If you're wondering where you can purchase products from Avene, they're available online from many retailers in the US, and at Shopper's Drugmart in Canada.
Avene Thermal Spring Water
Thermal Spring Water is one of Avene's top selling products, which they're widely known for. I was a little hesitant at first - why buy speciality water in a spray bottle when it's so widely available? But I've definitely changed my mind. This innovative skincare product is designed to soothe and calm irritated skin, and contains an extremely low salt content in order to prevent redness. It can also help those struggling with combo skin, as its pH of 7.5 is the perfect balance to aid with oiliness and dryness. It's also preservative free, and extremely pure. In addition, it has tons of uses! Spray this onto your skin and leave it for two minutes; it can help reduce inflammation after exfoliation and skincare procedures, and the effects of eczema, keratosis (bumpy, red skin), and sunburn. It can be used after cleansing or exercise, during travel (as a hydrating refresher) and even to set makeup! I love this; my skin always feels smooth and balanced after use, and it really does help calm redness and irritation, as well as unbalanced skin. It's the perfect multi-tasker!
Avene TriAcneal for Skin Imperfections and Residual Marks
This product is made for oily, acne and blemish prone skin. It's clinically proven to reduce the appearance of imperfections, using active ingredients like Efectiose, Retinaldehyde, and Glycolic Acid. The combination of all three helps to reduce the onset of breakouts and soothe the redness and irritation that so often accompanies acne. It also helps prevent scarring, while helping to clear up existing marks. Glycolic Acid is also great at retexturizing rough skin. I apply this, after cleansing, to areas where I frequently get oiliness and acne. It can be a little bit drying, and Avene doesn't recommend applying over a moisturiser (as it reduces the effectiveness of the product), so I only use it every second night. It has a bright yellow colour, and stays on your skin overnight without sinking in, so just be aware of that! You have to wash it off in the morning. In my experience, it's done a great job at keeping oil and blemishes at bay and targeting acne scarring (which I have a lot of).
Avene Antirougeurs Fort Relief Concentrate for Chronic Redness
After hearing that Lisa Eldridge uses this on models and celebrity clients with chronic redness, I had to try it out. I have quite a bit of redness in my cheeks, as well as any redness that might accompany the odd blemish. The product is designed to improve microcirculation, and relieve irritation and inflammation. Active ingredients like Hesperidin Methyl Chalcone protect and strengthen vascular walls over time, and Dextran Sulfate provides decongesting properties and minimizes any swelling that might cause redness. It also contains Avene's famous thermal spring water to help calm and revitalize skin. This product has a creamy, yet still thin consistency, and absorbs quickly into skin. It can be used as a moisturiser in the morning or at night, so that you can hydrate while still fighting redness.
