Q: Was the formula changed? The tube I received was chunky, blue, and separated. It wouldn’t mix. I returned and was sent a new tube- this tube was also the same. I won’t be purchasing again. A waste of money for what used to be an amazing product.

submitted by Anonymousbuyer - 1 year ago

  • A: Mine did the same thing and I bought it in store! Came here to see if it was normal. Also has a weird fake tan smell. I’ll be returning as well.

    submitted byMirandam - 5 months ago

  • A: This happened to me also, I returned to store. Will not purchase again from Target

    submitted byTuria - 10 months ago

  • A: It separates when it is too cold, if I get this shipped during the winter it does this. It actually says on the product do not expose the product to temperatures below 5°C or 41°F . So in colder months I just buy it at the store and it has been fine for me.

    submitted byfreypod - 7 months ago

  • A: Separation is extremely common. I does not mean it's bad. Just let it sit in a cup of hot water for a few minutes before massaging it to remix. Once remixed, it will stay that way.

Q: Is this cruelty free?

submitted by Susan - 2 years ago

  • A: Although Avène does not test its finished products on animals, it nevertheless pays others to test its products on animals where required by law. This means that Avene is not cruelty-free.

    submitted bySee Spot run - 2 years ago

  • A: Avène is owned by a parent company that tests on animals. The parent company is Pierre Fabre, and this is not a cruelty-free company.

    submitted bySee Spot run - 2 years ago

Q: When opened for the first time, is it normal for there to be liquid separated from the cream? The one I received had about a teaspoon of liquid coming out of the tube before the actual cream.

submitted by sr - 1 year ago

    Follow-up on My Product Complaint

    Hello, I submitted a complaint 10 days ago regarding an issue with this cream. A large amount of light blue liquid is leaking from inside the product. I was informed that I would receive a response within 2–3 business days, but I have still not received any update. Could you please let me know how this issue will be resolved and when I can expect a response?

    A Cream That Actually Works

    After menopause, my dry skin broke out with several ultra dry patches. I tried everything. While things temporarily moisturized, nothing helped the dry patches go away. Until now. I use this twice a day and by the end of the second week I noticed the patches feeling like normal skin. This stuff really works!

    Not for texture

    I find that the occlusives, primarily the vegetable oil, clog my pores, congest my skin, and create or amplify any bumps on my face. Aquaphor or Vaseline would probably work better for my skin and are much more cost effective.

    COMPROMISED SKIN LOOKS/FEELS BETTER AFTER 1 USE

    Giving credit where due. Avène's Cicalfate+ is AMAZING. I highly recommend it if you've had actinic keratosis treatment (especially cyrotherapy followed by 2 rounds of fluorouracil). My under eye skin was already bad, but the staggered therapies left my treated area red, dry, and peeling months later. After only a day and a half of use, I've noticed a positive difference with this product. It is supposed to help restore the skin barrier, and I already love it. In this day and age, it's really rare to find a product that actually does what it claims do do. Merci mille fois, Avène !

    Great Cream, tips to reincorporate separation

    For all those saying it separated, it can do this if it was exposed to a cooler temperature. I warmed mine up in a cup of hot water and after shaking several times, the water was reincorporated and it works just fine. They also address this on their website. Hope this helps!

    Defective mixture?

    I’m very confused by this product. When I squeeze the tube to start the product flowing, I only get water to come out. I have tried shaking the product first to “mix” but it keeps happening. So it doesn’t apples very well.

    This product is a miracle!

    I'm so glad my dermatologist recommended this product to me! It has taken care of the dryness an dermatitis/rosacea on my face. My skin is smooth and combined with the thermal water spray -- i love my skin now! I have dealt with skin issues for quite a few years and this took care of the dryness within a matter of a few weeks. I will not go without this. Please don't change the ingredients!

    Wonderful cream

    Just bought this few weeks ago. Stage 4 lung cancer and chemo has wrecked my skin Dry, painful, ultra sensitive to everything . Used this product tiny bit at first. Now I do my lower chin 1x a day. No problems. Truly soothing. Non irritating ingredients. No weird smells. For my purposes, 5 stars. Not cheap. But a fingernails size gives thick good smear. No runny discharges Well worth the price.
