Uriage

Uriage is a French thermal water skincare brand from the Alps, founded in 1992 and named after the thermal springs in Uriage-les-Bains near Grenoble, where a hydrotherapy center has operated since 1823. The brand's Thermal Water is an isotonic water (matching the body's natural mineral concentration), which Uriage claims gives it superior compatibility with skin compared to hypotonic waters used by competitors. The brand is owned by Laboratoires Dermatologiques d'Uriage and focuses on dermatological skincare at the pharmacy level, competing directly with Avene, La Roche-Posay, and Bioderma in the French dermocosmetics market. With 10 products across 5 categories averaging 76/100, Uriage delivers solid thermal water-based skincare with particular strength for sensitive and dehydrated skin.
