As a beauty editor, I’m always trying new products, and this new one from Avène surprised me thanks to its innovative targeting of the facial structure.
If there’s one thing the French do well, it’s ageing gracefully, and Avène proves why. The latest in age-defying skincare from the beloved French pharmaceutical brand is top-notch: the new DermAbsolu Intensive Reshaping Night Cream (RRP $83.99), a velvety, nourishing night cream designed to revitalise and smooth skin while you sleep.
If you haven’t introduced a night cream to your evening skincare regime yet, let this be your cue. When we sleep, our bodies get to work rebuilding and repairing, nourishing our skin and fighting signs of ageing. Ensure you’re using powerhouse ingredients in your nighttime skincare routine and formulas that protect against the signs of ageing, including loss of firmness, reduced moisture levels, and dullness.
Let’s break it down
THE RESEARCH
Avène researchers coined the term the ‘Triangle of Youth’ when developing their powerful skincare. Not to be confused with the Bermuda Triangle, these three points represent the key elements that define youthful skin: firmness, hydration, and radiance. As skin matures, these elements diminish, leading to a visible inversion of the facial triangle: loss of volume in the cheeks, sagging contours, and a dull complexion. A high-quality product needs to target all three.
THE FORMULA
Enter the DermAbsolu Intensive Reshaping Night Cream, a reformulated version of Avène’s cult-classic DermAbsolu Night Cream. Launching this month in leading pharmacies nationwide, it’s enriched with the beloved Avène Thermal Spring Water and packed with a lineup of patented actives designed to combat signs of ageing, including Bakuchiol (a gentle retinol alternative), Glycoleol (a key lipid-replenishing agent), Pro-Ceramides, and Niacinamide.
These powerful actives work to target the telltale signs of mature skin: loss of radiance and moisture, reduced density, and a sagging facial structure. They work synergistically to restore skin density, enhance firmness, and boost radiance while you sleep.
“A good beauty routine is a nightly gift to yourself, and the reward is waking up to plumped, firmer, and radiant skin. The Avène DermAbsolu Night Cream does all the heavy lifting while you sleep, thanks to Bakuchiol, a gentle plant-based version of retinol, Pro-ceramides and Niacinamide perfect combination for experienced sensitive skin.”
— Sarah Mahler, Product Specialist for Avène New Zealand
Key active ingredients:
- 1% Bakuchiol: a plant-based alternative to retinol
- 2% Pro-Ceramides: to strengthen the skin barrier
- 2% Niacinamide: for brightening and evening skin tone
THE TEXTURE
Don’t worry if you’re not a fan of heavy or greasy formulas that end up on the pillow.
Specially formulated for sensitive, mature skin, DermAbsolu Intensive Reshaping Night Cream deeply hydrates and comforts with a rich, cocooning texture. The refreshing gel-cream texture melts into the skin, delivering long-lasting hydration and enhancing the absorption of actives while you sleep. By morning, skin feels smoother, visibly plumped, and refreshed, revealing a luminous, well-rested complexion.
THE RANGE
The innovative DermAbsolu Intensive Reshaping Night Cream works beautifully on its own, but — like any skincare product — it’s at its best when used in conjunction with other powerful products. The DermAbsolu range is a science-led innovation designed to restore and redefine the youthful appearance of skin, focusing on the key areas in the Triangle of Youth.
