I'm back with a review on one of my favourite products, Avène's 'Thermal Spring Water'.
So initially, after reading a few reviews on the blogosphere, I was a bit skeptical by the claims exhibited by this "can of water". For spring water in a can, it's a bit pricey...But after reading this post, you'll soon know why I love it so much.
I was first drawn to this product after experiencing some redness to my whole face. It was a cold day and my face, triggered by some unknown factor, became all red and hot. It took me a few hours to subdue the redness. I went home, hopped onto Google and my first hit led me to this product.
After snagging this product at a sale at the Chemist Warehouse, I began using it where applicable.
I mainly use this product, after a nice hot shower, to calm the skin and not dehydrate it (after using harsh chemicals to cleanse my face plus it's WINTER), after I remove my makeup, when my face feels heated up, when I need a "perk-me-up", after the gym, or when I just want to feel that pleasurable feeling on my face upon application! (I'm actually getting addicted to using this!)
So basically, the Thermal Spring Water can is spring water, bottled in a sterile unit - sourced from the Avène Thermal Spring (in France). A bit of a fun fact (found on the can): the site was declared to be of "Public Interest in Dermatology" since 1874!
The product claims to have health and beauty benefits; it's suitable for all degrees of sensitivity, offers instant relief, gentle for use on face and body and soothes and calms sensitive skin! (Source: Avene Website).
(Do not shake!)
Pros:
- feels great on my face - refreshing and perks me up!
- soothes and calms my skin
- suitable for all skin types including sensitive
- lovely thin mist upon spraying
- available in 3 sizes (50 mL, 150 mL, 300 mL) so you can choose what suits you best for your situation! ( I chose the 300 mL (bit big) - more value for money)
- suitable for a range of applications and purposes
- can be used to set makeup
- can be used to complete makeup removal
- can be used for after hair removal care, or treat razor burn
- can be used on both adults and infants (babies - assist with diaper irritations)
- can be used to treat facial redness, itching, sunburns and discomfort (damaged/dehydrated skin) or after a surgical procedure
- can be used during travel, after exercise, during travel and in Summer
Cons:
- can be a bit pricey, depending on your budget
This product retails for $24.99 (for 300 mL size) at Priceline but you can get it cheaper with the smaller sizes (50 mL or 150 mL - perfect for popping into your handbag) or at the Chemist Warehouse when they have a sale.
I would definitely repurchase this product for the pros outlined above. It's become part of my skincare routine and I simply can't live without it now!
I hope you enjoyed this post!
A lot of people ask whether the 'can of water' really is worth it! But I absolutely swear by Avene's Thermal spray because I have super duper sensitive skin! It calms skin like no other.
ReplyDeleteIt's really good on top of make up too!
I concur!
DeleteMy opinion about this product has completely changed! Love this stuff!
I will try setting my makeup with it soon! :)
I love the Avene Thermal spray! It feels so soothing and refreshing on the skin and I love spraying it before I apply my facial oils and moisturisers :)
ReplyDeleteMy exact thoughts! I also do this as well! :)
DeleteI absolutely love this stuff - I have a huge can at home, one of the small 50ml ones in my handbag at all times, and backups of both LOL. It's just so refreshing and soothing, and I love that it doesn't dry your skin out at all. And the aerosol can disperses a super fine mist, it's so nice when it's sprayed on :)
ReplyDeleteI feel exactly the same way about this product!
DeleteExcellent product :)
