You need to apply it a bit thicker than expected to build up that hydrated feeling.
ConsThe scent is overwhelmingly strong. I feel a bit dizzy after using it, probably because of the artificial fragrance.

Products that don't work: Anything oil-based or sticky Products that work: Dr. G Blemish, Isntree Cream Heavy or rich creams instantly trigger my acne, so I stick to lightweight moisturizers. Lately, with prolonged mask-wearing and irregular lifestyle, I've been dealing with both redness and acne flare-ups. Suspecting contact dermatitis, I switched to a low pH gel cleanser. Then I won the Hwahae Testers draw for Avène Aqua Gel and here's my review after 2 weeks: Texture: It's a typical gel moisturizer, but thinner than most, making it easy to apply smoothly. Stickiness: Unlike Dr. G which feels a bit tacky at first before absorbing to a matte finish, Avène has zero stickiness from application to absorption. After using Avène, I realized Dr. G actually feels a bit sticky in comparison. Calming effect: This product really helped soothe my skin! My redness has significantly reduced, making my acne less noticeable and my complexion brighter overall. Pores: For long-time acne sufferers, enlarged pores are almost inevitable. Add redness to the mix, and they become even more prominent. As this product calmed my skin and evened out my skin tone, my pores became less noticeable! (Let's be honest, no skincare can 'erase' pores - it's all about hydration filling them in to make them look smaller.) Also, it controls sebum better! With my large pores, I'm prone to oiliness, which worsens with rich products. That's why I stick to light moisturizers. This product delays oil build-up noticeably! I can feel the difference when I wash my face in the morning. Cooling effect: To be honest, I didn't notice much of a cooling sensation. It feels similar to other products in this regard. I tend to run hot, so I keep my moisturizers in the fridge anyway.
ConsIf I had to point out a downside to the Avène Cleanance line, including the cleansing gel I'm using, it would be the scent. I'm usually not sensitive to fragrances, but this one was a bit off-putting at first. After two weeks, I've gotten used to it, but when I first started using it, I was quite surprised by the smell!
TipI highly recommend the Avène Cleanance Cleansing Foam. I've been using this even before becoming a Hwahae Tester for the Cleanance cream, and it's been great for my contact dermatitis. It effectively cleanses pores while maintaining skin hydration. Using it together with the cream has really helped manage my sebum production, so I'd recommend it to anyone prone to contact dermatitis.

Scent: It has a strong masculine skincare fragrance. I'm not usually sensitive to scents, but this one is quite potent. The more I use it, the less I seem to get used to it. Application: It's incredibly smooth and pleasant! The finish is nice too. It has a soothing gel-like texture, but the finish isn't sticky at all - just soft and smooth. What I love most is how lightweight the container is! Other creams in the same volume have intimidatingly heavy packaging, but this Avène cream is small and light, which I'm really happy about!
ConsI wish it came with a cream lid or spatula! The cream comes out directly, which makes me feel it might be unhygienic. I really wish they could do something about the scent... It's the most disliked fragrance among all the cosmetics I've tried so far. I'm usually not picky about scents, but why does this one bother me so much? It's an overwhelmingly strong scent.
TipIt seems like a great cream to apply before makeup! The finish feels comfortable, soft, and hydrating.

Absorbs beautifully! Great hydration! As someone with redness and heat-prone skin, I was really satisfied with its soothing effect. After use, my skin looks moisturized and as pretty as when I was younger, which makes me feel good every time I apply it. While it might not be enough on its own in winter, it provides sufficient moisture now during the changing seasons without needing additional hydration. I'm not sure if my pores have actually shrunk, but there's definitely a feeling that they appear smaller right after application! I think I'll be using this a lot this spring.
ConsThe ingredients are a bit disappointing. I was shocked to see colorants and fragrances... The pastel color is pretty, but I'm surprised they still use colorants in cosmetics these days. The artificial scent from the fragrance is a bit concerning for my sensitive skin. Also, what's with the sticker? Seeing a sticker on it made me feel a bit uneasy. I'm a bit let down by Avène!

I prefer products with a slight cooling effect, as those without it can feel like they leave residue. This one had just the right amount of cooling, which was great. It also absorbs quickly! Even when I applied more than usual, it absorbed fast and didn't leave any residue, probably thanks to the cooling effect. I really dislike products that don't absorb well and feel heavy on the skin, but this one absorbed quickly and had a nice cooling effect, so it didn't feel heavy at all, even with a generous application. My skin is sensitive and prone to blemishes, but this product didn't aggravate them. While the cooling didn't necessarily soothe existing blemishes or redness, it seems like a safe, reliable option for everyday use.
ConsThe fragrance was too strong for me. When I first opened the product, I was hit with an unexpectedly powerful scent. I'm quite sensitive to fragrances and don't like strong ones, but even after using it for over a week, I couldn't get used to it. It's a cool, powdery scent, but I found it disappointing that they used such a strong fragrance in a moisturizer. Another downside was the lack of a spatula. Having to dip my fingers directly into the product wasn't ideal - I think a tube format would have been more convenient.
TipIf I weren't so sensitive to fragrances, I think I would have really enjoyed using this product. For those who aren't bothered by strong scents, I believe it would work well, especially for those with oily skin due to its quick absorption. Those with dry skin might find it a bit drying, though. As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I found it slightly drying and tight when used alone, so I paired it with a hydrating essence for better results.

It's so refreshingly light that it's better suited for oily skin rather than dry. It feels like a typical hydrating gel cream. It spreads incredibly smoothly and absorbs right into the skin! When it comes to hydration, this product works hard.
ConsThere seems to have been a printing error on the container. Instead of 'Cream in Gel', it was labeled with the name of a different product. But that aside, the fragrance is... a bit strong. It smells somewhat like old-fashioned cosmetics? It wasn't a pleasant scent.

That's about it.
Cons1. I noticed the sticker says 'milky gel' when I peeled it off... I bought this at Olive Young. 2. The area around my mouth tingles after application. 3. It claims to cool down skin temperature, but it doesn't cool at all. 4. Once it's fully absorbed, my skin feels dry and I need to reapply. 5. The scent is nice, but it's so strong it makes me dizzy. 6. It doesn't reduce redness at all.
TipNothing else to add... I bought this because of an ad and I'm so disappointed. I didn't set out to only list negatives, but there are truly no positives to mention.
