Avene Cicalfate+ Intensive Skin Restorative Serum Review

Avene are known for their expertise in soothing and healing sensitive skin. Once again they’ve raised the bar with a remarkable new addition to their renowned Cicalfate range. For years, the Cicalfate collection has been a trusted name among those seeking effective solutions for skin recovery and protection. From the original Cicalfate+ Cream to the versatile Cicalfate Hand Cream, each product in the range has been formulated with Avene’s signature Thermal Spring Water, bringing unparalleled comfort and relief to irritated and damaged skin.

For 2024, Avene has unveiled the Cicalfate+ Serum, a serum specifically designed to penetrate deeper into the skin, accelerating the healing process and offering immediate relief. Stay tuned as I dive into the specifics of this ground-breaking product and explore how it can transform your skincare routine.

What makes the Cicalfate range truly special is its unique combination of ingredients designed to promote optimal skin healing. Infused with soothing agents, antibacterial properties, and skin barrier enhancers, these products not only address the symptoms of skin distress but also support the skin’s natural repair processes. Whether you’re dealing with post-procedure sensitivity, minor cuts, or everyday irritations, the Cicalfate range offers a solution tailored to your needs.

The Avène Cicalfate+ Serum is perfect if you have sensitive, irritated, or compromised skin. It’s ideal for those recovering from dermatological treatments like chemical peels or laser therapy, this serum provides intensive care and accelerates healing. It’s also great for skin conditions like eczema or dermatitis, reducing inflammation and soothing discomfort.

It provides intensive care and accelerates the skin’s healing process. It soothes irritation, reduces redness, and calms inflammation with its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. The serum strengthens the skin barrier, promoting faster recovery and enhancing resilience against environmental stressors. Its lightweight, fast-absorbing formula ensures deep penetration, delivering essential hydration and nourishment to support the skin’s natural repair mechanisms. Enriched with Avene’s Thermal Spring Water, it leaves your skin feeling soft, comforted, and revitalized, making it an ideal solution for restoring balance and health to sensitive or damaged skin.

The gentle formula is highly concentrated in Avene Thermal Spring Water, an iconic Avene ingredient that takes 40 years to collect essential minerals and nutrients to heal skin. The serum also contains Pro Vitamin B5 and TRP-Regulin™, which repair and strengthen the skin barrier in just 1 day.

The face serum has a fresh milky gel texture that is very cooling and soothing on the skin. It feels like water, absorbs quickly, and leaves skin feeling comfortable and hydrated.

Although the Cicalfate+ Serum is great when your skin is in need of repair, it can be used daily to keep your skin healthy and comfortable. Use morning and night. Use the dropper to apply a few drops to the face after cleansing.

The Cicalfate+ Serum comes in a glass bottle with a pipette; a pipette not only ensures the ideal dose every time but eliminates the risk of cross-contamination.

As someone with eczema-prone skin, I have relied on Avene skincare for years. While other products made my skin flare up, Avene’s high-tolerance formulas kept my skin calm, comfortable and hydrated. The Cicalfate Cream is always in my cupboard; it’s one of those products I think everyone should own in case of emergencies.

 Whenever I experience skin discomfort, I reach for the new serum first, whether it's because of eczema, razor irritation, cuts and grazes, or anything in between. When I heard about it, I had to try it.

I slotted the serum into my existing routine straight after cleansing. I loved the texture, a watery gel that absorbed quickly and left my skin soothing and hydrating. On days when I had redness or discomfort, this serum helped; it was calming and eased any itchiness or tightness. I have used it for around a month, and my skin looks healthy and hydrated. I plan to keep this as part of my everyday routine to help keep my skin’s barrier strong.
