I recently decided to change up my skincare, mainly because the face wash and moisturiser I had been using were just not cutting it for me anymore, I used to use Garnier makeup remover, face wash and moisturiser but it was a constant battle of dry, oily, spotty skin and my face just never felt clean enough.
I decided I should spend a little bit more on my skin care, I went to boots and looked at multiple different brands that I have never even looked at before, not going to lie I was there for a loooong time and made the mistake of bringing my boyfriend with me (he was ready to knock the stand over) Luckily Boots were having a 3 for 2 and so made the fact I was going to up my spend on skincare a little easier.
I decided to go for a brand I have never used before called Avene or Eau Thermal Avene…not sure which one is right.
I picked up the Cleansing water which is for oily blemish prone skin, it claims to gently eliminate facial impurities and makeup and I have to say after using it for the fourth day in a row I am sold, my face has never felt so clean and soft. The bottle retails at around £15 but you get 400ml and I think this is going to last me a long time.
I next choose a new moisturiser, I couldn't decide between the Avene Rich Hydrating cream and the Light Hydrating cream as this can mean completely different things in different brands so I decided to buy both since it was 3 for 2 and then I could test them out. I have to say i love them both, I prefer to use the lighter one at night and the richer one during the day as it makes my foundation go on so smoothly. Both moisturisers retail for around £14 so again a little pricey but compared to other moisturisers I am using a lot less and it seems to be going a lot further. I don't know if this is just because it costs more and I'm subconsciously doing that.
Overall I am very impressed so far and hope to try more things from their range. I wanted to write this review as I had believed for years that cheaper brands were just as good but I have honestly proved my self wrong.
I would love to know what everyone else things of this brand?
