Tolerance Control Intensive Skin Recovery Serum

Breakdown

1 ingredient to avoid

Avène Tolerance Control Intensive Skin Recovery Serum scores 45/100 on Tallow — our okay band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Avène Tolerance Control Intensive Skin Recovery Serum lists 16 ingredients, starting with Avène Thermal Spring Water (Avene Aqua), Glycerin, Pentylene Glycol, Propanediol and 1,2-hexanediol. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 45/100 Avène Tolerance Control Intensive Skin Recovery Serum lands mid-scale — below the typical score in serums & treatments, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in serums & treatments is Kate Blanc Cosmetics Organic Jojoba Oil for Hair, Skin & Face at 100/100.
