Avène's Tolerance Hydra-10 Moisturising Cream is a lightweight, fragrance-free moisturiser designed to deliver lasting hydration without feeling heavy or greasy. Formulated with 100% natural origin ingredients and ideal for sensitive or easily irritated skin, it contains thermal spring water and hyaluronic acid to help soothe skin and lock in moisture. It is available for £20.95.
Dermatologist Advice on Summer Skincare
Dr Derrick Phillips, consultant dermatologist, warns against skipping moisturiser during hot weather: 'During a heatwave, skin often feels oilier, tempting many to ditch their moisturiser. This is a mistake! Even in hot weather, the skin needs consistent hydration to maintain a healthy skin barrier.' Skipping moisturiser can lead to 'dehydration, barrier damage, and a rebound in oil production.'
Why Avène Stands Out
Emma North, a journalist with naturally oily skin, recommends Avène's Tolerance Hydra-10 Moisturising Cream as a solution. Made without preservatives and fragrance-free, it is one of the lightest yet most hydrating moisturisers she has tried. The formula instantly calms redness and soothes inflammation without feeling like a thick greasy mask. It is also suitable for sensitive skin that reacts to fragrance, alcohol, or preservatives.
Perfect for Humid Weather
North notes that the moisturiser is light enough for the most humid summer days, wearing beautifully under sunscreen and makeup without clogging pores. For added hydration, she recommends Avène Eau Thermale Spring Water Spray (£10), which provides an instant burst of hydration and cools the skin with an ultra-fine mist.
Conclusion
Avène's Tolerance Hydra-10 Moisturising Cream effectively keeps skin comfortable and hydrated without adding oiliness or leaving a heavy layer, making it an ideal choice for those with oily skin during hot weather.
