With a legacy of 275 years in skincare, Avène is celebrated for its ability to care for sensitive and reactive skin. Dermatologists around the globe endorse Avène, which incorporates their signature Thermal Spring Water in every product — a natural remedy for delicate skin.
We are excited to present this esteemed French brand, merging pharmaceutical knowledge with gentle care. Whether your skin struggles with dryness, redness, acne, or eczema, Avène makes caring for sensitive skin straightforward.
From a French Village to Your Skincare Routine
Avène originated in a picturesque village of the same name, nestled along the Orb River in southwestern France. This area, known for its serene beauty, has served as a haven for centuries.
In the 18th century, the village gained attention for its skin-soothing properties, attracting visitors seeking relief for sensitive skin. This growing reputation eventually led to the establishment of the Avène brand, grounded in science and a commitment to gentle care.
Today, Avène blends its rich heritage with modern dermatological science, creating products that are both effective and gentle. Their mission remains clear: to protect, restore, and comfort skin without compromise.
Highlighting Avène Thermal Spring Water
At the core of all Avène products is their Thermal Spring Water, sourced from the Sainte-Odile Spring in the village of Avène. This renowned water starts as pure rain, filtering deep underground and embarking on a 50-year journey through ancient dolomite rock in the Cévennes Mountains.
During this journey, the water becomes enriched with trace elements, silicates, and a unique microflora known as Aqua Dolomiae, granting it exceptional skin-calming properties.
Once it resurfaces, the water emerges in a pristine environment within the Haut-Languedoc Regional Park, free from pollution or modern contaminants.
Bottled at the source, its composition remains unchanged. Its low mineral content ensures it is gentle and suitable even for the most sensitive skin types. A fine mist spray instantly soothes irritation, alleviates redness, and restores balance.
Over 150 clinical studies validate the advantages of Avène’s Thermal Spring Water for diverse skin issues such as acne, eczema, burns, and post-treatment care.
This versatile thermal water can be used in several ways:
- Refreshing after cleansing
- Cooling after sun exposure
- Soothe skin post-shave or waxing
- Setting makeup
- Comforting a baby’s sensitive skin
- Reviving your face during flights
For over two and a half centuries, this pure French water has effectively relieved sensitive skin, remaining one of the simplest yet powerful additions to any skincare regimen.
A Brand Dedicated to Sensitive Skin
Avène aims to enhance the quality of life for all skin types, especially sensitive skin. Their products are not merely labeled as “gentle”; each formula undergoes rigorous quality testing, with dermatologists involved from concept to clinical trials.
Over 150 clinical studies and 50 published articles confirm the safety and effectiveness of Avène’s offerings. This extensive testing ensures that every cream, serum, and sunscreen fulfills its promises, even for the most sensitive skin.
Avène also safeguards the vital resource at its heart. The Sainte-Odile Spring is located within the Haut-Languedoc Regional Park, a 12-square-mile protected area where biodiversity flourishes and human impact is minimized, preserving the water's purity.
