Avene Cicalfate Regenerating Cream
Avene Cicalfate Cream is a recovery cream for damaged, irritated skin. Those looking for a product to provide a protective barrier to the skin during a healing process are good candidates for this product. This product is also recommended as an after treatment of dermatological procedures such as chemical peels or microdermabrasions.
Avene Cicalfate Cream comes in an easy to handle 1.4 ounce (40 ml) tube. The product is to be applied up to two times daily to an affected area that has been properly cleansed and dried. As with all products in this European skin care line, Cicalfate Cream is made with Avene thermal spring water and is completely hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic. Users can apply the product up until the skin is healed.
There are times when the skin needs just a little bit more protection than the average moisturizer can provide. When the epidermis is going through a healing process, such as after a dermatological procedure, conventional moisturizers can often exacerbate the skin, slowing the return to a healthy glow. Unlike a regular moisturizer, Avene Cicalfate Cream contains healing ingredients that provide protective layer over skin while it goes through its own natural processes. This product’s consistency is not unlike that of diaper rash cream; however, it does work its way into the skin once applied. It can be used under makeup, however most either use a gentle serum to seal it in or skip applying powder as the Cicalfate Cream can make it chalk up in creases around the eyes or mouth. The product can be used all over the face or for spot treatments. Consisting of simple ingredients, Avene Cicalfate is said to be safe enough to be used on even a baby’s skin. Comparison shopping can find Avene Cicalfate Cream at various prices throughout the low to mid level price range.
