Eau Thermal Avene Review

 Updated On:

Overview

The skin care range Eau Thermal Avene is manufactured by the Company Avene Dermatological Laboratories. The Eau Thermal Avene skin care range uses as its major active ingredient the water from a thermal spring in the Cevennes Mountains in the South of France. This mountain spring, which is known as Sainte Odile, is said to have curative powers for skin problems. One of the main anti -ging products in the Eau Thermal Avene range is called Ysthèal. The official website tells us that Ysthèal by Eau Thermal Avene, as well as containing the spring water from the Sainte Odile Spring, also contains Retinaldehyde and Pretocopheyl.

Product Details

It does not seem as if you can order any of the products in the Eau Thermal Avene range directly from the official website. Some products in the range are available for sale from third-party online shops, however. The official website also gives details of shops in Brooklyn and New York City that sell the Eau Thermal Avene range of skin care products. Although the official website tells us that all of the products contain the water from the thermal spring Sainte Odile, the website does not give detailed ingredient information. We are told that two of the major ingredients in Ysthéal, the main anti-aging product in the Eau Themal Avene range, are Retinaldetyde C.T. and Pretocopheyl, but there is no further ingredient information given.

The official website tells us that Retinaldehyde C.T. is a precursor of Retinoic acid, which is of course a form of Vitamin A. Ysthéal is not the only anti-aging product for sale that contains Vitamin A, and it is a very popular wrinkle fighting ingredient. The official website tells us that Pretocopheyl, which is also contained in Ysthéal, is a stable form of Vitamin E. We are told that it will work to minimize the signs of aging and that it should not be used if you are pregnant. Unfortunately, the website does not give any price details of any products, which makes it difficult to assess whether or not the products in the Eau Thermal Avene range are competitive in terms of price.

The Good

  • There is an official website for the Eau Thermal Avene range of products.
  • They are available for sale from some online shops.
  • The Eau Thermal Avene range is a well established brand.

The Bad

  • The products in the Eau Thermal Avene range cannot be ordered directly from the official website.
  • There are no price details given for the anti-aging products featured on the website.
  • There does not appear to be a money back guarantee upon purchase of a product in the Eau Thermal Avene range of products.
  • There does not seem to be an offer of a free trial sample.

The Bottom Line

We are given no information as to what makes the anti-aging product in the Eau Thermal Avene range more effective than other anti-aging products which also contain Vitamin E and Vitamin A. While these vitamins are beneficial for a user’s skin, we like to see wrinkle treatments that feature more potent, cutting edge ingredients such as peptide complexes.

Our Top Pick For 2009:  Dermapril-SP

Dermapril-SP was rated the best-in-class performer, with a cutting-edge formula and results visible immediately after use. Matrixyl 3000™, the primary active ingredient in Dermapril-SP, is backed by clinical research that showed reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles of as much as 33% after two months of use. Additionally, the formula contains the European miracle ingredient Argatensyl™, which creates an immediate tightening effect on applied areas, making results visible within minutes of use.

The treatment helps the skin regain a more youthful biochemical makeup by supporting the natural production of three building blocks – Collagen, Fibronectin and Hyaluronic Acid. The result is a rapid rejuvenation, diminishing the appearance of wrinkles and other cosmetic signs of age caused by sun exposure, smoking, stress, and other common factors.

In clinical trials, Matrixyl 3000™ decreased the appearance of wrinkles by as much as 33% over a six week period. With the immediate tightening benefits of Argatensyl™, this formula has a completely unique combination of short-term cosmetic results as well as sustained, cumulative benefits to the skin. Common reported results include smoothing and firming; softer skin; diminished appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; and healthier looking, glowing skin. Based on the high cost and quality of the ingredients, Dermapril-SP is reasonably priced. Customer satisfaction seems high and Dermapril-SP offers a risk-free trial, so users can evaluate the product prior to paying the full retail price.
