Made with Avène’s proprietary thermal spring water, this multitasking product boasts more than 45 uses, from calming redness and dryness to soothing sun-exposed skin, and even helping heal minor cuts and scrapes. It’s fragrance- and alcohol-free, which minimizes irritation, and also contains a postbiotic ingredient that supports a healthy skin microbiome.
