How effective is this cream for itching and irritation?
Uriage Xémose Lipid-Replenishing Cream is designed to provide immediate relief from itching and irritation. Enriched with soothing and barrier-repairing ingredients, it helps reduce inflammatory reactions from the first application and provides long-lasting comfort. It also strengthens the skin’s natural barrier to prevent further dryness and sensitivity, especially during atopic flare-ups.
What are the key active ingredients in this cream?
The formula includes:
Uriage Thermal Water: rich in minerals with proven soothing and anti-inflammatory properties
Chronoxine: a patented complex that instantly calms itching
Ceramides: help restore and reinforce the skin barrier
Shea butter: deeply nourishes and protects
Is this cream suitable for all skin types and all ages?
Yes. It is suitable for infants, children and adults with very dry or atopic-prone skin. Its rich but non-greasy texture absorbs easily, leaving the skin soft, soothed and comfortable.
How often should this cream be applied?
Apply once or twice daily on clean, dry skin. During flare-ups, it can be applied more frequently to help relieve discomfort and maintain skin hydration.
Does it contain perfumes or potentially irritating ingredients?
No. The formula is fragrance-free and contains no harsh or sensitising substances, making it safe for sensitive, reactive and eczema-prone skin.
Can Uriage Xémose be used on chickenpox spots?
No. It should not be applied to chickenpox lesions, particularly if they are oozing or infected. This cream is intended to relieve dryness-related itching, not to treat infectious skin conditions. Always seek medical advice for chickenpox management.
Can Uriage Xémose be used on the vaginal area?
No. This cream is not intended for mucosal areas. Although it is suitable for face and body, it may cause irritation if applied to intimate zones. For vaginal dryness or sensitivity, use a product specifically formulated for intimate care.
