Product Information
Full details
The Avene Cicalfate+ Repairing Protective Cream SPF50+ is an ideal solution for individuals with sensitive or compromised skin who require both advanced barrier repair and high-level sun protection. It serves as a dual-action protective cream that accelerates the skin's natural recovery process while shielding it from UV damage to prevent post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation; however, its rich, protective formula may feel too heavy for those with extremely oily or acne-prone skin types.

Should I apply this before or after my moisturizer?

Can this be used on the face and body?
Yes, the Avene Cicalfate+ SPF50+ is formulated for use on both the face and body where protection and repair are needed.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty blending the cream into the skin
Warm a small amount of the cream between your fingertips before application to improve spreadability and reduce potential white cast.
Feeling of residue or heaviness
Apply a thinner layer and allow it to absorb for a few minutes before applying makeup or going outdoors.

- Fragrance-free and suitable for sensitive skin

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum efficacy, apply the cream generously to the affected area before any sun exposure. Because this product is a specialized treatment, it works best when applied twice daily or as directed by a dermatologist. For optimal care, keep the tube tightly capped and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct heat to maintain the integrity of the active ingredients. It is compatible with most non-comedogenic skincare products, but it is recommended to apply this as your final layer to allow the protective film to set properly on the skin.
