Eau Thermale Avene Thermal Spring Water
For over 270 years, Avène has perfected its formulas to cater to sensitive skin. And the brand’s famed Thermal Spring Water is what it’s known best for. Not your average water, this version has a proprietary postbiotic ingredient that is biotechnologically extracted from Aquaphilus Dolomiae, a unique bacteria found exclusively in Avène Thermal Spring Water. This thermal spray can restore the skin’s barrier, while also calming and soothing skin. The spray has over 7,000 positive reviews on Amazon, too, many of which mention how ideal the formula is for all skin types, but particularly those that are more sensitive. In fact, it’s even ideal for the most sensitive skin: eczema. “Before I sprayed it on, I was covered in dry, red patches, itched like there was a colony of ants under my skin and had about given up my sanity,” one reviewer writes. “After I sprayed myself head to toe, the itching was gone and my most stubborn patches were 80% improved after about an hour of spraying.”
