AVENE

In 1736, there was a discovery made in the heart of Southern France—the waters of the Avene Thermal Spring. The spring travels for 40 years underground through the Cevennes Mountains. On its journey it is enriched with precious metals and trace elements before emerging in the town of Avene. The thermal water is naturally soothing, perfect for all types of skin: normal, sensitive, allergy prone, and even hyper-sensitive. The reason that the Avene spring has such soothing qualities is because the water is bacteriologically pure, with a neutral pH and high silica content. Avene water also has a low mineral composition, unlike other thermal waters, so it doesn’t cause dehydration in the skin. Dermatologists worldwide recommend using Avene products for sensitive skin—especially skin that is acne prone, atopic or extremely reactive.

In 1743, a Hydrotherapy Center was built near the spring, and the mission of this center has remained the same over the centuries: a dedication to dermatology. The Hydrotherapy Center has used the healing properties of Avene water to treat conditions such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema and burns. The Avene skin care product line launched in 1993 was designed to allow the public to capture the same benefits of the therapeutic waters. There have been over three hundred rigorous clinical, pharmacological, and biological studies conducted on Avene thermal spring water to confirm its soothing, healing and cosmetic benefits. All Avene products are formulated with Avene spring water and bottled directly from the source, allowing consumers to treat all types of sensitive skin, including intolerant sensitive skin, dry and dehydrated skin, oily/acne-prone skin, redness or rosacea, atopic sensitive skin, as well as a special line exclusively for men. There are also product lines designed for anti-aging purposes. The entire Avene product line is clinically proven to soothe, soften and calm even the most sensitive skin.
