We are all familiar with the damaging effects of UVA and UVB rays on our skin and French skincare brand Eau Thermale Avène has always focused on creating products that protect even the most sensitive skin.
However, the effects of HEV – (high Energy Visible) rays or blue light rays are lesser known. These rays are emitted from our electronic screen devices from phones, laptops, tablets, TVs, as well as fluorescent and LED lighting and can cause damage to skin including accelerating the signs of ageing from fine lines and wrinkles to pigmentation and dullness as a result of oxidative stress from these rays.
These days we are all spending an increased amount of time on screens connecting with friends and family, working remotely and on our phones and these HEV rays have the capacity to penetrate deep layers of the skin causing un-seen damage.
There is a simple step you can take to protect your skin from UVA/B and HEV rays. By using a mineral based, physical sunscreen you can protect your skin whether you are sitting at your laptop or taking in the sunshine outdoors.
Avène’s Tinted Mineral Fluid SPF50+ is a physical mineral sunscreen meaning it offers full protection by reflecting against both UV and HEV rays.
Avène’s Tinted Mineral Fluid SPF50+ is a light, tinted matt-finish sun care fluid which offers high protection while leaving a beautiful sheer glow on the skin. Formulated using only mineral based filters, this wonder product provides optimum protection for even the most sensitive skin.
Avène products are available from pharmacies nationwide.

Since mid-March, staff from Pierre Fabre, the company behind French brands Eau Thermale Avène and Klorane, has fully mobilized dermo-cosmetics plants in Soual, southwest France, and in Areal in the State of Rio de Janeiro to produce hydroalcoholic gel, in an effort to assist with the current global shortage of the product as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
In the context of the unprecedented and worldwide public health emergency caused by Covid-19, hydroalcoholic gel has become an absolute necessity. Hospitals, pharmacists and pharmacy staff are on the front line in the fight against the virus and need it to protect themselves in exercising their duties and to meet the exponential and huge demand of their patients.
As the long-standing partner of dispensing pharmacists, the Pierre Fabre Group was eager to assist where possible and while hydroalcoholic gel is not a product usually manufactured by Pierre Fabre, the teams in its laboratories worked tirelessly to find means of producing the essential product for distribution throughout pharmacies and hospitals in the 4 most affected European regions of France, Spain, Italy and Germany as well as in Brazil.
Pierre Fabre is in permanent contact with component and packaging suppliers to increase these volumes in the coming weeks and cover more markets if possible.
The Pierre Fabre Group extends its heartfelt thanks to its staff and partners who are working hard make this operation a success.
