Moisturizer Review: Eau Thermale Avene Rich Compensating Cream

Today's review will be for the Eau Thermale Avene Rich Compensating Cream

Would I buy this?: No.

Does it contain any special/beneficial ingredients?

Again, according to beautylish.com:

Lipidic Complex Biocymentine (Ceramides, Plant Sterols, and Fatty Acids) help restore skin's barrier and prevent moisture loss.
Patented Pre-Tocopheryl, a photostable form of Vitamin E, provides powerful anti-oxidant protection against free radicals.
Glycerin hydrates.
Avène Thermal Spring Water soothes, soften and calm the skin.

What is the texture like?

I'd say that overall this feels lightweight yet also richly hydrating, refreshing creamy texture.

Is it scented?

This has a clean, fresh scent.

My overall experience/comments on the product:

 As mentioned, this doesn't feel heavy but it's not weightless either, it starts off feeling lightweight but then hits you with this rich moisture that, due to the thermal water, feels refreshing. I personally really like it for my dry skin because it hydrates so well without being a heavy product.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
