I am in cold Canada and just recently bought this product now claiming to be, paraben and fragrance free. So far I love the feel of my skin. I agree the spray water is amazing for settling makeup for the day!

I’ve tried the gentle cleanser which is pink and smells lovely and is great. I was thinking of trying their anti aging eye cream but at 31 euro seems steep for drugstore cosmetics. if anyone else has any notes on the eyecream I’d love to know if it’s worth it.

Avene is awsome!
They have nearly the best anti-aging products in the whole world: look for the Eluag or Ystheal creams, apply it during the night, they contain retinaldehide (vitamin-a or retinol – in very clear and effective form) with using sunscreen every day.
The Hydrance line is heavenly too, it has a Hydrance UV face cream too.
For very severe acne, the Diacnéal cream is perfect – apply it every night, using sunscreen and a mattifiant cream during the day, containing AHA and high %of retinaldehide (wich makes it a very good anti-acne, AND anti-age cream) will clean the skin and take away the inflammations.
Also has very great sunscreens, with modern european sunscreens.
I hope that they sell all of the products in the US, it’s deff worth trying, one of the best products in the EU.

as other people say here in europe (romania) it’s very well known as a good brand.
I always have the thermal water spray with me(at the gym, cycling, sun burn, irritations etc.) and i tried the soothing eye cream which was such a relief for my eyes after i got an irritation from clinique all about eyes.

I have been using the Avene line pretty much religiously now for over 5 years. I developed eczema after my oldest was born and due to other health problems my skin has progressively gotten worse over the years. My eczema has been so bad this year that my dermatologist has me on prescription drugs! My skin is very sensitive and will let me know if it likes a product right away. If my skin says no I break out like crazy!

I LOVE the no-rinse cleanser. Right now because my skin is so dry I am using the milk cleanser – i don’t like it as well because I find it feels a little heavy on my skin, but it does the trick for now. I have used the exfoliating scrub and loved it too. I have also used their cleanance line for acne, I will use the spot treatments and cleansers if I break out, but regular use is too much for my skin. One of my favorites though has to be the thermal water spray. Feels fabulous when my skin is sore – if I have a nasty patch of eczema I spray the thermal water on it and it soothes my skin and quells the itch. I have just picked up some of their anti-aging products and I’m looking forward to trying them out. Don’t want to sound like a walking Avene commercial here, but it has really worked for me and my picky skin.

One word of advice if you are thinking of using the moisturizer my recommendation would be to use the one that is labelled as the light hydrating cream…I found the hydrating cream for sensitive skin (Hydrance Optimale) was too heavy – it also has an SPF 25 in it and it left me looking a fancy shade of white after I put it on! So far its the only product of theirs that I haven’t liked.
