Product Information

Full details

The Avene Xeracalm A.d Soothing Concentrate Cream is designed for adults experiencing intense, localized itching on the face, body, or eyelids, particularly those with very dry, atopic, or eczema-prone skin. Its key benefit is providing immediate relief from itching and strengthening the skin barrier, thanks to its patented I-MODULIA® COMPLEX and Protective & Repairing Complex. A potential caveat is that it is a concentrated formula and should be applied only to affected areas as directed. This fragrance-free, preservative-free, and non-comedogenic cream leverages Avène Thermal Spring Water and a minimalist formulation to calm and comfort irritated skin.

FAQs

What is the primary use of Avene Xeracalm A.d Soothing Concentrate Cream?

This cream is designed for emergency care to relieve intense, localized itching on the face, body, or eyelids, especially for individuals with very dry, atopic, and eczema-prone skin.

How does the I-MODULIA® COMPLEX work?

I-MODULIA® COMPLEX is a patented anti-irritating, post-biotic active ingredient that helps to reduce the sensation of itching and strengthens the skin's natural defenses.

Can I use this cream all over my body?

This is a concentrate intended for intense, localized itching. For broader application on very dry skin, it's recommended to use the Avene Xeracalm A.d Lipid-Replenishing Cream. Apply the concentrate only to the affected areas as needed.

Is this product suitable for children?

The product description specifically mentions it is for adults. While it's gentle, it's always best to consult a pediatrician before using any new skincare product on children, especially those with eczema.

How often should I apply the cream?

Apply the cream to affected areas once or twice daily after cleansing with a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser, or as directed by your healthcare professional.

Why is the packaging described as having a D.E.F.I. system, but the product is 40ml?

The D.E.F.I. (Device for Exclusive Formula Integrity) system is a key packaging innovation by Avene designed to maintain the sterility of preservative-free formulas. While the description specifically mentions it for 50ml tubes, the principle of a sealed, hygienic dispensing system to protect the formula integrity applies to this 40ml concentrate as well.

What ingredients does this cream avoid?

This cream is fragrance-free, preservative-free, and formulated with a minimalist approach to avoid common irritants, making it suitable for highly sensitive skin.

Troubleshooting

Cream not dispensing properly

Ensure the tube is not damaged. For the first use, you might need to press the tube a few times to initiate the flow. Avoid touching the nozzle to the skin to prevent contamination and potential blockage.

Skin irritation persists or worsens

Discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional. While formulated for sensitive skin, individual reactions can occur. Ensure you are applying it only to affected areas and not on broken skin without medical advice.

Product appears different than expected (e.g., consistency, color)

Check the expiration date. If the product is within its expiry and stored correctly, contact customer service for Avene to report any significant deviations, as this could indicate a product defect.
