Avène XeraCalm A.D Lipid-Replenishing Cream

Lipid-replenishing care for dry, itch-prone skin

XeraCalm A.D Lipid-Replenishing Cream is Avène's everyday emollient for dry skin prone to atopy and to itching caused by dryness. It nourishes, helps restore the skin barrier and skin comfort, and helps soothe the sensation of itching while respecting the skin's microbiome. It is gentle enough for the whole family — infants from birth, children, teenagers and adults — and is applied to dry areas of the face and body. Available as a 200ml pump tube or a 400ml pump bottle.

Sterile Cosmetics® technology

Avène's Sterile Cosmetics® technology and a perfectly airtight pump pack keep the cream sterile from the first to the last use, so the formula contains no preservatives. It is also fragrance-free, non-comedogenic and designed to minimise the risk of allergic reactions, with 89% ingredients of natural origin and no ingredients of animal origin. The formula combines I-modulia®, a patented postbiotic derived from Avène Thermal Spring Water, with Cer-omega, lipids similar to those of the skin. XeraCalm A.D care is classed as an "Emollient Plus" in the 2018 European Dermatology Forum guidelines. Made in France.
