A Smooth, Matte Complexion

If you start the day with perfect makeup but end it with an oily, shiny face that has no more makeup left on it, Eau Thermale Avène Cleanance Skin Rening Serum is the x.

It happens, doesn’t it? You make so much effort with your makeup, but throughout the day, the excess sebum on your skin simply melts it away. You’re left with an oil slick – and barely a trace of makeup.

This isn’t only a problem for women with oily and/or acne-prone skin. It’s a problem for all Singapore women because of our island’s heat and humidity.

What’s more, excess sebum production has a way of widening pores, making them look more obvious. When pores are enlarged, they cannot be tightened or reduced in size. And it only gets worse. As the pore lining thickens, it blocks sebum from getting to the surface of the skin, resulting in blackheads, white bumps and pimples.

What can you do to keep your pores from expanding? You need to manage the oiliness.

One way is to use a rening serum like Eau Thermale Avène Cleanance Skin Rening Serum. Specically developed for Asian skin, and those prone to acne, the non-comedogeni­c serum uses monolaurin to regulate sebum production and inhibit the production of acnecausin­g bacteria, which leads to fewer breakouts. Also, when less sebum is produced, the pores have less chance to get bigger.

The serum also contains p-Renyl to rm the skin, making pores appear smaller, more rened and less obvious. An active ingredient called XPressin gently exfoliates skin for a smoother complexion. Finally, it is rich in Avène thermal spring water, making it suitable for sensitive skin.

With continued use, the Cleanance Skin Rening Serum makes oily skin feel smoother and look more matte. It gives you a smoother, naturally radiant complexion without drying out the skin. And of course, it also helps your makeup to stay on all day.

Use the serum in the morning and at night, after toner and before moisturise­r. If you use multiple serums for different concerns, apply the Cleanance Skin Rening Serum rst, before using other treatment serums.

If your skin is oily and breakout-prone, consider using the rest of the Avène Cleanance range to help you manage your oily skin in a more holistic way.
