Avène Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream

A protective "dressing effect" cream for irritated skin

Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream is Avène's multi-purpose barrier cream for sensitive, irritated and dry skin, suitable for the whole family from birth. It soothes discomfort from the first application, nourishes and protects, and promotes the restoration of the epidermis from 48 hours. The rich texture forms a moisturising, protective film where the skin is irritated, creating a "dressing effect" that shields it from external aggressors. It can be used on the face and body, including external intimate areas. Fragrance-free and made in France, in a 40ml tube.

The [C+-Restore]™ formula

The formula combines Avène Thermal Spring Water with [C+-Restore]™, a patented postbiotic active obtained by biotechnology from Aquaphilus dolomiae and the first postbiotic restorative ingredient derived from Avène Thermal Spring Water. A purifying complex of copper and zinc sulfates helps limit the risk of bacterial proliferation on irritated areas, in a rich base with zinc oxide, glycerin and nourishing lipids. 86% of the ingredients are of natural origin.
