OUR SUN PROTECTION EXPERTISE

Innovations to protect your skin

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 skin protection. All of this combined with the benefits of Avène thermal spring water, known for over 60 years for its softening, soothing, and anti-irritating 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.

UNPARALLELED EFFECTIVENESS

The best of our laboratory research

When it comes to sun protection, Avène Thermal Spring Water Suncare has always been a pioneer: producing anti-UVA filters and photostable UVB filters.

Today, our Research & Development teams are taking a decisive step forward with the creation of TriAsorB™, the first Pierre Fabre organic sun filter. Above all, TriAsorB™ is the first Pierre Fabre organic filter 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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do you have a question or concern? We’re always here for you

We know some of the risks (and the list is long): sunburn, allergies, skin ageing, ,... But we sometimes ignore the reasons, although they are crucial. UVB-UVA radiation as well as the high-energy blue light that our skin absorbs 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.

The mineral suncare range, which has no fragrance or chemical filters. It's the perfect balance between sun protection and optimal skin tolerance.

We make it a point of honour to protect your skin and support an eco-conscious you. Our products are formulated with a minimum of non-water soluble sunscreens, without silicone for optimal biodegradability, and minimal impact on coral*, zooplankton* and phyptoplankton* in order to respect marine biodiversity.
