Fancy French Fabulousness


Hooray! Another product to keep us ladies from looking like decrepit old hags!

Which, as I've mentioned before, I am all about these days! 

Eau Thermale Avene Innovation D-Pigment Riche is based on the principle of three active ingredients scientifically recognized by dermatologists to reduce excess pigmentation: Melanyde, Pre-tocopheryl and Retinaldehyde.

Ooooh, sounds fancy! Plus, it's French! 

Avene actually has a laboratory and hydrotherapy center in southern France where they treat patients with dermatological disorders with Avene Thermal Spring Water. Declared to be of "public interest" since 1874, the spring has a unique, anti-irritating composition that's been scientifically proven to improve skin quality and sensitivity. The skin care line is based on the water and developed with the most sensitive and intolerant skin types in mind.

The D-Pigment Riche should be applied in the evening to concerned localized or extensive areas. Optimal effectiveness of course means regular and prolonged use. 

I really love this product.  It sinks right in, leaving skin feeling soft and supple, and it's inclusion of three specific scientific complexion boosters leaves me confident for seeing fantastic long-term results. 

And who wouldn't say "Oui! Oui!" to that?!

Eau Thermale Avene D-Pigment Riche can be found at drugstore.com and dermstore.com and retails for $49.

Eau Thermale Avène invites you to take the Cleanance Clear Skin Challenge

The fight against acne in pursuit of clear, blemish-free skin can take you on a long, frustrating journey. The Eau Thermale Avène Cleanance Blemish Control Solution Kit for blemish-prone skin steers you in the right direction by helping to eliminate clogged pores, blackheads and blemishes—without irritation. And now the road to clearer skin could also lead you to Avène, France!
From October 2012 through February 2013, Eau Thermale Avène invites you to take the Cleanance Clear Skin Challenge. To participate, contestants are asked to post their “Before” photos to the Avène Facebook page, and then use the Cleanance Blemish Control Solution Kit, as directed, for six weeks. Contestants will then be prompted to share their “After” photo. The person whose photos show the most improvement using the Cleanance Skin Care Regimen after six weeks will win a five-day trip for 2 to Avène, France.
Avène, a quaint town located in the southwest of France, is the home of the Saint-Odile spring, the source of Thermal Spring Water. Originating as rain, the water filters through the Cévennes Mountains absorbing precious minerals and trace elements for 40 years until it reaches the mouth of the ancient Sainte-Odile spring. While in Avène you will have the opportunity to visit the renowned Avène Hydrotherapy Center, a state-of-the-art medical facility which treats skin conditions in adults and children and is recognized by the French Government for its therapeutic benefits. The Winner will be invited to experience Avène’s signature hydrotherapy treatments in addition to SensiCure specialized facial treatments.
To send you on your way to clear skin, the kit includes Eau Thermale Avène Thermal Spring Water, Cleanance Gel Soapless Cleanser, Cleanance Toner, and Cleanance K Cream-gel. At the core of every Avène skin care product is Avène Thermal Spring Water, the only thermal spring water bottled directly from the source and packaged in a sterile environment to guarantee purity and maximum benefits to soothe and soften skin. Cleanance Gel Soapless Cleanser removes impurities and excess oil without stripping the skin while maintaining the skin’s natural pH balance. Cleanance Toner, a paraben-free, oil-absorbing toner, helps to tighten and minimize the appearance of pores, leaving skin with a fresh, shine-free finish thanks to mattifying Silica powders. Both the cleanser and toner are formulated with patent-pending Glyceryl laurate, clinically proven to prevent blemishes by limiting sebum production. Rounding out the kit is Cleanance K Cream-gel. Formulated with AHAs Glycolic Acid and Lactic Acid and BHA Salicylic Acid, the cream-gel deep cleans to help eliminate clogged pores, blackheads and blemishes and contains mattifying powders for instant shine control. Cucurbita pepo (pumpkin seed oil) helps to regulate sebum production.
To help support your transformation, throughout the course of the contest Avène will send you weekly tips to support and guide you. Take the first step to clearer skin with Avène!
Here’s how you can enter:
· Purchase the Cleanance Blemish Control Solution Kit, found at participating retailers and online at Dermstore.com (To find retail locations visit www.aveneusa.com.)

Avene: Anti-bad skin!

Avene

Ysthéal+ lotion

Oddly carrot colored lotion, more of a cream consistency.
No real smell.
My skin LOVES it!!!!!!!!!!
Holy moley.
I usually don't use anything that contains mineral oil, but I gave this a try--clear, smooth skin!
I just put this on at night & voila!
I wonder what else I've been missing out on...

Avene Thermal Spring Water

Not sure exactly where to post this, it could also go in the Lotions & Potions blog. It is multi-functional;)

Avene Thermal Spring Water is spray-on water.
It sounds ridiculous, but it feels so good.
It is hot & sticky here, and the Avene sprays cool & clean.
I like to spray before bed, when I'm overheated...
Yes, I know it's just water, but it is fancy French mineral water.
I don't care how big a sucker this makes me, I am all about this little can of water & it's cooling effects!

I am addicted! I wish it came in a gallon size.

Avene oily skin products

AVENE
Cleanance soap-free facial cleanser
Cleanance anti-shine regulating lotion
These 2 products seem to work well enough, but I had to stop using them after a couple of tries, as the scent is VERY powerful. Not a bad smell, smells like the Gap Heaven perfume, but too much for me!
The cleanser is concentrated, so you only need a bit. The container with its twisty-dispensing is really cool, but hard to work with wet hands.

Cleanance acne spot treatment
Nice, not too harsh anti-zit cream with salicylic acid.
Smells so neutral, it's almost a non-scent.
Works well.
