Q: Was the formula changed? The tube I received was chunky, blue, and separated. It wouldn’t mix. I returned and was sent a new tube- this tube was also the same. I won’t be purchasing again. A waste of money for what used to be an amazing product.

Q: Is this cruelty free?

submitted by Susan - 1 year ago
  • A: Avène is owned by a parent company that tests on animals. The parent company is Pierre Fabre, and this is not a cruelty-free company.

    submitted bySee Spot run - 1 year ago
  • A: Although Avène does not test its finished products on animals, it nevertheless pays others to test its products on animals where required by law. This means that Avene is not cruelty-free.

Q: When opened for the first time, is it normal for there to be liquid separated from the cream? The one I received had about a teaspoon of liquid coming out of the tube before the actual cream.

    Like others, it poured out a water like liquid after opening. I shook it up for several minutes and it has improved to a better consistency. Going to give it a try, but it’s not worth the price to arrive separated like this.

    Very Disappointed

    While my tube is not watery or clear like others reported, the product has made my hands drier than ever - to the point they are now ashy and flaking. I feel that this should never happen, regardless of the price point. I wish I could return this purchase.

    Blue liquid

    The first smaller tube I purchased was great. So I purchased the larger size, I could tell there was a lot of liquid sloshing around. I opened the tube and a bunch of blue liquid came out. Super disappointed bc I really like the cream. I hope they fix this issue. I can’t recommend it currently.

    Consistency issue

    I have purchased this product two times. The first time the product worked great and was a thick consistency. I repurchased again recently and the tube was half liquid. I could shake the tube and hear it sloshing around. When I shook the prior tube you could not hear any liquid moving around. I wouldn’t repurchase again since you don’t know if you’re going to get a bad batch.

    Really separated so clear watery stuff leaks out as soon as you open. I tried to shake/squeeze and remix but it didn't work. When I squeezed some of the water and cream out and mixed in my hand and used on a dry patch it didn't seem to help at all.

    Disappointed

    Was so excited to try this. Went to use it and it poured a ton of clear liquid all over me and the sink. I have shaken it and it sounds like a tube of water with a few chunks in it. Very sad to read this is a common problem.

    There is so much liquid or water in it. No matter how much I shake, squeeze, or kneed it will not mix together. Everything time I go to try and use some it squirts liquid everywhere. Not happy with the product.

    I received a 1.3 ounce tube as part of a gift package for breast cancer survivors. The expiration date is 04/2027, but when I opened it to use it, what came out was a clear, runny liquid. Since this is a cream, it is clearly defective. I wanted to try it, as chemo and radiation have left my skin extremely dry and fragile, but I can’t afford it.
