Great but not the right fit for me

Sair

Was hoping to love this but it's too thick and hasn't made my skin as moisturised as I'd hope but still love the smell of Avene products.
  1. Wonderful

    I love this- my skin is very sensitive and dry, and I’ve finally found this moisturiser as the perfect final step in my routine.
  2. A must have

    J

    LOVE this product! Have received so many compliments on my skin since using this product, gives you such a nice glass skin look! Definitely going to repurchase ! 
  3. Moisturising

    Georgie

    Feels lovely, really hydrating and protective feeling. Smells a bit weird.
  4. So good

    Don

    So good for your skin I love this cream
  5. My fav!

    J

    Goes on the skin so well and feels lovely
  6. Best barrier cream on budget

    V

    This skin really helped me restore my skin barrier after suffering from acne and trialling too many products in lockdown. It's thick so rub between hands to soften before applying.
  7. Great for barrier repair

    Claire

    Super thick, hydrating barrier repair cream. If my skin is dry or needing some support I use this and my skin heals so much faster than with a regular moisturiser. Similar to La Roche cicaplast.
  8. Hydrating and glowy

    Cicalfate

    This moisturiser is soo good it keeps your skin looking like glass and it fixes all your imperfections.🍉
  9. AMAZING

    kira

    I used cetapil moisturiser for abit, started to irate my skin every time I put it on. Swapped to this… and OH MY GOSH. Doesn’t irritate my skin and has helped clear and fade spots. It does have a bit of an odd smell but best product
  10. The best

    Jess

    It’s so good for sensitive skin. This is my favourite moisturiser
  11. Love this

    Karlee

    I’ve been using this product for a month and am loving it, it’s really brought my skin back to what it was. My skin was in a bit of a state after some time of being unwell, it was dry, clogged, dull, saggy, blotchy and breaking out, it really looked crap. Now it’s looking back to normal after a month of using this product and really helping my skins dryness. Am very happy with this product
  12. Unexpected & amazing

    Emrob

    My heart sank when I squeezed the bottle a d the cream is SO white! But, it blends right in and leaves my skin incredibly soft & hydrated. It's a definite keeper, and such great value. In fact, I think I'll order another one right now...
  13. Very moisturising balm

    G.L.

    It applies very thick and leaves a bit of a cast at first but it’ll melt away very quickly. It’s very moisturising and has helped repair my skin excellently.
  14. Leaves your skin so smooth and soft

    Kat

    Been using this for a few days now with my retinol and it’s one of the few moisturisers that actually help hydrate and moisturise my face without making it super oily. I’ve heard really good stuff about this and I now understand why. Definitely recommend!
  15. Fantastic cream

    Eva

    This helps soothe my redness caused by acne pastules. It’s a cult beauty favourite for a reason, it definitely lives up to the hype!!
  16. Deep

    Swizz

    Deep nourishing cream. It doesnt spread very well but its a dense product that has a good feel.
  17. Soothing AF!

    LC125

    Looking for a super rich moisturiser than look no further! This is like a huge drink of water for your skin. The one tip I would say is make sure you warm it up in your hands before applying as it can be hard to spread out. It also doesn't sit very well on top of serums so either wait till the serums have absorbed or don't use them together.
  18. Great for PD!

    Katina

    This really helps to soothe my PD. It hasn’t cleared it after around 2 months of usage twice daily but the soothing quality is enough to keep it a part of my routine.
  19. If you have perioral dermatitis…

    Bella

    … this is definitely a product worth trying! It helped to clear my perioral dermatitis in only a few days after suffering for 3 years. I only wish I believed the hype and tried this product sooner.
  20. Girls best friend

    Thicc cream

    I love the consistency - I wish I could find a hand moisturiser with this consistency. I do have to work in my hands before applying to face as it seems to not want to stick cold.
  21. moisturising

    vee

    amazing tto use as an overnight mask after all of your skincare. nourishes the skin and leaves it extremely smooth the morning after. a must have!
  22. My saviour!

    Alex

    I have struggled with eczema around my eyes for years and the only thing I have been able to use without them reacting is one brand of Sorbolene cream... until I gave this a go. It is so thick and soothing it feels like I'm giving my eyes a big drink. Not only do I not react to this cream, it's provided such good moisture and protection that I haven't had to use any steroid cream around my eyes si...

  24. My go to face cream

    J

    I use this day and night it’s great and doesn’t make my skin break out. I have dry skin and it helps a lot
  25. An absolute classic

    Alex Q

    Such a great calming and soothing cream. I find it absorbs easier than the La Roche Cicaplast cream. Perfect if you are having a dry outbreak.
  26. Exactly as described, restoring and repairing

    Elise

    I have sensitive skin and rosacea, it hard to find a cream that will calm and nourish without feeling heavy especially when I have rosacea flare ups but this is my holy grail!! A little bit goes a long way. It comes out thick but melts beautifully into the skin whilst leaving a nice film without leaving a white cast. This product is amazing for barrier support, love using this during winter or e...

    I’ve gone through dozens of tubes of this over the years, because it is truly heaven on any irritated skin, allergic reactions, rashes, dryness, eczema, on both myself & my daughter. It is full of zinc & so creamy feeling, but absorbs well into the skin, no white cast or heavy feeling. I use it as a soothing treatment to avoid harsher products like steroids which are bad for skin long-term. Follow...

  29. Skin barrier rescue

    Edie

    I continually am trying different products all the time, and when my skin barrier has reacted badly to a product this cream is a lifesaver! It helps my skin barrier heal so quickly and helps my sensitive skin reduce redness.
  30. Skin saviour

    Kate

    After using vitamin a I was left with sensitive dry skin. I was hesitant to try such a thick cream due to having oily and congestion prone skin but this has really helped repair my skin barrier and hasn’t caused any breakout’s. I use it at night and wake up with plump smooth skin.
  31. Great for repairing

    CM

    Was recommended this after a face peel went wrong - was great hydration and helped my skin to repair far more quickly than without it
  32. The best

    Brigita

    I always use this, especially for irritated skin. It is the most soothing cream, and is very healing for dry skin.
  33. Super moisturising

    Bec

    I’ve been using this product every night and so glad I found it! Very thick and hydrating without an oily/heavy feeling. Will continue to purchase
  34. Super hydration

    Star

    Purchased it after watching a tiktok, it’s good to top up and seal your skincare. Wouldn’t recommend it for daytime as it leaves skin looking oily. Doesn’t clog pores at all.
  35. beautifully soothing and healing

    Tina

    So impressed with this cream for sensitive skin, dry lips, burns, irritation. One to definitely have in the beauty drawer for dry skin, I used it on burns, puffy eyes, sore cracks on lips and around my nostrils, and sensitive skin flare ups and it is a dream. So cheap too! This brand never fails to deliver for inexpensive luxury skincare.
  36. My fav

    Jess

    I’ve used this every night for the past 6 months I love it 🥰 I have quite dry acne prone skin and it does wonders for me.
  37. Excellent, but very rich moisturiser

    Sarah

    Really nice product, I have dry skin, so I appreciated the richness of this product, but it is definitely not going to work for people with more oily or potentially combination skin as a face moisturise. It also is lightly fragranced which is important to be aware of. Overall for the price it was definitely worth it, even just to use on days when my skin needs a more intense pick me up
  38. Gentle but not strong

    Angie

    Gentle on the skin, doesn't cause breakouts. Though the downfall of this is it is not very powerful.
  39. Highly recommend

    CL

    This has been amazing throughout these winter months when my skin is extra dry and sensitive
  40. Great cream

    Tay

    I really like this cream, although I feel the formulation has changed and it is not as nourishing as it once was.
  41. Great nourishing cream

    Gbris

    I absolutely love this cream for repairing and protecting my skin. I used it on my back after I had shingles and it really helped to sooth and regenerate the skin. I now use it on my face occasionally when I need a bit more hydration. It’s fantastic
  42. Restorative

    Shawis

    I spot use this on any dry patches/cracks on my body, it repairs the skin within 48hours using it twice a day
  43. A Relief

    Dee

    I didn't intend buying this product but I received a sample and gave it a try. Absolutely nothing has helped the eczema I have developed in both ears, but after only 2 applications of this cream, I have relief. I'll be purchasing a tube of this delightful cream. I really appreciate that Adore give samples. I've found some very useful products this way.
  44. Really good

    Georgia

    Bought it because the similiar product by la roche posay is always out of stock. Much thicker than the la roche posay product but makes my skin feel so smooth and hydrated. I also like using it as a spot treatment or leaving it on dry patches.
  45. Excellent multipurpose cream

    Mik

    I use this product usually on my retinol nights or the following if I feel my skin needs it and wow. I warm it between my fingers before applying it and it just glides on and significantly improves the dryness and redness I occasionally get from using retinol. I use it all over my body to help soothe and repair. My roommates borrow it all the time too. It has helped with skin burnt from bleaching ...

  47. Fave healing cream

    Lulu

    The product is thick (like a smooth zinc texture) but I love it for this reason, I use it on redness and it helps my skin heal so much
  48. Skin barrier reboot

    Carolina

    I love this cream. It's great to reboot your skin barrier and minimise any skin reactions. I have sensitive combo skin (sometimes more oily, sometimes more dry), so I use this cream in my pm routine. As it's pretty thick, I like to use face oil first (despite having combo skin) and then apply the cream. As it mixes with the oil, I need a little bit to cover the face and neck. Otherwise, I warm i...

  49. My favourite cream.

    Meredith

    It works so well as a moisturiser and doesn't break me out at all.
  50. Great for scarring.

    Celia

    While I wouldn't say this did any miracles, it did help a lot with my scarring.
  51. The best

    Becca

    I always have this cream on standby. It has saved me so many times during skin freak outs. cannot recommend it enough.
  52. not as moisturizing as you'd think

    Renee

    the way this goes on, you think oh wow this is rich, my skin will drink this up. but it's very gentle, takes a few days of consistent use to start to see results. definitely calming, but doesn't best the flakes like I hoped it would. leaves a white cast too, thanks to the zinc
  53. Great but not the right fit for me

    Sair

    Was hoping to love this but it's too thick and hasn't made my skin as moisturised as I'd hope but still love the smell of Avene products.
  54. Very good

    Lily

    Very good cream very promising
  55. Must have cream for hydration

    Tan

    This cream is incredible at fixing my dehydrated skin in Winter especially . I slather it on after all my other products at night. It has helped fix my skin barrier so many times.
  56. The gentle touch

    Az

    Never really struggled with irritated skin before, but when it started getting itchy, dry and flaky I freaked out. Tried a few products before I got desperate and went on a research spree which revealed nothing new. By chance I stumbled upon this at the chemist and have been using it 2x daily since. Skin is back to normal, if not even better (more moisturised and less acne)! Helps me tolerate the ...

  57. So thick and rich

    Sarah

    This is perfect for someone who wants thick and rich restorative cream. I've been using this for 10 years. I dont use it everyday. I only use it when I feel like my skin feels tight and dry. It works so good. It is good for both face and body. I use it mostly in winter.
  58. Good for Irritated, Reactive Skin

    Philippa

    I have sensitive, reactive skin that is otherwise combination when it is behaving. This product is fantastic in that I can use it in the middle of an allergic reaction and it does not contribute to the problem and soothes the irritation and burning somewhat. It is a very thick balm that you need to rub in properly but does not leave a white cast like the LRP version does. My only gripe is that ...

    Leah

    This like all of the Avene products do what they say they do. this is soothing, healing & beautifying. Try it you will love it!
  63. Good

    S

    I used this nightly on my face and occasionally on my dry legs. It has great moisturising properties, but left a white colour on my skin and took a while to absorb.
  64. Love This Product!

    KP

    I cant count how many tubes of this I have used. It has been my go-to moisturizer for almost 2 years now and I don't think I'll ever change! I have sensitive, normal to oily skin and it took me ages to figure out that oily didnt mean my skin wasnt sensitive. This product helps to balance my oiliness, and leaves my skin feeling so soft, smooth, and protected. Would definitely recommend it!
  65. Great versatile product

    Tanya

    I make sure I always stock up on this cream, its so versatile. I use it for dry hands, knees and elbows. Sometimes I will use it on my face which is sensitive and rosacea prone and its calms my skin and hydrates it well overnight.
  66. Pure magic

    BobbyC

    I have been battling with recurring perioral dermatitis and eczema for most of my life and have tried almost everything. Most products would either cause more irritation and dryness or do nothing (including prescription treatment recommended to me by dermatologists). I decided to try Avene Cicalfate+...and wow! Not only did it feel and smell great, but after a week of use, it completely cleared u...

  68. Great for Dry Skin

    Bea

    smells super great too
  69. Great for skin reactions

    Nikki

    I really love this cream, it’s perfect to apply if I have any reactions to products. Highly recommend.
  70. Must have

    Chris

    My skin is sensitive and was reacting badly to something I was using. It was inflamed and itchy. I purchased this on a whim and it calmed my skin down completely. It provides basic hydration but it is perfect for when your skin is aggravated.
  71. Best barrier cream

    Kitty

    This is fantastic for really dry and sensitive skin. A must have if you have eczema or rosacea. A small amount can heal dry and sore skin.
  72. Great for my oily skin

    Sav

    I love this moisturiser for my oily yet still dry skin, it definitely keeps my oily skin at bay and keeps my skin hydrated all day long. It sits really well under makeup and given the price its definitely worth the money
  73. Avène Cicalfate Restorative Skin Cream 100ml

    Chen

    I purchased a few weeks ago I'm very happy so far not to heavy or oily on the skin and don't need alot one pump is sufficient. Ok to apply makeup too without a problem.
  74. Avène Cicalfate Restorative Skin Cream 100ml

    Lily

    Obviously it depends on the rest of my skincare and lifestyle, but I do find it reduces some of the oil and clears up some of my acne. I have only been using this product for about a month so will be continuing to use it to hopefully see even better results.
  75. lovely!

    Anita

    This was a saviour for me in winter! My skin and hands get super dry and really bad when I neglect it. This was great for me and absorbed really well in my skin.
  76. soothes the skin

    cheyrl

    i honestly cannot recommend this enough. my younger sister has very sensitive skin and she was suffering from severe dry skin and i had a sample of this and she applied and it just soothed her skin in just a couple of days. this is magic. great for dry skin girls
  77. Little ripper

    Parasal

    I didnt expect too much from this moisturizer but man was I suprised! Friend of mine uses this moisturizer for his daughter's eczema and gave me some to try for my dry skin. It worked so well for her eczema that I though it would be too oily or heavy but it was neither. This is one of the best moisturizers I have ever used. 10/10 would recommend
  78. Amazing cream

    Parasal

    I really I've this cream. I get some eczema on my hands from handwashing at work and this cream really does restore the mosture and reduces the itchyness in my eczema. I gave some of this cream to a friend who's child suffered from quite bad eczema and he says that his daughters skin has never been better with the help of this cream. It worked for her so worth the expense
  79. great for sensitive skin

    potato

    If you have very dry skin, I recommend this product it is also great for eczema on the hand.
  80. restoring

    Lucy

    This is a very good cream for the night and works well for sensitive skin
  81. Best for irritated skin

    Laura

    This is a heavy, occlusive cream - wouldn't recommend for daytime use, but it's amazing as the last step in my skincare routine when my skin is irritated by actives. Incredibly soothing and keeps moisturiser locked in overnight to help with restoring the skin's moisture barrier.
  82. Soothes sensitive skin

    Laura

    I like to use this when my skin is feeling irritated or particularly sensitive - it's a heavy cream that feels very soothing and calming on affected areas.
  83. Great product.

    Work very well for my dry , I really notice a difference. Love it.
  84. Great for post laser

    I over did it with retinol and had really flaky and sensitive patches on my face. I usually use Aspect Phytostat 9 but that seemed to irritate my skin more...

The irritations subsided and I feel like it's really helped with my skin barrier too (+...

  88. So good for dry skin

    Caitlin

    I bought this after receiving a sample and really loved it - it’s so soothing for dry or irritated skin. It’s quite rich and can be a bit shiny on my skin so I tend to just use it when I have dryness and my skin starts too look and feel better almost right away.
  89. Soothing skin

    Sipei

    I am a sensitive muscle. I often get skin allergies during the season. I have acne. Every time I repair him with a thick layer of paint, my face will recover a lot in second days, and my acne will also be reduced. It can also be used as a sleeping mask.
  90. I can’t believe how this changed my skin

    Vsh92

    Iv become one of those weird people who feel the need to bring up this moisturiser in unrelated conversations because it’s so good. Both my husband with combination skin and myself - severely dry skin can you use and we both have found our skin drastically different.
    It has a white cast that does disappear quickly but it’s absolutely worth it and if you have dry skin.
  91. Thick and plumping moisturiser

    Grace

    I don't have any specific skin concerns but bought this for Melbourne winter as it was a good price point and had good reviews. It goes on quite thick like sunscreen (no SPF) and smells tart - maybe a bit like greek yoghurt. Like sunscreen, you have to rub it in well to get rid of any white residue. It feels thick and greasy for a bit but once it sinks into your skin (20 minutes) it leaves your fa...

    Nadine

    Love love love this moisturiser for cold winters when my skin is a bit dryer. It's really rich and thick and moisturising. It doesn't agitate the eczema that I get on my neck. Really happy and it's super affordable.
  94. Covid saver

    Sarah

    My hands have been super dry due to covid and repeated washing and use of hand sanitiser. This has been such a saviour. I apply a thick layer in the evening and sometimes wear gloves over the top.
  95. Effective

    kittykatkel

    I received a sample of this and I've used it on my dry hands and legs and it's very effective. It also works a treat on my children's skin. A good overall moisturiser.
  96. Underrated product

    Vsh92

    This cream is so good for instant relief, I had an allergic reaction that caused my skin to become dry and cracked. I was out of my usual balm so I ordered this and it was on my doorstop the next evening. The cream is thick and cooling and doesn’t smell awful like some fragrance free products, it does leave the skin looking very glowy so oily skin may not like it but my skin drank it up
  97. Great for sensitive skin!

    Monique

    It can feel a little heavy, but I have really sensitive and eczema prone skin, so this has been a great addition to my routine as my moisturiser both day and night
  98. Great for redness

    Amelia L

    I received this recently as a sample and remembered why I used to love this product! I actually forgot about it, but so glad it has come to my attention again. I use it when I get redness on my cheeks (usually from other products) and within a night my skin in completely healed. Will be buying a new one of these once my sample runs out - A little goes a long way!
  99. It works

    Emmajane

    Really works on raw patches. It is very thick, and does clog pores a bit, less is more and helps if you pat it on Rather than rub it in.
  100. Life saver

    Hannah

    Ever since I started using tretinoin cream my skin has been extremely sensitive and prone to red, dry patches around my mouth and nose. This has been a life saver! It’s so soothing and calms my skin right down
