Avène Xeracalm A.D Repilidating Gel Lacté 200ml

What is Avène XeraCalm AD Lipid-Replenishing Cleansing Milk Gel used for?
Avène XeraCalm A.D Lipid-Replenishing Cleansing Milk Gel is a high-tolerance cleansing and make-up removing treatment for very dry, atopic skin prone to itching. Its distinctive milky gel texture acts as a cushion between the cotton pad and the skin, preventing any irritating friction. Enriched with I-modulia® (a post-biotic anti-scratching active) and ceramides, it cleanses, removes make-up and nourishes in a single step without rinsing.

Does it need to be rinsed off?
No, this is the key advantage of this product compared to conventional cleansing gels. It's a leave-on treatment. Tap water, which is often hard and chlorinated, can aggravate eczema and dryness. This cleansing milk gel allows the skin to be thoroughly cleansed without exposure to hard water, helping to preserve the integrity of the skin barrier.

Can it be used around the eyes?
Yes, the formula has been tested under dermatological and ophthalmological control. It doesn't sting the eyes and gently removes make-up from the face and eyes. Its smooth texture dissolves impurities without the need to rub the eyelid, an area that is often highly reactive in people with atopic skin.

Is it suitable for babies?
Yes, the XeraCalm A.D range is designed to be safe for the whole family. This cleansing milk gel can be used on infants, children and adults. It's ideal for cleansing the face and hands of little ones with atopic-prone skin, helping to avoid redness and tightness.

What's the difference between this and XeraCalm Cleansing Oil?
The Cleansing Oil is a foaming hygiene product used in the shower and rinsed off. The Cleansing Milk Gel is a leave-on cleansing treatment (similar to a technical cleansing milk) used with a cotton pad or fingertips, ideal when the skin can no longer tolerate water.
