Unfortunately, almost all of them are performed by the companies themselves, and naturally they show that their product is better than the others, so they should be taken with a grain of salt. (It’s kind of unavoidable though – independent scientists aren’t going to get funding for studying water when there’s cancer to be cured and climate change to undo.) The two best-studied thermal waters are Avène and La Roche-Posay. While this doesn’t necessarily mean that their products are better, it does mean that their effects are more substantiated, for now. What makes this different? This water is naturally isotonic, which means it’s in perfect osmosis with the skin and respects skin cells without altering them. It’s also the most active thermal water.
