    Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2019

    I really like the texture of this cream. I wasn't expect a lot as far as a moisturizing factor, as it's an antioxidant serum, but it feels great on my skin. It has a very light scent which is pleasant enough, though it'd be nice if it was fragrance free since that's better for your skin.

    I only use it in the mornings after cleansing and patting on a moisturizing toner using the seven-skin method. I use an OTC retinol serum or hyaluronic acid serum afterwards, followed by moisturizer and sunblock.

    I have mature skin that used to be very oily and acne prone, and is now quite dry in patches especially my cheeks and chin.

    Update: I was a little concerned about the cost of this for the size (though Amazon is still cheaper than my dermatologist office), however, I only just ran out and I bought this bottle at the end of November 2018. If you are only using one pump per day (I sometimes use 1-2 if I decide to go down my neck) then it should EASILY last 4 months.

    Product was recommended by my dermatologist. I’ve been using for a few months now, and have grown to LOVE this product! First, the smell is fantastic! Very pleasant. Second, the product is very light and absorbs quickly. It does not leave my already oily skin feeling greasy. But at the same time, it also hydrates my skin and leaves it feeling and looking great! I can not recommend this product more. I will always use.

    5.0 out of 5 stars My new Antioxidant Go-To
    Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    After a lot of research into French skincare, I ordered this product in addition to several others. This is now my favorite antioxidant for my morning skin care routine. The scent is light and pleasant, the product is not thick, heavy or greasy, and it is not colored like my previous product (CE Ferulic) which left my face feeling a little sticky and glossy looking (and maybe a tad yellowish). From my first use, using it twice daily, I have had no issues with irritation or breakouts, and I feel that my skin looks healthier and has a soft glow.

    Love this serum! My sensitive skin tolerates it very well as long as I use only a single pump. I’m still working my way to using this everyday to avoid skin purging but I can say it does give my skin that nice glow. It has a scent that smells really good and doesn’t irritate my skin. In terms of hydration, I wouldn’t count on this to moisturize my skin. Also, I find that if I put something a little heavy on top of this (like moisturizer or sunscreen), it tends to cause the product to pill.

    Huele rico y al momento de ponerlo en el rostro se siente muy suave y terciopelado, sobre los beneficios aun no puedo decirlo ya que llevo 2-3 semanas de uso y para ver los beneficios se necesitan de 4 a 5 semanas.
    Tengo entendió que este producto no es vitamina C pura, si no que tiene derivados, así que no es un producto potente y no te va ayudar a las arrugas, y manchas tampoco, o no tanto como una vitamina C Pura
    Pero para desinflamar, iluminar, hidratar, si estabbuenoc:
    Para pieles sensibles y que no toleran la vitamina C también es muy bueno

    5.0 out of 5 stars Noticable Skin Texture Improvement From The Very First Use
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 22, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    I have very sensitive, fair, oil to combination skin, so I've been using Avene products for more than 25 years (gonna turn 50 in September). This was my very first acquaintance with A-Oxitive Antioxidant and I became instantly a fan; will definitely reorder as soon as the bottle empties. Can’t recommend it enough in fact! I immediately noticed significant skin texture improvement and radiance from the very fist usage. Please note, however, that I use the serum together with the accompanying products, i.e. water cream, night peeling cream and eye cream, so maybe results are a bit enhanced due to this fact. Also, you absolutely have to remember you need to wear sunscreen when using these products as they have no SPF. Delivery was fast and all products were brand new, although in somewhat worse-for-wear boxes, safety-sealed if applicable and with long use-by dates. Very happy with the seller so I’ll remain a loyal customer, provided both conditions and prices remain up to par of course.

    Estoy encantada, lo elegí porque su formulación tiene previtamina C en alta concentración que era lo que estaba buscando. Paralelamente he probado otros productos de Avene y siempre me sorprenden para bien, es una firma de alta confianza y calidad.
    De los serums que he probado de distintas marcas este es de mis favoritos. Como cada piel es un mundo, cada persona tendrá que valorar qué tal se ajusta, para mí de 10.
