Avène XeraCalm A.D Soothing Concentrate

Targeted care for very dry, itchy areas

XeraCalm A.D Soothing Concentrate is Avène's concentrated, targeted care for very dry areas prone to intense itching caused by dryness, such as the eyelids, hands, inner elbows, knees, the back of the neck and the external intimate area. It moisturises, nourishes and quickly reduces dryness and the associated feelings of itching and discomfort. It can be applied as often as needed, is suitable from birth and can be used alongside topical dermatological treatments. The 40ml tube is easy to carry for use on the go.

A reinvented formula

The formula respects the skin's microbiome and pairs I-modulia+, derived from Avène Thermal Spring Water, with Broussonetia papyrifera stem extract, an active whose mode of action is inspired by the needs of very dry skin. A nutritive complex rich in fatty acids from safflower and sunflower seed oils replenishes lipids, and the enveloping texture penetrates the skin easily. Packed in a sterile tube with Sterile Cosmetics® technology, it is preservative-free and fragrance-free, and it was tested under dermatological and paediatric supervision. Made in France.
