Recently in Avene Category

I've been a fan of Avene products for a couple of years now and I picked this up at the store along with a couple of other Avene products without giving much thought to it because it was on sale and I would always need eye creams. I didn't use it till 3 weeks ago and like all the Avene products I have used, this one didn't disappoint.

I was spending time in the sun, swimming more and the area around my eye got very dry and tight from the rays and the chlorine. This eye cream helped relieve and treat all of those symptoms quickly and effectively.

Chock full of Avene's thermal spring water and Alpha-bisabolol, this white cream slaters on easily to envelope the delicate eye area with a coating of moisture to reduce redness and tightness. Extracts of Dextran Sulfate helps relieve puffiness while anti-oxidants help combat everyday aggressions.

My eyes were hydrated, looked healthier and fresher and gone were the irritations. Its small, compact size makes this great to travel with.

Contrary to popular belief, oily skin has its dry and flaky moments too just like any other skin type. Harsh soap, dry climate and acne treatments are just some of the contributing factors that dehydrate skin.

I recently had to deal with a sudden breakout arising from stress and sudden climate change and my treatment plan left my skin tight, uncomfortable and flaky. I found this at the Avene counter at the drugstore and I jumped on it. I am a fan of Avene products and I was so throughly impressed with this.

This moisturizer is specially formulated to help your skin deal with dry and harsh acne treatments. With a very high concentration of Avene thermal spring water, this goes and glides on smoothly to rehydrate and balance blemish-prone skin. You can feel the effect instantly and it worked after just one application.

The best thing about this, is that it is lightweight enough to be used on top of your regular acne treatment moisturizer. Use it day/night whenever your skin needs a boost of moisture. My flaky skin stopped peeling and the tightness was gone. Just like that.

A must have for every acne treatment program. Get this for US$16 (1.35oz/40ml) at Drugstore.com.

In life, accidents happen and sometimes shit hits the fan. It could be at work, at home or after a skin treatment. For me, it was after a skin treatment - the laser was too harsh on my skin and I had a small spot on my nose as a reminder to not think that I know better all the time; because I don't.

I picked this up at the store as soon as I realized the redness was not going to subside in hours; it had started flaking and was looking a tad inflamed. I applied this and hoped for the best. This turned out to be a bit of a skin saver.

After the first day, the burnt spot decreased in size and redness while looking less visible. The flaking had stopped and the skin around it looked less irritated. After 5 days and 3 applications daily, no one could tell or notice I recently had an abused spot.

This fast acting concotion of copper sulfate and zinc sulfate work together to help maintain a productive skin environment for repair and recovery. Mirconized sucralfate aids in the maintence of the fragile skin barrier and helps minimize irritation. Like all Avene products, this cream is chock full of Avene thermal water to help calm and soothe your skin.

You can use this on any open wounds; cuts, bruises, post-dermalogical treatmets etc and it is also gentle enough for use on infants. This is a must have for any first aid-kit.

Running around Tuscany and Paris, dealing with lost luggage, long days and underwhelming pseudo avant garde hotels left me with unwanted zits and spots across my face.

To combat both spots and dehydrated skin; with its high levels of Avene Spring water, I turn to this spot zapper from Avene.

This emergency spot treatment helps kill bacteria and relief the uncomfortable symptoms of zits; like redness and dryness. So you don't have to pile on another moisturizer just to combat the dryness of the winter months.

This is definitely friendly on sensitive, dehydrated and oily ski dried out due to weather. Zap your zits, calm your skin and maybe tomorrow, you won't have to go through the hassle of claiming travel insurance.

I find myself with the occasional zit and they pop up no matter how clean my face is. Since I sleep with the air-conditioner most everyday, I've been looking for a product that would keep the zits at bay and not add to the dryness of my skin at night. I found this 6 months ago and it's great because it's got both AHA and BHA which gently exfoliate the skin to lessen the marks left behind by those zits. It also has an extract of Cucurbita Pepo and Zinc Gluconate which help minimise sebum production while purifying the skin when used during the day. Along with Salicylic acid and Avene spring water, this handy moisturizer keeps the zits at bay when you sleep while soothing and softening your skin. Pretty handy to have around.
