A balm-to-oil that calms itching and rebuilds very dry, atopy-prone skin
Uriage Xémose C8+ Anti-Itch Soothing Oil Balm is a nourishing balm for very dry, atopy-prone skin, for the whole family from birth. Its C8+ technology brings eight biomimetic ceramides that increase both the amount and the variety of ceramides in the skin, and, with 10% shea butter and illipe oil, help restore the physical barrier. Two Uriage patents, TLR2-REGUL and Chronoxine, act on the immunological side of atopic dryness to limit itching sensations. The formula also supports a more diverse skin microbiome. Severe dryness, rough patches and itching are reduced, with a 48-hour anti-recurrence action.
The texture
A rich balm that turns into an oil as you massage it in. It absorbs quickly and leaves a non-greasy, non-sticky finish, so you can dress soon after applying. It is fragrance-free.
Who it suits
- Very dry, atopy-prone skin on face and body
- Babies, children and adults in the same family
- Skin that itches and feels tight after showering
- Rough, dry patches that keep coming back
Worth knowing before you buy: it is a rich formula designed for very dry skin; on normal or oily skin it will feel too heavy. For the face of oilier skin types, a lighter Xémose cream is a better choice.
How long one tube lasts
Applied once or twice a day to a child's body, the 200ml tube lasts about three to four weeks; on an adult's whole body, closer to two weeks.
