Avene Thermal Spring Water Mist

I have been using a number of the Avene products for about three weeks now and I have to say I am very impressed. I have the awful problem of combination skin with irritability and redness. Avene products, unlike any others I have found (and believe me I have tried everything, Gatineau, Elemis, Liz Earle, Molton Brown etc)give soothing qualities but also attack oily patches but without drying them out. Of course you have to get the right combination of products. I have used, the Rinse off Gentle gel cleanser which is much less drying than most and allows you to use water, which I know many prefer to tissue off cleanser.

When I was given a free sample of this Avene Spring water spray in Paris I must admit I was skeptical, and put it on the shelf and ignored it.

They are treated by specialist doctors on programs that last a few weeks including many different treatments using ...  Read the complete review

I love this particular product the most out of all the Avene range. At first I thought it would be an uneccessary unessential treat/waste of money... (after all it's only water innit?) Wrong! it's got tiny moisturizing qualities in it, so say for example you need to moisturise but not too much one day because your combination skin has turned a little greasy, you just spray a burst over your face and neck and that will do usually or maybe on a night I would follow it with a tiny bit of moisturiser and hey presto that tiny bit of moisturiser stretches a long long way! Also good to set make up, after applying make up, just spray a quick burst over your make up and ...  Read the complete review
