A soap-free gel that washes dry, sensitive skin without leaving it tight
Avène XeraCalm Nutrition Cleansing Gel is a gentle, soap-free cleanser for dry and sensitive skin on the face and body. Its base of mild plant-derived cleansing agents lifts away impurities while Avène Thermal Spring Water, the first ingredient, soothes and softens. Niacinamide, sunflower seed oil and milk thistle oil help support the skin barrier and limit the tight, dry feeling that often follows a wash. The skin is left clean, comfortable and soft.
The texture
A soft, lightly foaming gel with a delicate scent. It rinses off easily with water and does not leave a film, so it works well both for a morning face wash and in the shower.
Who it suits
- Dry skin that feels tight after washing
- Sensitive skin that reacts to foaming cleansers
- Face and body in one bottle
- The whole family, for daily use
Worth knowing before you buy: It contains a light fragrance. For very dry, itch-prone or atopic skin, the fragrance-free XeraCalm A.D range is the better fit.
How long one tube lasts
Used once a day on the face, the 100ml tube lasts around 6 to 8 weeks. For the body, the 500ml size is more practical.
