A La Roche-Posay thermal water cream also reduced the formation of sunburn cells in human volunteers after UVB exposure. About the brand: Originating in 1736, Avène is a French skincare brand that’s built on the healing powers of thermal spring water from the South of France. It was first discovered when a horse with alopecia rolled in the spring regularly to soothe its itching skin.
