My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Avène Cleanance Women tinted day cream is primarily intended for adult women prone to blemishes, shine, and uneven skin tone. This Avène product targets combination to oily skin, often affected by hormonal acne or residual marques. Its formula aims to even out the complexion while providing SPF 30 sun protection, which is essential for preventing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and premature aging. My expert opinion is that the formula is well designed to meet the specific needs of adult acne-prone skin, while offering a cosmetic dimension thanks to its tinted effect.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three active ingredients stand out in this formula. First, the combination of sun filters (Tinosorb M, Tinosorb S, Avobenzone, Uvasorb HEB) provides broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays, which is essential for limiting the worsening of imperfections and protecting the skin from the harmful effects of the sun. Next, glycerin, a recognized humectant, maintains skin hydration without weighing down the texture, which is crucial for combination to oily skin. Finally, lentil seed extract (Lens esculenta) helps to tighten pores and mattify the skin, contributing to a visible improvement in skin texture. The presence of vitamin E (tocopherol) provides additional antioxidant action.

Tips and Application Ritual

I recommend applying this product in the morning, on clean, dry skin, as the last step in your routine, before applying any makeup. It can be used alone or after a light moisturizing serum. It is compatible with active ingredients such as niacinamide or hyaluronic acid, but I would avoid combining it immediately with powerful exfoliants (AHA/BHA acids) to limit the risk of irritation in the sun.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

This Avène product stands out for its dual action: effective sun protection and complexion correction. Its light, non-greasy texture is suitable for combination to oily skin. The fragrance, although subtle, may be something to watch out for if you have very sensitive skin. In conclusion, this is a relevant, safe, and well-tolerated daily skincare product, ideal for women looking for a multifunctional product.
