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.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this avene cicalfate restorative protective cream for about 2 weeks so far and to be honest , I wasn’t really sure how I felt about this cream . At first I felt like it was too thick and felt greasy when applied . I have been struggling with breakouts lately, I was nervous to put such a thick cream over my skin just in case . I haven’t noticed any new breakouts after using it . I’ve noticed it helps to heal skin though, on my chin I have a patch of dry skin that I can’t get to go away and this cream has helped to smooth that out and moisturize. I use it at night time as a barrier cream and I have grown to really like it . It’s a non scented thick cream , comes in a metal tube and is easy to apply . It can help to restore skin irritation and dryness in 2 days which is actually amazing . I will continue to use this and see what happens after using longer than 2 weeks . I feel that this would be excellent for people with super dry skin, , sensitive skin, rosacea, or excema . It doesn’t take much though! Just a little bit goes really far.

A Game-Changer for My Daughter’s Eczema-Prone Hand

5 out of 5 stars
cooperc5d52_9445 - 8 days ago
originally posted on influenster.com
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Avène Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream for free to test, and it’s honestly one of the most effective products we’ve ever tried for my 8-year-old daughter’s eczema. She’s struggled with painful cracks and sores on her hands since infancy, and finding something that works and doesn’t sting has always been a challenge—until now. Within 48 hours of using this cream, we saw a drastic improvement. The deep cracks began to heal, redness faded, and the skin started to look and feel healthier. She actually wants to apply it because it doesn’t burn or cause discomfort—a huge win for a child with sensitive skin. Although I’m not entirely sure what a “postbiotic ingredient” is, what matters most is that this cream works, is gentle enough for kids, and lives up to its claims. It’s now a staple in our home, and I’d recommend it to any parent dealing with similar skin issues.

Formula CHANGED

The formula did change! It used to be thick and it would have a bit of white cast til you rubbed it in well which was nice if you were letting it sit for a while. Now it’s super watery and thin. The packaging is also not the same which doesn’t matter but the formula was better before. :(

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cream is thick yet spreads easily on the skin. It feels so hearty as it goes on and absorbs quickly. I honestly don’t notice any scent and it hydrates like crazy. The tube feels small but it is concentrated enough that a little goes a long way. I used this in my hands and arms and dry spots. Works so well!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Avene Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream is a thick rich cream that goes on smoothly. Gentle moisturizer for sensitive skin that doesn't leave an oily feeling after applying and quickly soaks into your skin. There is no scent at all which is great. Definitely a must-have in any household with little ones. It’s very reliable, gentle, and totally worth it! @influenster @avene #complimentary

Soothing, fragrance-free cream that calms redness

5 out of 5 stars
lisaost31051_399 - 11 days ago
originally posted on influenster.com
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have very sensitive skin that flares up easily—especially in summer when it’s hot and humid, and in winter when it’s cold and windy. My cheeks often get red, dry, and irritated, and not many products calm it down without making things worse. This Avène Cicalfate+ cream has been amazing. It’s rich but doesn’t feel too heavy, and I love that it’s completely fragrance-free, so it doesn’t sting or cause more redness. I apply a small amount after cleansing and it immediately soothes the discomfort, especially around my nose and cheeks. I also love that I can carry it with me and reapply during the day if my skin feels tight or irritated. And the best part—it’s gentle enough that even my little nephew can use it when his skin gets dry. This is definitely something I’ll keep repurchasing. Avène always delivers when it comes to caring for sensitive skin. Really a plus that its fragrance free! Its a new must have for my sensitive skin!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cream is very thick and dense, and takes some rubbing in, but I’ve been using it on some problem spots on my hands that get agggravated when they get to dry. It’s really helped so far, and I like the lack of scent with this cream too. I haven’t used it on my face, but it seems really thick and would probably only work as a night treatment if needed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I only recently became familiar with the Avène brand and love their Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream! This cream provides immediate relief to my skin, calming it down effectively and leaving it feeling soothed and moisturized. It works wonders on both the oily and dry areas of my combination skin, successfully taming aggravated patches without feeling heavy or greasy. There is a natural, subtle scent and the packaging is practical and hygienic, allowing for easy application while ensuring the product stays protected. The cream's texture is smooth and creamy, absorbing quickly and leaving my skin feeling soft and nourished. With its beneficial ingredients, including thermal spring water and a blend of restorative actives, Cicalfate+ has become a staple in my skincare routine, providing a perfect balance for my skin's needs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cream provides much needed nourishment and protection to my sensitive skin, rejuvenates and protects leaving you feeling moisturized and providing a youthful and naturally radiant look. Not greasy or oily with a smooth silky texture. Love the simple ingredients. It is recommended that you apply twice per day, but a little goes a long way. I have personally had very positive results and will continue to use this screen.

Lush Protection In A Cream

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I truly don’t know how I lived without this Avène Cicalfate Cream. It has completely changed the way I care for my skin. Anytime I have irritation, dryness, or even just that uncomfortable, tight feeling, this cream is my absolute go-to. It’s rich but never greasy, and it melts into my skin like it was made for it. What amazes me most is how fast it works. I’ll apply it before bed, and by morning, my skin looks calmer, softer, and just… happier. It’s like a little miracle in a tube. Even when my skin is at its most sensitive, this cream feels soothing and reassuring, never stinging or heavy. The texture is lush, the feeling is comforting, and the results are everything I could have hoped for. It’s not just a skincare product for me anymore — it’s a security blanket. I will never be without it again.
