A soothing cleansing oil for very dry skin prone to atopy
Uriage Xémose Cleansing Soothing Oil is a lipid-rich cleansing oil for very dry skin with an atopic tendency, suitable for the whole family from birth. It gently cleanses the face and body without stripping the skin, while helping to nourish it and relieve the feeling of tightness and the urge to scratch. Its formula is based on Uriage Thermal Water, naturally rich in minerals and known for its soothing, moisturising properties. The skin feels soft, supple and comfortable after the shower, which makes it an easy first step before an emollient cream.
The texture
A silky oil that turns into a soft, milky foam on contact with water. It rinses off easily and leaves a comfortable, non-greasy feel.
Who it suits
- Very dry skin that feels tight after washing
- Skin with an atopic tendency, for babies, children and adults
- Itchy, uncomfortable skin in winter
- Families wanting one gentle wash for everyone
Worth knowing before you buy: A cleanser is only the first step: follow with a Xémose cream or balm while the skin is still slightly damp. Keep showers short and lukewarm, as hot water dries the skin further.
Which size to choose
The 200ml bottle is ideal to try it or for travel. The 500ml and 1L bottles suit daily family use, and the 500ml duo is the best value for a household.
