Uriage skincare products review

In this article, we introduce some of the best Uriage dermo-cosmetics that we have selected and tried for you.

Uriage, a healing thermal water

Uriage-les-Bains is a town in French Alps that is renowned for centuries for its unique Thermal Water. During the invasion of Gaul by the Romans (47 B.C), Romans troops discovered the water healing virtues and built the first thermal bath. The actual Thermal center exists for almost 200 years, is well renowned especially for dermatological treatments.

UriageThermal Water is unique: it travels through the heart of the French Alps, taking 75 years to pass through the rocks. Through its journey, the water becomes enriched with minerals and trace elements, which gives its unique protective, soothing and hydrating properties.

Uriage Dermatological Laboratories were created in 1992 to develop innovative dermo-cosmetic products using thermal water as a core ingredient (the water is collected at source to preserve its purity and natural riches). Since its creation, the brand is one of the most recommended by dermatologists and pharmacists in France, as well as in many countries in the world.
