| Eau Thermale Avene TriAcneal |
First and foremost, do not use the following product if you
are pregnant. Eau Thermale Avene TriAcneal is a highly potent treatment
formulated to prevent blemishes and fade residual marks in adult and adolescent
acne prone skin. Described as an adapted 'dermo-cosmetic' - a dermatology-based
cosmetic, this advanced skincare is a synergy of three active ingredients -
Efectiose, Retinaldehyde and Glycolic Acid. Efectiose is Avene’s patented
anti-inflammatory. It mimics the skin’s own naturally occurring
anti-inflammatory sugars, it mixes with the skin’s own sebum and reduces the
swelling and redness of pimples. Retinaldehyde prevents the thickening of the
skin and the formation of spot-provoking blackheads and whiteheads and it is
antibacterial. Retinaldehyde is involved also in the synthesis of collagen and
elastin fibres which fill and refine pores and reduce residual marks or post-acne scarring. Glycolic Acid, the third active ingredient, has a mild,
non-irritating, exfoliating or skin peeling effect, which ‘decongests’ and
smoothes the skin. Glycolic Acid, an Alpha-Hydroxy-Acid or AHA, extracted from
natural sources sugarcane, pineapple, cantaloupe melon or grapes, eradicates
acne-causing dairy spots and closes open pores, reducing the possibility of
further breakouts. This trio of active ingredients forms a very powerful
product. The Avene Thermal Spring Water contained in all Avene products is
clinically proven to have soothing and anti-irritating dermatological effects
on sensitive skin in particular.
I found when I first applied the Eau Thermale Avene
TriAcneal my skin tingled sensitively. This indicates the product is working
but it is suggested in this case you apply the product less frequently. At
first I made the mistake of applying the product to my entire face overnight.
It tended to redden areas that are already healthy, smooth and acne
free. You should apply Eau Thermale Avene TriAcneal minimally to trouble spots only, oily
patches that are congested or areas post-acne for effective and efficient
results.
