Avène

Avène is a small, rural village located in the South of France and is also the place where the French brand's story began.

In 1763, the healing properties of Avène Thermal Spring Water were discovered after a horse was healed from pruritus after swimming in the Orb River. It didn't take long for America and the French Government to realise its potential and the wonders it could do. Now, Avène Dermatological Laboratories sell products to almost 100 countries with each bottle containing its fair share of Avène Thermal Spring Water.

Naturally soothing, antioxidising and gentle on the skin, Avène Thermal Spring Water provides solace for sensitive and irritable skin. Over the years, it has been tried and tested for optimum comfort. It's no surprise GPs, dermatologists and pharmacists all recommend Avène to help heal your skin woes.
