I have never normally been driven to leave a review, but hope this may be of some help to someone else looking to find a replacement for Avene Tolerance Extreme Cream.
This is the replacement recommended on the Avene website, but contains different ingredients to the product it replaces.
As background information, I have very sensitive skin, and am prone to allergic reactions, but found the previous incarnation of the Tolerance Extreme range to cause no problems.
On applying the new cream, within roughly ten minutes of application, my face had broken out in hives, a rash and angioedema (swelling of deeper layers of the skin that sometimes accompanies an allergic reaction), my lips also became swollen, my skin became unbearably itchy and I had an extreme burning sensation.
I immediately cleaned the product from my face, but it took a liberal application of hydrocortisone cream and a maximum dose of Fexofenadine (a prescription antihistamine) to calm the reaction, the after-effects of which lasted for roughly a week and a half – that is, my skin was sensitised and irritable for that period.
I have yet to find a suitable replacement for the Tolerance Extreme, but will try to post an update if I find one.
Hope this proves useful to someone, and helps avoid someone else suffering a severe allergic reaction to this product.

Very disappointed as it used to work on my eczema but doesn’t anymore. Also the price is horrendous. Why are avene products so expensive. They aren’t that great. The CEO must be living their dream but not your customers. Im done with this brand.
