Avène-focused skincare routine for sensitive skin

Routine by Lovi · Unbiased, science-based skincare AI trained on real user outcomes · How the Fit score works

A routine for sensitive skin built around Avène products, complemented by other brands where they fit better, for complete care.

Cleansers, toners, serums, and moisturizers with glycerin, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, panthenol, and centella asiatica extract help calm redness and stinging. Exfoliating steps with papain, and serums with ceramides, further soothe reactions to new products and support sensitive skin.

The morning routine prepares the skin for the day: it cleans off the night, hydrates, and protects, with sunscreen as its last step. The evening routine removes sunscreen, makeup, and the day's oil, then treats the skin while it rests and is away from the sun. The weekly routine is built to replace the evening routine once a week and adds deeper care for redness, stinging, and reactions to new products.
