Avene

Originating from the South of France along the banks of the Orb River, Avène is a skincare line designed to care for sensitive skin by unlocking the power of thermal spring water. Focused on transformative soothing and efficacy healing, all Avène’s products are backed by science, and they’re clinically proven to target several skin concerns, including acne, aging, dehydration, itchiness, redness, and eczema. Avène aims to improve quality of life by leveraging pharmaceutical heritage and dermatological expertise to create formulations dedicated to soothing sensitive skin.

The key ingredient in Avène formulations is thermal spring water, which is rainwater infused with silicates and trace elements that are effective in relieving skin conditions. Thermal spring water dates back to the 18th century, where people used its therapeutic properties to treat dermatitis, psoriasis, and burns, restoring skin to its original shiny and healthy complexion. Today, Avène sources thermal spring water through stringent extraction techniques to ensure it's completely intact, pure, clear, and safe for use on the skin.

Some of their collections include Retrinal, an anti-aging solution; Xeracalm A.D for eczema-prone skin, Cicalfate for wound care; and Cleanance for blemish-prone skin. Shop the range at Skinstore, the official stockist of Avène in the US.
