Ystheal+ Cream is a product developed by Avene Pierre Fabre Laboratoires. The product is for use on the face. Avene Ystheal+ Cream contains a combination of Retinaldehyde C.T. and Pre-tocopheryl as a way to fight the signs of aging while combating dry or very dry skin. Those looking to rid the face of lines and wrinkles without the damaging effects acidic components can have on dry skin are good candidates for this type of product. Avene Ystheal+ Cream is both hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic.

Avene Ystheal+ Cream comes in a 30 ml bottle with pump dispenser. The product is to be applied to the skin nightly before bed. As this is product is European in origin, the cream is made using Avène Thermal Spring Water giving a neutral pH balance. Consistent use yields results in 6-8 weeks.

As with most products for sufferers of very dry skin, the formula of Avene Ystheal+ Cream can seem somewhat greasy. This may prove to be a challenge for those with pores that clog rather easily. Some users also find it can take a little while to completely work the formula into the skin. However, to its credit, Avene Ystheal is completely free of fragrance. Because of the concentration of Retinaldehyde C.T. and Pre-tocopheryl, the product can take some time to get used to, especially for those with sensitive skin. With a number of distributors cutting back on their supply of Avene Ystheal, it can be difficult to find in U.S. stores, making online distributors a best bet. According to the manufacturer, this product should not be used in the area under the eye or by women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Comparison shopping can find Avene Ystheal+ Cream at various prices throughout the mid level price range.
