A preservative-free cream that soothes itching and rebuilds very dry skin
Avène XeraCalm A.D Lipid-Replenishing Cream is a lipid-replenishing cream for dry to very dry and atopic-prone skin that is prone to itching and discomfort. Its minimalist formula contains I-Modulia, a biotechnology active from Avène that works on the skin microbiome to help neutralise the factors behind dryness flare-ups and bring anti-itch comfort. Avène Thermal Spring Water calms, while evening primrose oil and a fatty-acid complex replenish lost lipids and reinforce the skin barrier. Its sterile pump keeps the formula preservative-free. Suitable from birth, it hydrates face and body for up to 48 hours.
The texture
A fluid, fragrance-free cream that spreads easily over large areas and absorbs without a greasy film.
Who it suits
- Very dry skin that itches and feels tight
- Atopic-prone skin in babies, children and adults
- Dry patches on the face and body
- Families wanting one large pump for everyone
Worth knowing before you buy: It may feel too rich on normal or oily skin. For extremely dry, rough areas, XeraCalm A.D Balm is the thicker option.
How long the pump lasts
Used once or twice a day on the whole body of an adult, the 400ml pump lasts about four to six weeks, and longer on a child.
