[C+-Restore]™: a next-generation active ingredient 

Recent research has shown the importance of the microbiome in the health of our bodies... and our skin.

There is a unique bacterium in Avène thermal spring water which only survives in the deep, crystalline waters of Avène: Aquaphilus dolomiae. It is from a culture of this precious bacterium that the researchers of Avène Dermatological Laboratories have managed to extract [C+-Restore]™, Pierre Fabre’s 1st post-biotic restoring active ingredient derived from Avène Thermal Spring Water. 

A new active ingredient, drawn from the sources of nature, which promotes the restoration of the epidermis

The latest scientific findings on the fundamental role of the microbiome in skin health have led to some exciting innovations in skin restoration. And above all, to an increase in efficiency!

The proven power of good bacteria!

What is the definition of the microbiome? Simply put, the microbiome is the set of bacteria that play a positive role in your body.

These "good bacteria" secrete molecules capable of stimulating restoration in the intestine. Our researchers have transposed this model of optimal restoration to the skin. 

They were able to identify a unique bacterium, specific to Avène thermal spring water: Aquaphilus dolomiae. It is rich in proteins capable of restoring the skin . 

They managed to isolate these molecules. It is from this complex biotechnological process that [C+-Restore]™, a post-biotic active ingredient dedicated to skin restoration, was born.
