Product description

Avène is a range of skincare specifically designed for sensitive, intolerant and allergy prone skin. It has its basis in dermatology treatments and is the No. 1 Dermo-cosmetic in France and No. 2 in Europe.

The entire range is based on Thermal Spring Water. The spring water takes a 40 year slow journey underground through the Cevennes Mountains in the South of France and is enriched with precious minerals and trace elements before it finishes its journey in the town of Avène. Of constant composition, Avène Thermal Spring Water has a low mineral content and therefore respects the natural balance and the sensitivity of the skin without causing dehydration or irritation like other high mineral content thermal waters. It is bacteriologically pure, with a neutral pH and rich in silica which soothes sensitive skin.

The Avène Cold Cream Skin Care Range is for very dry/atopic sensitive skin which can characterised by the following symptoms:

• Eczema (Atopic dermatitis) is chronic, itchy inflammation of the upper layers of the skin that often develops in people who have hay fever or asthma and in people who have family members with these conditions.
• Contact dermatitis is skin inflammation caused by direct contact with a particular substance. The rash is very itchy, is confined to a specific area, and often has clearly defined boundaries.
• Psoriasis - reddish, scaly rash often located over the surfaces of the elbows, knees, scalp, and around or in the ears, navel, genitals or buttocks.
• One of the reasons skin can become very dry, is due to the lack of essential fatty acids and ceramides, which are important components of the skin.
• Atopic skin is characterised as a hereditary tendency to experience various forms of allergy, to external or internal factors.
• Both types of skin are extremely sensitive to an array of elements, hence exceptional precautions must be taken to treat and manage very dry/atopic sensitive skin.

Avène Cold Cream is a complete and effective skin care range, protecting dry, sensitive skin.
