Pros
The texture is very smooth. Even after just lightly applying it with my hands after misting, my skin feels soft and supple. It's not heavy, but the moisturizing effect is great. As someone with very dry skin, I used the mist, lotion, serum, and cream in that order, and I didn't feel any dryness.
Cons
It stings. When my skin is sensitive or irritated, using this makes it feel stinging. It's a really great product, but I don't reach for it as much these days.
Tip
Use it when your skin is in good condition! If it even slightly irritates or feels uncomfortable, I'd recommend avoiding it for a bit. It seems to be a bit too harsh in those situations.

Pros
I generally like the distinctive scent of the Avène brand, except for their lip balm. The thick cotton pads are good for doing a facial pack, and while the final cleansing step with a toner helps address dryness, I still felt a bit of tightness afterwards.
Cons
I bought it because it was said to be good for acne, but I didn't see any effects on my acne. Based on my experience, when my skin peels off like a shell, using this product afterwards can cause a stinging sensation, so it may be uncomfortable for those with damaged skin or a compromised skin barrier. As a water-based toner, it may leave dryness for dry skin types, so they should follow up immediately with a moisturizing product.
Tip
After cleansing, do a facial pack with cotton pads, wait an appropriate amount of time, then wipe off the toner - absorb any remaining toner, apply an ampoule/serum, and finish with a lotion. This routine works well for me during seasonal changes.

Pros
The absorbency seems good, and the scent is either almost non-existent or fairly mild.
Cons
As soon as I apply it, my entire face gradually turns red, and when I apply the Trixera lotion on top, it's excruciating... very stinging ㅠㅠ

Pros
Overall, it's really, really good! But to list the good points among them: 💗 It's effective in soothing the skin: When the skin barrier is compromised or the skin is extremely sensitive, using this as a pack or layering it on helps the skin feel moisturized and hydrated the very next day! 💗 It eliminates stubborn acne: When I had stubborn acne breakouts on the outer cheeks and was really stressed about it, using this as a daily pack or layering it on the affected area made the acne subside in about a week... In my personal experience, this is the most effective for stubborn acne. 💗 It provides excellent hydration: When I had dehydrated skin, using this as a pack on my cheeks made the skin feel less irritated and tight the next day! And the difference in how my skin feels with and without this under my regular skincare routine is night and day. After using this and then the Avène Tolerance Extreme Cream, my skin stayed moisturized until the next evening. 💗 It smoothens the skin texture: Using this every night before bed has made my skin texture much smoother than before!! My makeup applies better the next morning, and there's no pilling or flaking, so I make sure to use this as a pack the night before important events. 💗 It absorbs quickly: With its lightweight, watery formula, a light pat is all it takes for it to be absorbed quickly. After absorption, there's no oily or tacky residue left on the skin, making it easy to follow up with lotions or creams. 💗 It has good lasting power: As mentioned above, the moisturizing effects can vary greatly depending on whether you use other skincare on top of it or not. As someone with severe dryness, my cheeks used to feel parched and flaky the next morning, but after using this and going to bed, my skin still feels intensely hydrated when I wake up!
Cons
💣 The scent is strong: Since the formula contains fragrance, the intense scent hits your face as you apply it, almost like spraying perfume... Those who dislike scented products or have sensitive noses may find this quite unpleasant. 💣 It can be irritating upon application: Personally, I felt a stinging sensation and a burning feeling around my nose area when applying this. Those with even more sensitive skin may find it quite uncomfortable to use. 💣 It causes temporary redness: While applying, the areas that felt stinging also experienced some redness. This lasted for about 3-5 minutes. Those prone to redness should be cautious with this product.
Tip
🍯 With its readily absorbent formula, leaving it on as a 15-minute pack can really optimize the skin's condition! I also recommend layering it on a few times, spacing it out evenly. 🍯 It has amazing synergy with the Avène Tolerance Extreme Cream. For those with severe dryness like myself, using these two together is a lifesaver even in the winter.

Pros
The fragrance is nice, and it seems to have a calming effect as it contains ingredients like calamine that are suitable for sensitive skin.
Cons
It's annoying to have to shake it before use, and the application feels a bit irritating. The nice fragrance is due to the added perfume.

I used it as a cleansing balm, and it gave me a refreshing feeling. As soon as I applied it, it felt moisturizing and invigorating.
Cons
When I used it during a breakout, it gave me a stinging sensation. The same happened around my nose and other sensitive areas.

Pros
In the winter, my skin becomes very sensitive and prone to redness, but there were no benefits... It's really frustrating.
Cons
I bought a product from Avène and received a 50ml gift sample that was labeled as a sensitive soothing toner. But as soon as I applied it, I felt a stinging sensation and a burning feeling. So I quickly checked the ingredients and saw that it contained phenoxyethanol... Ethanol and alcohol ingredients should be avoided for sensitive skin, so I was surprised to see it in a sensitive soothing toner. Anyway, my face became flushed and reddened... Be careful with sensitive skin.
