Comforting care and very high sun protection in one tube, for sensitive, reactive-looking skin
Avène Cicalfate+ Repairing Protective Cream SPF50+ is a comforting cream with very high sun protection for sensitive, weakened or reactive-looking skin on the face and body, suitable for children and adults. It combines [C+-Restore], Avène's patented postbiotic ingredient from Avène Thermal Spring Water, with the patented TriAsorB photoprotection system and other filters that cover UVB, UVA and HEV blue light. Zinc gluconate helps purify, and panthenol and hyaluronic acid keep the skin comfortable. Protecting skin from the sun helps limit the look of red marks and pigmentation, so the skin looks more even. It is tested on sensitive skin and on tattooed skin, across all phototypes.
The texture
A light, slightly tinted fluid cream that spreads easily and leaves no greasy or sticky feel. It is water resistant and fragrance-free.
Who it suits
- Sensitive or weakened-looking skin exposed to the sun
- Skin that feels delicate and needs extra protection
- New tattoos once fully settled
- Children and adults
Worth knowing before you buy: this is a small 40ml tube meant for targeted areas of the face and body, not a full-body sunscreen for the beach. The formula contains a light tint, so it can leave a subtle colour.
