This stuff works! I wanted to try a dupe of the la roche posay cicaplast, since they’re being sued. It does feel a little bit grainy but blends in.

I saw that this cream was going viral so I wanted to try it, since I needed a new cream. So far it’s been amazing on my skin paired with the Avene retinol. One downside is that it is a thicker, creamier, paste-like consistency, which some may not like. But as someone with oily skin it has surprisingly worked great on me. No new breakouts, my pores appear smaller. Definitely worth the buy!!!
Amazing!

Cicalfate is amazing! My skin has been red and dry since 2020. Cicalfate has eliminated the redness. The texture is thick without being heavy.

I had high hopes for this cream. I kept hearing good things about it like how it would give you glass skin. However, there was so much water in the tube and even when I mixed it, water continued to pour out. Once I finally got to the cream, it was an odd texture and there was no way that I was gonna put it on my face. Very disappointed and had to return the product.

I am so disappointed to find my tube of Avene Cicaltate squirted clear watery substance on me. It was not easy to squeeze at first, so I put some pressure to release some product. Out came a little bit of hardened goop then a flush of clear viscous liquid! Very strange! I bought this tube just 2 months ago and it’s useless now! This used to be my reliable “go-to” product for red, bumpy, angry skin. But this experience proved otherwise. Just a waste of money!

This cream is very moisturizing and has really helped my eczema recover. It’s especially valuable since I work in the medical field and need to maintain a professional appearance. I love that I can even pair it with a low-grade retinol for anti-aging benefits—something I didn’t think was possible before. I’m truly grateful for this product.
Just blue water and sludge - no cream in the tube!

COMPLETE GARBAGE! I got a tube full of blue water and some sludge at the bottom that isn't even cream. When you shake the tube, it sounds like its just slushy water and it leaked out through the seal and squirted all over when the top was removed. SERIAL Number 3- 282770-204681 on the top line, and 6 -73914-93634 on the bottom. Expiration date - 02/27 and the Code on the bottom of the box is 4A13P. HORRIBLE! This is not even usable and is a waste of money! Other people have also complained about this, but I'm unsure if Avene will stand behind their product. They also changed the tube from a flexible metal to a full-on plastic and I think it ruined the cream. I want a refund! If I could give this ZERO stars I would.

Is this supposed to come out like water? Its awful

This stuff was just water…. Perhaps a bad batch or is that what it is? It says cream in the box and tube but it was a mess when I opened the tube and water went everywhere. I tried to shake it back together and squeezed the tube for about 20 min to nothing but water …. I guess you either love this or hate it… I don’t see how it is supposed to do what it claims. I had received it in a care package since I was going through chemo and cancer treatments and they said that this was the best stuff ever. Perhaps they got a different texture or formula or brand something cause this was awful and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. Save your money and if you want water just run a glass under a faucet. Highly highly highly disappointed Wouldn’t let me add picture

I have used this in the past and just reordered…it is completely different. This is a watery mess, not just a little separation. You can hear that it is at least half liquid when you shake the tube. I really hope I able to return this.

Excellent Barrier cream

FK135 - 27 days ago

Cicalfate + Restorative cream is the best on the market. Fragrance free, non greasy, non comedogenic formulat that melts into the skin, and great for sensitive and reactive skin. I used it as a sandwich method with Retin A, and no irritation/peeling at all. I highly recommend it to my patients. People complain about that it seperates, I never had an issue. All these people are pushing Avene to refomate the formula. If they ever add an emulsifier in it; it will definitely destroy the formula and it will become pore clogging. This is the only cream from Avene that has done wonders for my skin barrier. Avene has destroyed most of their Tolerance line when they reformulated. They used to have Avene fragrance free gel face wash, which was a gem on the market. They replaced it with an inferior irritant foam cleanser. So sad. I hope that they won't ruin this formula by reformulating it. No every product need to have hyaluronic acid or niacinamide. A lot of sensitivites are on the rise due to these trendy ingredients. Why not just come with one serum that has the ingredient so people can layer it. They definitely will be loose lot of customers if they ever change the Cicalfate + Restorative including me!

My dermatologist suggested I use this to recover from laser surgery that left my skin extremely dry. This was the only cream that worked quickly and effectively. I’ve used it ever since, even though I no longer have extremely dry skin. It just feels better when I do and it’s a good base — not greasy or too shiny.
