How moisturizing is it?

Maximum hydration: Avene Tolerance Extreme Cream has the highest possible moisturizing rating of 10.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather occlusive. It has a very high humectancy of 9.9 out of 10, solely because of the significant content of Glycerin (est. ≈9.9%), and a maximum occlusivity of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈19.7%) and Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter (est. ≈5.4%).

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the moisturizing rating calculation.

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Avene Tolerance Extreme Cream is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil (est. ≈3.6%).

A key benefit of antioxidants is their ability to reduce oxidative stress caused by free radicals and therefore prevent accelerated skin aging. Studies also show that antioxidants can protect against environmental damage such as UV radiation and pollution, and help reduce inflammation and skin redness.
