About the brand
About Avène
Avène is a French skincare brand from the Pierre Fabre group, named after the village of Avène in the south of France, where its thermal spring is located. Avène Thermal Spring Water is at the heart of the brand and appears in many of its formulas. The brand focuses on sensitive skin, with gentle, fragrance-conscious formulas designed to soothe and comfort. Its Cicalfate+ line is especially well known. Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream helps protect and soothe skin that feels compromised, dry or irritated, while Cicalfate+ Post-Procedure Emulsion is designed for skin after professional treatments, when a light, comfortable texture matters. Thermal Spring Water can be misted over skin throughout the day for a refreshing, calming feel, or before moisturizer. To build a gentle routine, use a mild cleanser, mist with Thermal Spring Water, apply a soothing moisturizer such as Cicalfate+, and finish every morning with sunscreen. Keep your routine short when skin feels reactive, introducing one new product at a time. Always patch test new products and follow the directions on each label.
