If you’re someone who suffers with sensitive skin, beauty fans have been snapping up this £21 recovery balm which they say helps minimise ‘rosacea and acne’ overnight.

The Avène Tolerance Control Smoothing Skin Recovery Balm is a moisturising and soothing balm which has helped thousands of people with reactive skin. According to reviews, when skin begins to feel hot, tight, itchy or uncomfortable, this hydrating balm acts quickly to ease redness and feelings of discomfort.

At the heart of the balm is D-Sensinose, an ultra-calming postbiotic active ingredient that’s been proven to smooth skin in just 30 seconds and repairs the skin’s barrier in 48 hours.

Also found in the formula is the iconic Avène Thermal Spring Water which keeps skin hydrated for 24 hours - great for those who suffer with dry, flaky skin.

It’s suggested to use the Skin Recovery Balm morning and night by applying it to the face and neck as the final step in your skincare routine.

The hydrating balm has received hundreds of five star reviews online with shoppers calling it ‘amazing cream for sensitive skin & eczema’ and ‘surprisingly fast acting.’

One delighted customer who left a glowing review siad: “I developed a skin sensitivity reaction to a product, and none of my “expensive” skin care products helped. My skin was dry, itchy, bumpy, sensitive to everything I tried. Avene’s Soothing Skin Recovery Balm worked instantly to repair my skin. I have been using the balm twice a day for two weeks now, and my skin is smooth, hydrated, and nourished.”

A second shopper said: “I've suffered with dry flaky skin for years but usually find most creams too thick and heavy. This is really light, doesn't have a horrible smell and has left my skin very really moisturised and much healthier.”

While a third added: “ A little goes a long way...especially as it has quite a thick consistency. I have been using it twice a day and have noticed a small change just in the skin in the last week. It's helped minimise the redness on my face and help make my skin feel smooth and soothed.”

Best of all, there's currently 3 for 2 on selected Avenue products including the bestselling Recovery Balm - so it's the perfect opportunity to stock up.
