A nourishing cleansing gel for dry, sensitive skin, in a family size
Avène XeraCalm Nutrition Cleansing Gel is a gentle soap-free cleansing gel for the face and body of dry, sensitive skin, suitable for the whole family. Mild cleansing agents such as decyl glucoside and sodium cocoyl glutamate wash away impurities without stripping the skin, while sunflower and milk thistle oils add a nourishing touch. Avène Thermal Spring Water, the brand's signature soothing ingredient, is the first ingredient of the formula, and niacinamide helps support the skin. After the shower, the skin feels clean, soft and comfortable rather than tight.
The texture
A soft gel that lathers lightly with water and rinses off easily. It has a light, fresh scent.
Who it suits
- Dry and sensitive skin on the face and body
- Families who share one shower product
- Skin that feels tight after using ordinary shower gels
- Daily use in hard-water areas
Worth knowing before you buy: The formula contains fragrance. Very dry, itchy or atopic-prone skin will be better served by the XeraCalm A.D cleansing oil, which is designed for that skin type.
How long one bottle lasts
For one person showering daily, the 750ml pump bottle lasts around four to five months; for a family of three, around six weeks.
