Why use Avène Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream?Avène Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream is a multi-purpose skincare essential for soothing and supporting the repair of sensitive or irritated skin. Enriched with sucralfate and copper-zinc complex, it helps protect the skin, prevent bacterial growth, and speed up the healing process.
It’s ideal for everyday concerns like dry patches, redness, chafing, or irritation after dermatological treatments. With regular use, it helps visibly improve the appearance of scars and soothes discomfort for skin that feels healthier and more resilient.
Can I apply Cicalfate+ to an open wound?No, it shouldn’t be used on open wounds. Cicalfate+ is designed for use on clean, dry skin—for minor irritations, superficial cuts or after the wound has started to heal. For open or deeper wounds, consult a healthcare professional or use an appropriate antiseptic treatment.
Can it be used on intimate areas?Yes, it can be applied to external intimate areas in case of superficial irritation—such as after shaving or friction. However, it should not be used on internal mucous membranes. If discomfort persists, seek advice from a healthcare professional.
How long does it take to see results?You may feel soothing relief within hours, and with consistent use, visible improvement in irritated areas usually appears within a few days.
Is it suitable for babies and children?Yes, the gentle formula is safe for infants and children, though it's always best to check with a healthcare professional if you're unsure.
