A breathable protective film that helps sensitive-looking skin feel comfortable
Avène Cicalfate+ Repairing Protective Cream is a comforting cream for sensitive, irritated-looking skin, suitable for the whole family from birth. It can be used on the face, the body and external intimate areas. Its formula is built around [C⁺-Restore]™, a postbiotic agent derived from Avène Thermal Spring Water, which helps the skin look and feel restored in 48 hours. Copper and zinc sulfates help purify the skin, while the thermal spring water soothes tightness and redness.
The texture
A thick, white cream that spreads into a thin, breathable film. It shields the area, so it leaves a slightly visible protective layer rather than disappearing completely. The formula is fragrance-free.
Who it suits
- Chafed, rubbed or marked-looking skin on the face or body
- Skin that feels tight or sensitive after an aesthetic procedure
- Irritated-looking areas on babies and children, including the diaper area
- Dry, cracked patches that need protecting
Worth knowing before you buy: the protective film contains mineral oil and zinc oxide, so it can leave a light white cast and feel rich on oily skin. For damp, sticky-feeling areas, the Cicalfate+ Repairing Drying Spray is a better fit.
