A preservative-free balm that calms itching on very dry, atopic-prone skin
Avène XeraCalm A.D Lipid-Replenishing Balm is an emollient balm for very dry, atopic-prone skin that goes through episodes of itching and discomfort, for infants, children and adults. Its I-Modulia postbiotic acts on the microbiome to calm itching, while the LIPID:B2 complex of essential fatty acids replenishes lost lipids and strengthens the skin barrier. Avène Thermal Spring Water adds a soothing touch, and the sterile pump keeps the formula free of preservatives.
The texture
A rich but fresh balm that spreads easily over large areas and absorbs without a sticky film. It is richer than the XeraCalm cream, so it suits the driest skin and the winter months.
Who it suits
- Very dry skin with itching and tightness
- Atopic-prone skin between flare-ups
- Babies, children and adults, face and body
- Skin that reacts to fragrance
Worth knowing before you buy: this is the richer texture of the range; if you prefer a lighter feel on the face or in summer, the XeraCalm A.D cream is the better match. It contains mineral oil.
How long one bottle lasts
Used once a day on an adult's whole body, the 400ml pump lasts about five to six weeks.
