We all dream of enjoying the sun and getting a healthy glow without the sun's harmful effects. But is it really possible to tan sunless, in the shade, or in the middle of winter? Yes, thanks to self-tan! But you need to choose wisely... and apply it well! Instructions for use
Skin exposed to the sun is fragile and even weakened. How to take care of your skin after being out in the sun There are several essential steps to take which have two purposes: protecting you during sun exposure and moisturising afterwards.
For 30 years, we’ve been putting sun care products at the heart of our innovation to improve efficacy, tolerance and comfort.
Our unique Sunsitive® protection combines a patented filtering system with photostable, water-resistant UVA-UVB protection and a unique antioxidant complex for complete cellular protection. All of this combined with the benefits of Avène thermal spring water, known for over 60 years for its soothing, anti-irritating and softening properties.
The effectiveness of each of our Avène Thermal Spring Water Sun Care products is proven by numerous in vitro and in vivo studies. In particular, we have conducted a clinical study under real-life conditions, which has demonstrated a powerful DNA-protective effect**. We are also committed to working with patients, health professionals and the European Skin Cancer Foundation to raise awareness of the dangers of the sun and prevent the risk of skin cancer.
When it comes to sun protection, Avène Thermal Spring Water Suncare has always been a pioneer: we were the first to produce anti-UVA filters and the first photostable UVB filters.
Today, our Research & Development teams are taking a decisive step forward with the creation of TriAsorB™, the first Pierre Fabre sun filter. Above all, TriAsorB™ is the first sun filter with exceptional photoprotection, extended to a highly dangerous part of the sun's radiation: high-energy visible blue light.
This is a huge step forward for current and future generations who need confidence in effective, safe care more than ever.
We know some of the risks (and the list is long): sunburn, allergies, skin ageing, reduction of sun capital, cancer... But we sometimes ignore the reasons, although they are crucial. UVB-UVA radiation as well as the high-energy blue light that we absorb during prolonged exposure causes real skin damage. UVB rays do not penetrate far beyond the epidermis, whereas UVA rays penetrate more deeply. Their damage is therefore less visible and can be detected in the long term. As an extension of UVA, blue HEV light causes deep cellular damage to the skin over the long term by attacking all the cellular components: lipids, proteins and DNA.
We make it a point of honour to protect your skin and respect the environment. Our products are formulated with a minimum of non-water soluble sunscreens, without silicone for optimal biodegradability, and without any impact on coral*, zooplankton* and phyptoplankton* in order to respect marine biodiversity. Not to mention that all the ingredients we use have been carefully selected by scientific experts to meet three objectives: safety, effectiveness and tolerance. They are chosen and perfectly balanced to create the best for you (and for the oceans)!
