Skin ConditioningIngredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Paraffinum Liquidum is also known as liquid paraffin. It is a type of highly refined mineral oil.
Like other oils, Paraffinum Liquidum has emollient properties. Emollients help soothe and soften the skin. By creating a barrier to trap moisture within, emollients help keep your skin hydrated.
Paraffinum Liquidum does not irritate the skin and is non-comedogenic.
Learn more about Paraffinum LiquidumThis ingredient is an emollient, solvent, and texture enhancer. It is considered a skin-softener by helping the skin prevent moisture loss.
It helps thicken a product's formula and makes it easier to spread by dissolving clumping compounds.
Caprylic Triglyceride is made by combining glycerin with coconut oil, forming a clear liquid.
While there is an assumption Caprylic Triglyceride can clog pores due to it being derived from coconut oil, there is no research supporting this.
Learn more about Caprylic/Capric TriglycerideWater. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.
So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.
You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!
Learn more about WaterCarbomer is a polymer of acrylic acid. Its main role is to create a gel consistency.
A high amount of carbomer can cause pilling or balling up of products. Don't worry, most products contain 1% or less of carbomer.

Avène Soothing Radiance Mask 25 ingredients
Contains parfum (fragrance). Avoid if you have hypersensitive skin.
Despite being labeled as a product for sensitive skin, this mask is a bit too harsh for those with hypersensitivity/reactivity. This product contains synthetic fragrance (parfum), and while it is not at the very top of the ingredient list, there was enough in this to make my face stinging and red. It has a nice cooling effect Show more

Extremely sensitive skin
This cream was my life saver! Anyone who is looking for a cream that won’t irritate dry skin this is the one! Any other cream I have tried it has caused irritation. This winter my skin barrier was completely broken. This provided instant relief. A great aleternative for people who need a replacement for the discontinued la Roche posay product ‘toleriane ultra creme Show more
