Are XERACALM products suitable for Black and mixed-race skin?
Yes, absolutely. The XERACALM range has been developed to care for all skin types, including Black and mixed-race skin. Regardless of skin tone, these formulas work to soothe, nourish and strengthen dry or sensitive skin, without leaving a greasy residue or creating a white cast.
How do I choose between the Balm, the Cream, and the Soothing Concentrate in the XERACALM A.D range?
It depends on your skin’s level of dryness and how often you experience flare-ups. If your skin feels very dry or reactive, the Lipid-Replenishing Balm offers a richer texture and long-lasting comfort, especially during colder months. The Cream is lighter, making it a great option for moderate dryness or seasonal use.
For targeted relief, the Soothing Concentrate is ideal. It works like a rescue treatment, providing immediate relief from itching and irritation, particularly useful during sudden flare-ups or on delicate areas like the face or hands.
Do XERACALM NUTRITION formulas still nourish the skin, even with such a light texture?
Yes, and that’s exactly what makes them so popular. The range combines a fluid, fast-absorbing texture with deeply moisturising ingredients. It includes niacinamide and milk thistle oil, which help rebuild the skin barrier, and Avène Thermal Spring Water, known for its soothing properties. The result is skin that feels hydrated and comfortable for up to 48 hours, without feeling heavy or sticky.
How can I soothe facial eczema gently?
If you're dealing with eczema on the face, a gentle routine can make a big difference. Start by applying a compress soaked in Avène Thermal Spring Water for ten minutes to calm the area. Then, use the XERACALM A.D Soothing Concentrate on any patches of discomfort—even around the eyes. Follow with a repairing cream to protect the skin, and be sure to moisturise daily, even when symptoms improve, to keep the skin barrier strong.
How can I help reduce eczema flare-ups in children?
Consistency is key. Keep baths or showers short and lukewarm, and use a gentle cleansing oil rather than standard soap. Even when their skin looks calm, moisturising once a day with a nourishing cream or balm can go a long way in preventing future flare-ups. These small daily habits can really help reduce itching and improve overall comfort.
