A light, fast-absorbing body lotion for dry, sensitive skin
Avène XeraCalm Nutrition Moisturizing Lotion is a fluid body milk for sensitive, dry to very dry skin, suitable for the whole family. Its formula, with 97% ingredients of natural origin, pairs Avène Thermal Spring Water, known for soothing sensitive skin, with niacinamide, milk thistle seed oil and sunflower seed oil to nourish and help restore the skin's comfort. In clinical testing it gave an 85% increase in hydration right after application, with skin nourished and hydrated for up to 48 hours. Tightness eases and the skin feels soft and supple again.
The texture
A fluid, milky lotion that spreads over large areas in a few strokes and sinks in quickly, without a greasy film. You can dress soon after applying, which makes it an easy everyday habit, even for people who usually skip body cream. It has a light, discreet scent.
Who it suits
- Dry to very dry, sensitive skin
- Children and adults sharing one family body lotion
- Skin that feels tight after showering
- Anyone who wants hydration without a heavy, greasy feel
Worth knowing before you buy: the formula contains fragrance. For very dry skin with itching or atopic tendencies, Avène's XeraCalm A.D range is designed specifically for that; for extra comfort in winter, the Nutrition balm below is richer.
Which size to choose
The 200ml bottle suits one person or travel. The 400ml pump bottle is the practical choice for daily use by the whole family.
