A relipidating balm for very dry skin that itches and feels tight
Avène XeraCalm A.D Relipidating Balm is a daily body and face balm for very dry to atopic-prone skin, including babies and pregnant women. It combines Avène Thermal Spring Water with LIPID:B2, a fatty-acid complex that stimulates ceramide production to help restore the skin barrier, and I-MODULIA+, which targets the microbiome imbalance linked to dryness and itching. The plant-oil formula replaces mineral oil for a lighter feel.
The texture
An enveloping balm that absorbs easily and leaves skin comfortable, without a greasy or sticky film.
Who it suits
- Very dry skin that itches or feels tight
- Atopic-prone skin, from infants to adults
- Skin dried out during pregnancy or after treatments
Worth knowing before you buy: It is a rich balm, so on normal or oily skin a lighter lotion will feel more comfortable. If you want a fragrance-free formula, check the INCI below, which lists none.
