Eau Thermale Avene Rich Compensating Cream

Based on the ingredients included, "Eau Thermale Avene - Rich Compensating Cream" works well for moisturizing the skin. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Eau Thermale Avene - Rich Compensating Cream ticks this box. Cyclomethicone, glycerin and peg-32 in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Emollients in this formulation (paraffinum liquidum, beta-sitosterol, cyclomethicone, cetearyl alcohol and decyl oleate) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
