A creamy cleansing bar that leaves dry skin soft, not tight
Avène Cold Cream Ultra-Rich Cleansing Bar is a superfatted cleansing bar for the face and body, made for sensitive, dry to very dry skin and suitable for the whole family from birth. Its formula is rich in Cold Cream, a blend of beeswax and oils that is a classic of French dermatology, and in superfatting agents that help protect the skin's hydrolipidic film while you wash. Avène Thermal Spring Water adds its soothing, softening properties. The result is a clean, comfortable skin that does not feel tight after the shower.
The texture
A solid, creamy bar that works up into a soft, rich lather with water and rinses off easily. It is lightly fragranced. Each pack holds two 100g bars, so one can sit by the sink and one in the shower.
Who it suits
- Sensitive, dry to very dry skin on the face and body
- Babies, children and adults
- Skin that feels tight or rough after using a regular soap
- Anyone who prefers a bar to a liquid cleanser
Worth knowing before you buy: it contains fragrance, paraffin and mineral oil. Although sold as a gentle, superfatted bar, its base includes soap salts (sodium laurate and myristate), so the very most reactive skin may prefer a soap-free cleansing cream.
How long a pack lasts
Used daily for the whole body, one 100g bar usually lasts three to four weeks, so a pack of two covers about two months for one person. Let the bar dry between uses to make it last longer.
