Avène, the sensitive skin brand from dermo-cosmetic expert Pierre Fabre, is about to launch a new range of masks specifically for the booming Asian market. The three SensitiveCell masks, which are tailored for sensitive Asian skin, include Soothing Mask for all sensitive skin, Sensitive White for brighter looking skin, and Hydrance Optimale, a moisture enhancing mask. The sheet masks are each composed of: a specific fibre that adheres better to the face than a cotton sheet; a unique folding system that makes them clean; and easy to use and a highly concentrated formula with an intense diffusion of active ingredients.
