine?

Apply to clean, slightly damp skin to maximize moisture retention: follow with sunscreen in the morning or your preferred repair serum and cream at night. As an overnight mask, use a thicker single application in place of your usual night cream.

• Morning: serum → Hydrance gel-cream → broad-spectrum SPF
• Evening: cleanser → treatment serum → gel-cream or thicker overnight layer
• Use around eyes in thin layers or spot-apply for extra dryness
• Reapply during the day on dry patches if needed

Who is this for: Avène Hydrance Hydrating Aqua Cream-in-Gel is suited to anyone seeking a quick-absorbing, multipurpose hydrating product — especially people with normal, combination or sensitive skin who want a single step that refreshes, soothes and locks in moisture. It’s ideal for those who prefer lightweight textures that can double as a daytime moisturizer, eye-area treatment and overnight mask without leaving a heavy residue.
