French Dermotological skincare for sensitive, intolerant and allergy prone skin.

Eau Thermale Avene is the No.1 Dermo-Cosmetic in France and No.2 in Europe for all products sold through the pharmacy channel. It is a range that combines pharmaceutical ethics with cosmetic appeal, has its basis in dermatology treatments and was designed specifically for the needs of sensitive, intolerant and allergy prone skin.

All Avene products are based on the soothing and non-irritating properties of Avene Thermal Spring Water. This thermal spring water spends nearly 40 years travelling through the earth and rocks in the south of France before it lands in a spring in the town of Avene. The water has a low mineral content, has a pH close to neutral and is rich in silica and trace elements. Because it is bottled directly at the source of the spring, it is bacteriologically pure and unaltered in any way from its original form.

For centuries, the Thermal Spring Water has been used to treat serious skin conditions such as burns, eczema and psoriasis and is the basis of remedial treatments at the Avène Hydrotherapy Centre in France.

In the two and a half centuries since the Avene Thermal Spring was discovered in the depths of the earth in the heart of Southern France, it has continued to be revered for efficacy and relief in the treatment of skin ailments, particularly skin inflammation and irritation.

To ascertain your degree of sensitivity, please read below.

First Degree - Sensitive: your skin is naturally sensitive if you easily experience unpleasant feelings such as tingling, tightness, inflammation or a burning sensation. Your skin will often react to external aggressors such as the wind, cold or sun. You are sometimes prone to redness.

Second Degree – Intolerant: Intolerant skin is easily traumatised by external factors and often reacts to a number of products. Sometimes it seems like there is nothing you can use. Not only does it experience stinging and tightness, but it can also be prone to redness and scaling. You need to use products that have a minimum of ingredients and lessen the chance of reaction.

Third Degree – Allergic: Sometimes intolerances become true contact allergic reactions characterised by dermatitis, eczema and swelling. At this stage you should contact your doctor to determine the ingredient that is causing the allergy and obviously avoid it in the future.

FAQ

Is the Avène range suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes the Avène range is specifically formulated for sensitive skin catering to all skin types that experience sensitivity such as Dry/Dehydrated Skin, Normal/Combination Skin, Oily/Blemish Prone Skin, Atopic skin, Reddened Skin, Ageing Skin, Men's Skin & Dry Irritated Skins.

Why is the range suitable for sensitive skin?

Avène is suitable for sensitive skin due to the high content of Avène Thermale Spring Water in each product which is known for its non-irritating and soothing properties.

I have tried everything, even products that claim to be for sensitive skin, I react to all of them. What would you recommend in the Avène range?

If you react to every product that you put on your skin then we would say that your skin is intolerant and we would therefore recommend that you keep your skin care regime simple, don't mix brands as they can react with each other. For people with an intolerant skin we would recommend a simple skin care regime of Extremely Gentle Cleanser, Avène Thermal Spring Water and Skin Recovery Cream. These products contain minimal ingredients and are fragrance, paraben and alcohol free.

Can people with a Normal Skin use the Avène range?

Yes of course, you do not need to have sensitive skin to use the Avène products. The advantage of using the Avène range is that the products are free of ingredients that can commonly cause irritation.

Do your products contain parabens?

Specifically for the face, Extremely Gentle Cleanser & Skin Recovery Cream do not contain parabens. The men's products, Hydrance, Pediatril, Cleanance, Micellaire, Gentle Toner, Soothing Mask, Soothing Eye Cream, and Trixera are all paraben free

Are Avène products tested on animals?

All tests are conducted on volunteers so that we can ensure that everything about the product is pleasurable from the packaging to the texture of the product.

Do you have products for Oily/Pimply skins and are they drying on the skin?

Yes we do have a range for sensitive oily skins prone to pimples. This range is not drying on the skin as the cleanser is soapless and pH adjusted. The range is called Cleanance.

Can I use the Cleanance range if I am taking prescription acne drugs such as Isotretinoin?

No. Isotretinion can severly dry out the skin and as such you should not use the Cleanance range. We suggest that you try Extremely Gentle Cleanser and Skin Recovery Cream which is for very intolerant and reactive skin.

At what age would you recommend an anti-ageing product?

We normally recommend that you start using an anti-ageing product from thirty years and on. Some people do start earlier than this.

Can you take the Avène Thermal Spring Water Aerosols into the cabin on an aircraft?

Yes you can take the 50ml can into the cabin as long as they have the lid on.

What is the difference between the two anti-ageing products Ysthèal + Emulsion and Eluage Cream?

Both products contain Retinaldehyde (an active form of Vitamin A) however Ysthèal + Emulsion also has Pre-tocopheryl (Vitamin E) whereas Eluage Cream has Hyaluronic Acid fragments. Ysthèal + Emulsion is more suitable for a normal to combination skin and Eluage Cream more suitable for a dry/dehydrated skin or mature skin.

Which product should I use if my skin is prone to flushing/redness and/or Rosacea?

Our recommendation would be to cleanse with Extremely Gentle Cleanser, spray/tone with Avène Thermal Spring Water and then moisturise the entire face. If you are prone to Rosacea you would introduce Dirosèal Cream at night to the areas that are prone to redness (usually the cheeks and nose). You would apply this to the effected areas after your moisturiser has absorbed (approx 15mins). Diroseal contains Retinaldehyde which assists with microcirculation.
