Avène Cicalfate+ Intensive Restorative Serum, Restores & strengthens skin barrier, Barrier serum with Pro-Vitamin B5 for all skin types including sensitive skin, Fragrance-Free, Dermatologist-Tested

I rarely write reviews, but this product truly deserves it. I have sensitive, dry skin with mild to moderate rosacea that became even more fragile after chemotherapy. While trying to repair my skin barrier, I overdid it with actives and completely wrecked my skin — it was red, raw, burning, and peeling. I turned to ChatGPT for help, and this Avene Cicalfate+ was one of the top recommendations. I started using it about three weeks ago, and wow — the difference is incredible! My skin has healed beautifully. The redness is dramatically reduced, the irritation is gone, and my skin feels soft, smooth, and calm again. The texture is soft and luxurious without being sticky. I love that there’s no noticeable scent, which is perfect for sensitive skin. It arrived well packaged and intact. For the results it delivers, I consider it an amazing value and will absolutely repurchase again and again. If you’re on the fence about trying this, go for it — it truly rescued and revived my skin barrier. This is now a permanent part of my routine and 100% a holy grail product for me!

This serum has been life-changing in calming and restoring my skin barrier. It absorbs quickly, feels lightweight, and instantly soothes irritation without feeling greasy. I’ve noticed my skin looks healthier and more balanced after just a few uses. It’s gentle enough for sensitive skin and works especially well when my skin barrier feels compromised. It is also fragrance-free, which I always appreciate! Trust me, it’s well worth the money!

Okay, I know this stuff is expensive, but hear me out. It feels so smooth and silky upon application and the faint scent is really nice. When I accidentally destroyed my skin barrier with too many actives, I used this along with the Cicalfate+ balm to fix it. I'm still using it in the mornings before my other skincare items and it's been helping to keep my skin barrier intact. I think I may have hurt it again with a new tingly (aka painful) exsome serum, so tonight I'm going to just use this and the balm again to see if I can get it back into shape. For me, the quality of this serum justifies the price.

Calming, extra hydration very gentle. My skin feels and looks healthier! Will purchase again😊!

I’ve used it a couple of weeks now. Seems to help with the moisture of my face in the dry winter time. Unfortunately I have super sensitive skin and can only use it once a day or it makes my face feel hot and causes redness. It’s unscented which is also necessary for my skin.

Winter skin saver. Light on the skin but moisturizing without a greasy feel. Used after laser treatments but also through the winter. Feels light enough for the summer too! No scent and good for morning or evening. Works very well. I have oily skin and it isn’t too heavy.

I have sensitive, mild rosacea skin. Had a facial recently and the aesthetician suggested I get a serum to help with moisturizer as I am almost 40. I’ve tried a lot of serums and either they are sticky and not really hydrating or break my skin out in a rash. This serum is amazing. Helps calm the redness in my cheeks and my skin is moisturized and soft all day. It feels a little sticky at first but it goes away. I apply in this order OSEA sea mineral mist toner to prep the skin, this serum and top off with Chanel La Solution 10 for sensitive skin.

I had been suffering with cakey looking makeup for about 2.5 years. I heard that it could be my moisture/skin barrier, but I had no idea how to repair it. Then, I saw an ad on Tiktok saying that this product helps with that. It has been less than a week and my skin looks great, and my makeup looks flawless! The product feels a little sticky at first, but it feels great after a few minutes on my super combo skin. Thank you Avène!
