More water than cream 🤷🏼♀️
Why is this pure water? At first I thought it was expired and then I read other reviews of this with same issues. I shook the tube to combine the cream and water and nothing-water still came out first. You can hear the water swishing in it when you shake it. Totally disappointed. And I love Avene products. ☹️

Do not waste your money!
I just purchased this bottle and the formula must have been changed an Avene must be aware since there are multiple complaints of the same issue. I have tried shaking the tube and massaging the tube but it does not work and there is water everywhere when squeezing. It is a complete mess. I have used this product in the past and it worked so well but Im disappointed I will have to switch the LaRoche Posay because the formula has not been fixed by Avene

Disappointed
I loved this product but I opened a new Cicaltate+ Restorative cream and it was just full of clear liquid. I am so upset. I was so excited to open a new one when I loved it the last time I used it.

Product expired!!!!
I’ve been using this product quite a while, and I know for a fact that it is amazing but the store is selling expired products or they are not storing them in the right conditions. As soon as I opened it water began to come out and the cream was separated from the liquid, I really don’t know what was happening there. Just tried to apply it on the back of my hand to see if it was ok and my had began getting itchy. Sooo disappointed because this product is not cheap!!!!

My first time trying this product. This product is too watery. Some people said shaking the product and warming it up will make it less watery. That has not worked.

Awful awful AWFUL
What a MESSSS!!!! I am really surprised that this product is still on the shelf, has not been reformulated, or perhaps put in a jar. What you are going to find when you buy this, is nothing but water. You are going to pour water out of the tube everywhere, no matter how much you shake it no matter how much you need the tube, water. Within that water you’re gonna get clumps of white cream. Are you kidding me? And this is still on the shelf? Whoever did the formulary did it wrong?

Amazing Product
I have used Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream for almost 2 years now. I have sensitive skin that also gets very dry and flaky in the winter regardless of what I do......until I found this product. We had an unusually cold winter but it never showed on my face! I will also be 60 later this year, and Avene has helped reduce those fine lines and wrinkles and people don't believe me when I tell them my age. My 25 year old daughters use this as well. We've also used it as a diaper cream for our granddaughter and it was a perfect solution.

Separates, but still the best.
As mentioned by several reviewers, this product separates. I learned that this happens if it’s stored somewhere cold, like in warehouses or storage facilities. If you place the tube in some hot water for a while and then shake and knead it, you can re-emulsify it pretty well. You can still use it if it’s separated, and it’s still just as effective. If you want to make sure you get a product that is still properly emulsified, you may want to order it directly from Avene. I haven’t found a cream better than this one. I use it every night as my last step after tretinoin.

Watery!!!
I love the way it feels but it’s super watery. Where no cream is coming out- it’s just water! Ive tried shaking it and then just leaving it and both times very watery. Love the way it feels though!

Won’t buy again :-(
I used this twice a day for years to help my perioral dermatitis, but the last two tubes were badly separated into water and a thick paste, which I was unable to recombine. In one tube, the two substances sort of curdled when I tried mixing them. Not something I wanted to risk putting on my face. I’ve been having some success with LaRoche products, which I’m having to switch to. Sad that Avène knows about this problem, but just says they’d like to chat about it instead of fixing it.

Cery watery bur ver hydrating
Very watery? I'm not sure if the product separated or if this was intentional? There's a lot of water that has all come out of the tube and then I've tried to mix it and massage the tub but there's still lots more. Not sure if this is normal?

Defective Product
Used to be an awesome cream, but the reformulation ruined it. I have bought several tubes in both sizes from different retailers and they ALL are defective. No one should have to "fix" a product that they paid this much for. Shaking and kneading the tube does not work anyway. Do Not Buy until Avene fixes this issue!

Inconsistent formula
The first time I bought this - I absolutely fell in LOVE with it. It was incredible for my skin. Since then, I’ve attempted to buy it 3 times and unfortunately the formulation is not consistent. All 3 bottles have been basically pure water. No amount of shaking or anything helps it and they’re unusable. It was money down the drain. It’s disappointing and will not continue trying to repurchase.
