Established within the lush expanse of the Haut-Languedoc Regional Park in the South of France, Avene's origins are deeply rooted in the therapeutic properties of its Thermal Spring Water. This unique water, celebrated for centuries for its soothing and anti-irritating properties, laid the groundwork for what would become a globally revered skincare brand. The history of Avene Thermal Spring Water, deemed miraculous from as early as 1736 for its healing capabilities, especially on a horse's skin condition, has played a pivotal role in shaping the brand’s ethos. Following the opening of the first Hydrotherapy Center in 1743, Avene has steadfastly built its legacy on the foundation of this natural spring water, attracting individuals worldwide with various skin conditions seeking relief. The subsequent establishment of the Avene Dermatological Hydrotherapy Center in 1990 further solidified the water's prestigious status in dermatological care.

Today, Avene is a beacon in the world of dermatological skincare, marrying the purity of thermal spring water with cutting-edge scientific research to offer a wide array of products tailored to sensitive, intolerant, or even aging skin. Dedicated to sustainable practices and the conservation of its precious water source, the brand integrates eco-friendly processes across its operations, from product formulation to packaging. Through a commitment to gentle efficacy, backed by clinical studies and dermatologist recommendations, Avene has cemented its reputation as a trusted name in skincare. It stands as a testament to the healing power of nature, harnessed through science to nurture and protect the most delicate skin, promising comfort and radiance for generations to come.
