Skin care in 2025 and beyond is looking to the natural, the proven, the tried-and-true.
A French skincare treatment line with over 275 years of expertise, Avène is recommended by dermatologists worldwide especially for those with sensitive skin. At the heart of every formula, is clinically proven Avène Thermal Spring Water to soothe, soften and calm the skin.
Avène has a rich history dating back to 1736. The brand's origin is rooted in the discovery of the soothing properties of Avène Thermal Spring Water in the small village of Avène, located in the Haut-Languedoc Natural Regional Park.
This led to the establishment of the first thermal pool in 1743, attracting visitors seeking treatment for various skin conditions. In 1874, the French government declared the Avène spring to be of "Public Benefit," officially recognizing its therapeutic properties.
In 1975, the Avène thermal spa was acquired by Pierre Fabre Laboratories, marking the beginning of extensive pharmacological and clinical research into the properties of Avène Thermal Spring Water. This research culminated in the creation of the Eau Thermale Avène skincare brand in 1990, offering products specifically formulated for sensitive skin.
At the heart of Avène's products is its Thermal Spring Water, which undergoes a 50-year journey through the Cévennes Mountains, acquiring a unique composition that includes low mineral content and a near-neutral pH. This water has been the subject of over 150 clinical studies, demonstrating its ability to soothe, soften, and calm the skin.
Avène offers a comprehensive range of skincare products tailored for various skin concerns, including:
Hydration: Products designed to maintain optimal skin moisture levels.
Acne-Prone Care: Formulations aimed at managing and reducing blemishes.
Anti-Aging: Solutions targeting signs of aging while being gentle on sensitive skin.
Sun Protection: Sunscreens that provide broad-spectrum protection with minimal irritation.
Each product is formulated with Avène Thermal Spring Water to ensure gentleness and efficacy for sensitive skin.
Avène is committed to environmental sustainability, as evidenced by its ISO 14001 certification for environmental management. The brand ensures that 100% of the energy used at its production site comes from renewable hydroelectric sources, reflecting its dedication to reducing environmental impact.
