A gentle, soap-free bar that cleanses and soothes very dry, itchy skin
Avène XeraCalm A.D Ultra-Rich Cleansing Bar is a soap-free cleansing bar for very dry skin, including skin prone to atopic eczema and itching. It can be used on the face, body, hands and scalp by infants, children and adults. Its formula contains I-modulia, a postbiotic active derived from Avène Thermal Spring Water, which helps reduce the feeling of itching and calm irritation, while evening primrose oil helps restore the skin barrier. This pack contains two bars.
The texture
A creamy, fragrance-free bar with a soft lather that leaves skin comfortable, not tight.
Who it suits
- Very dry skin that feels tight after washing
- Skin prone to atopic eczema and itching
- Babies, children and adults
- Those who prefer a solid cleanser
Worth knowing before you buy: After washing, apply an emollient such as XeraCalm A.D cream to keep dry skin comfortable.
How long the pack lasts
One 100g bar used daily in the shower lasts around four to six weeks, so the pack of two covers about two to three months.
