Nestled in a small village in the Vienne region of France lies a water so distinctive that each year close to 10,000 people visit it for its beneficial effects on the skin.

La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring water — celebrated since the 17th century for its beneficial properties—contains an exceptionally high selenium content (53 ug per liter). Modern scientific research has shown that selenium — a powerful trace mineral and antioxidant found in soil, water, and some foods — prevents agents called free radicals from damaging cells in the body and the skin. These free radicals are created by normal body functions and environmental factors such as sunlight or smoke. This extremely high selenium content and unique mineral composition, also gives the water soothing, softening, and anti-inflammatory benefits. A rare water worthy of its sterling reputation.

The first European Thermal Dermatology Center was founded at La Roche-Posay because of this exceptional water. The center is staffed by a team of 11 distinguished dermatologists and treats close to 10,000 people per year — 30 percent of whom are children. Our thermal-spring-water is used for some of the most common dermatological conditions, including: acne, eczema, rosacea, psoriasis, scars, and burns.

The exceptionally high selenium content of La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water has been shown in 7 clinical studies and published in numerous scientific and dermatological journals*, to help prevent premature skin aging and help treat various dermatoses. The unique antioxidant properties of the water have a proven effect on skin cells subjected to UVA/UVB rays, and also provide anti-inflammatory and anti-irritant benefits.

The number one active ingredient in each La Roche-Posay skincare product is our renowned thermal spring water. So the same profound results seen at the Thermal Dermatology Center can be achieved at home. The dermatologists and scientists at La Roche-Posay Laboratory meticulously formulated each product to deliver a precise level of active ingredients, effectively treating the epidermis without over saturating the skin with superfluous ingredients. Each ingredient has a specific purpose in order to guarantee that the products are safe, effective, and hypoallergenic. And, to make the application process highly pleasurable, the textures are formulated to be exceptionally light and refreshing.
