Avene Thermal Spring Water - 300ml

Avene Thermal Water is an ultra-fine thermal water mist. It claims to have a unique mineral composition and postbiotics (think of probiotics, they produce metabolites called postbiotics!) in its thermal water which makes it hydrating to the skin. I have dry, sensitive skin and I found it worked best as my first toner in my AM and PM routines. Once I finished cleansing, I would spray this liberally on my face and neck before applying actives and serums. It is also great as a facial mist throughout the day, especially in hot weather, after reapplying sunscreen or powder (applying a mist after powdering gives the skin a 'skin-like' look, not too dewy, just hydrated). The pros: this is perfect for dry, sensitive skin and it truly did soften my skin! It feels like when ... MoreAvene Thermal Water is an ultra-fine thermal water mist.

The pros: this is perfect for dry, sensitive skin and it truly did soften my skin! It feels like when you spend the day swimming in spring water, your skin comes out soft for days. The cons: although I loved it, the price for the product outweighs its benefits compared to toners/serums formulated with actives (like hyaluronic acid, licorice root, etc) that softened my skin AND gave it additional benefits. I feel like this product would be great as an 'in addition to' product, but I love my toners and serums being pack full of actives!

I was skeptical at first, but after buying a bottle at Ulta while they had a nice coupon going on I’m convinced that this will be an essential step to my skincare routine! Your skin absorbs other products better when it’s still wet. I love how fine the mist is from this bottle, and it’s literally just nice water. After patting it in it dries within a few minutes minute and leaves my face feeling baby soft and smooth. I also spray before putting on skin soothing toner, then my face lotion, layering while my face is still wet. There’s also no smell to it, so it really is perfect for people with sensitive skin.

Meh, what can I say-- personally I think it's a bit of a gimmick to sell water in a spray can. Not only is it wasteful for our environment, but it's not really a necessary step in your routine. I get that water in spray format might come in handy with makeup, and that's about the only time I've found this to be truly helpful. It is nice to spray a bit on your blending sponges or on your brushes to help the product 'stick' provide a more 'translucent', even finish. Other than that, this product doesn't contain any ingredients that are going to 'tone' your skin or provide really any beneficial skincare progress. Instead of adding an unnecessary product to your routine, just dip your brushes/sponges in tap (or filtered) water for the same effect. I personally prefer to ... MoreMeh, what can I say-- personally I think it's a bit of a gimmick to sell water in a spray can.

Save the money ( environment)

I bought this because I needed something water based to spray my face with when I am doing microcurrent at home. The conductive serums and gels required for microcurrent devices to work usually dry very fast and you need to keep re applying them (they are very expensive) - instead I learned that you can spray this water to soften and prolong the serum/gel as it dries. It works amazingly. On its own it is also amazing and hydrating. You can use it after the shower or any time during the day to refresh your makeup. It is so fine it won’t ruin or wet your makeup. Just go from very far! Little word of caution though… kids love this thing… I have to hide my bottle. They think it is a toy! 😂 you need to try this!

Avene's Thermal Spring Water works wonders!!

I have found the Avene Thermal Spring Water to be a wonderful product as it helps ease my mother and her itching back. We have yet to figure out why her back itches so much but this product has provided much relief and she is ever so grateful that it does. I have tried so many products but this one has saved the day. My mother has very dry skin whereas I have oily skin so I have learned to try products for one extreme to another. I have been a fan of Avene's products for a long time; I find them to be worth every penny and they are gentle on the skin. The Thermal Spring Water is great for refreshing your skin on a hot summer day!!

PURCHASE QUICKLY!

I don't know what they put in this water but this is the best purchase I've ever made. I have this in every size, and I've been using this for over a year. I have oily acne prone skin and this! This!!!! It can be used as a toner, refresher, it can shear down thick products. Avene performed magic with this. I know I sound ridiculous but I'll repurchase this forever. This isn't normal water! You'll literally see and feel the softness and hydration in your skin. They'll get my money every time.

Soothing and hydrating moisturizer

At 42, I began to deal with cystic/nodular acne. So, my dermatologist prescribed me acne treatments (Doxycycline, Clindamycin topical gel, retinol) to treat my acne. The treatments caused my skin to react by becoming dry, flaky and itchy. Redness on my cheeks also appeared. This moisturizer targeted these reactions amazingly well. It soothes my skin - reduces redness and itchy skin and hydrates my skin - removes my dry and flaky skin! After applying this moisturizer, I can easily apply my makeup without any of these skin irritations. All of my skin's reactions from the treatments are gone - like magic! I use in combination with the Cleanance Hydra soothing face wash and thermal spring water toner spray. The scent of the products are amazing too! Would recommend to ... MoreAt 42, I began to deal with cystic/nodular acne. So, my dermatologist prescribed me acne treatments (Doxycycline, Clindamycin topical gel, retinol) to treat my acne.

Trying to love it.

I purchased this based on the glowing reviews as my work place is very dry. It feels very nice after using for a few minutes, but my face seems to get dry very quickly right away. I'm not sure that my expectations simply aren't out of line as the single ingredient in it is: water. However, the reviews indicate this is a miracle. Maybe there is some trick I'm missing that leads to it not being needed all day long. Generally speaking, my skin isn't super dry. It's just at work. So, I think I'll use this up and look for something else with a little more to it.
