The brand has also developed a range of sun care products that provide protection against UVA and UVB rays, while moisturizing and soothing the skin. In this article, we are going to explore Avène sun care products and their benefits.
The sun's UV rays can damage the skin and cause problems such as sunburn, age spots, wrinkles and even skin cancer. Using sun protection is therefore essential to maintain healthy skin and prevent these problems.
The face is the part of our body that is most exposed to the sun, after our hands. So to protect your face from sun damage (brown spots, sunburn, skin aging, wrinkles and fine lines ...), it is very important to use a sun cream adapted to the face every day.
The Avène laboratory formulates its solar protections with a minimum of filters, stable and effective over time, offering optimal protection against UVB and UV .
Avène's line of sun care products includes a variety of products such as sunscreens, mists and lotions . The brand also offers products specially designed for children and sensitive skin. Avène sun care products offer protection against UVA and UVB rays and are water resistant.

Avène sun care products contain a number of key ingredients, including:
Avène sun care products are formulated to be gentle on the skin, but there are certain ingredients that some users may wish to avoid, such as:
The Avène sun care range includes a variety of products to meet all sun protection needs. Here are some of the products available:
For optimal sun protection , it is important to apply Avène sunscreen evenly and in sufficient quantity. It is recommended to apply a generous amount of product (about a teaspoon for the face and an equivalent amount for each limb of the body) at least 15 minutes before sun exposure. It is also important to reapply the product every two hours and after swimming or sweating.
The SPF, or sun protection factor, indicates the amount of protection offered by a sunscreen product. Avène sun care products are available in a range of SPFs, ranging from 30 to 50+ . The SPF you need will depend on your skin type and how long you've been exposed to the sun. People with fair and sensitive skin will need a higher SPF than people with dark or tanned skin.
Avène sun care products provide protection against both UVA and UVB rays , while moisturizing and soothing the skin. The presence of Avène Thermal Spring Water in the products helps soothe the skin and reduce inflammation caused by sun exposure. The physical sunscreens present in Avène products are also more respectful of the environment than chemical sunscreens.
Following the publication of several articles about a request that ANSES would have sent to the government for a restriction of the octocrylene sunscreen , it is important to remember that Klorane , Avène and ADerma sunscreens do not contain of octocrylene.
Eau Thermale Avène, right from its first Ecran Total sunscreen in 1987, has never ceased to advance photoprotection with increasing respect for the environment.
In 2010, the brand took the gamble of launching a research program aimed at removing octocrylene from its sunscreen formulas. In 2013, this program made it possible to replace octocrylene with a combination of 4 sun filters* providing equivalent photoprotection for optimal biodegradability and reduced impact on the marine environment.
And to go even further, Pierre Fabre launched, 2 years ago, its own solar filter, TRIASORB™, the 1st organic filter with the unique feature of absorbing and reflecting the harmful part of the solar spectrum , which includes UVB, short UVA, long UVA but also visible high energy blue light.
TRIASORB™, manufactured in the Pierre Fabre factory located in Gaillac in the Tarn, has also passed numerous tests under experimental conditions to prove its lack of toxicity on 3 key species of marine biodiversity: a species of coral, a species of phytoplankton and one species of zooplankton.

Although Avène sun care products offer effective sun protection, it is important to remember that no product can offer 100% protection. It is therefore important to take other protective measures, such as wearing a hat and sun-protective clothing, as well as avoiding direct exposure to the sun during the hottest hours of the day.
