Avene Cleanance Women Smoothing Night Cream 30 ml

Product Information

I’m in my mid-twenties and while my days of acne and breakouts aren’t fully behind me, aging is also becoming a top concern for me.

It also leaves the skin soft, but not oily, is hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic making it perfect for both oily and sensitive skin formulas. Exactly what it sounds: nice smelling stuff put into cosmetic products so that the end product also smells nice. It is a polymer (created from repeating subunits) molecule and has different molecular weight and thus different viscosity versions from water-light to thick liquid.The generic term for nice smelling stuff put into cosmetic products so that the end product also smells nice. It can be produced from most vegetable oils (in oils three fatty acid molecules are attached to glycerin instead of just one like here) in a pretty simple, "green" process that is similar to soap making. An emollient and natural moisturizer that can be found also in the sebum (oily stuff our skin produces).

Retinol is like a grandkid, it has to be converted (through two steps) in the skin to become retinoic acid. The good tolerability of retinal was also confirmed by another study that compared retinol (ROL), retinal (RAL) and retinoic acid (RA). This long-named, polymer molecule (big molecule from repeated subunits) is a helper ingredient that's good at emulsifying and stabilizing oils into water-based formulas.Apart from leaving the skin soft and smooth (emollient), it's also used as a waterproofing agent in sunscreens or makeup products and as a shine enhancer in lip gloss formulas. If that would not be enough, it's also an excellent solvent, and it's a regular not only on the ingredients lists of make-ups but also on makeup removers. Once retinal is converted, it becomes retinoic acid and does the same things we detailed in our tretinoin description. A clear, colorless and odorless, highly volatile (meaning it does not absorb into the skin but evaporates from it) liquid that's used as an emollient.
