Avène XeraCalm A.D Balm 200ml is a rich, fragrance‑free nourishing balm designed to soothe itchy, very dry and sensitive skin while reinforcing the skin's natural barrier.

Developed by Eau Thermale Avène for sensitive and atopy‑prone skin, this 200ml balm delivers long‑lasting hydration and calming care suitable for adults, children and infants. The formula focuses on restoring comfort after dryness and reducing the urge to scratch, with a texture intended to seal in moisture for extended relief. Lightweight for a balm yet deeply nourishing, it can be incorporated into daily skincare routines or used as targeted care during flare‑ups, pregnancy or periods of increased skin sensitivity.

How does this balm help dry, itchy skin?

The XeraCalm A.D balm combines hydrating and barrier‑supporting ingredients to limit water loss and soothe irritation. It aims to ease the sensation of tightness and reduce visible signs of skin distress while replenishing lipids.

• Restores and strengthens the skin barrier to lock in moisture.
• Provides up to 48 hours of hydration when used consistently.
• Soothes sensations of itching to promote comfort.

How should I use the 200ml balm in my daily routine?

Use on clean, dry skin—apply generously to affected areas once or twice daily, or more often as needed. Massage gently until absorbed and reapply after bathing to lock in moisture.

• Apply directly to dry patches, elbows, knees, or full body for extensive dryness.
• Best used after a lukewarm shower to trap hydration.
