New for 2012 from Eau Thermale Avene :
D-Pigment
– Dark spot Lightener
Specially designed to help those suffering
from hyperpigmentation such as sun spots, age spots, liver spots and dark or
brown patches of skin, apparently that’s over 55% of us in the UK. Not surprising as one of the most common
conditions is the age spot. Whether you've decided to grow old gracefully or
disgracefully, we’re probably all in agreement with Lady Macbeth as she
shrieks ‘Out damned spot!’.
What does it do?
It corrects localised or widespread brown
spots
Prevents the appearance of new brown spots
Evens out the complexion
The active ingredients:
Melanyde - a depigmenting active which slows
down the synthesis of melanin (dark pigment) by inhibiting the activity of the
enzyme responsible for the melanin production
Retinaldehyde - skin lightening active
derived from Vitamin A
Pre-tocopheryl – protective antioxidant
which prevents the stimulation of melanin producing cells by free readicals.
Fragrance and paraben free D-Pigment is to
be used in the evening and applied on the dark areas. It is available in two
formulations:
Light – offering a highly absorbent texture
with shine reducing powders for normal to combination skin
Rich – based on nourishing plant based oils
and glycerine for dry to very dry skin
Price £35 for 30ml
Micellar
Lotion
A new cleanser and make-up remover for
sensitive skin. The micelles (electrically charged particles) gently remove
impurities, excess oil and traces of make-up. Can also be used on the eye
area. This no rinse formula is enriched with 96% Avene Thermal spring
Price £12.50 for 200ml
First launched in France in 1990, Eau Thermale Avene reached the UK in 2000. All
products are based on Avene thermal spring water which is renowned for its
therapeutic properties. (apparently discovered around the 1730’s when locals
noticed a horse with a severe skin disease had cured itself by drinking and
rolling in the waters)The water’s low mineral and salt content is ideal for
sensitive skin and its high silica content soothes and softens the skin.
