Eau Thermale Avène XeraCalm A.D Lipid-Replenishing Cleansing Oil 25.3 oz — oil-to-foam, gentle for dry sensitive skin

Avène XeraCalm A.D Lipid-Replenishing Cleansing Oil is a gentle oil-to-lather cleanser for face, body, and scalp that soothes dry, itchy skin while supporting the skin’s barrier and microbiome.

This 25.3 oz cleansing oil from Eau Thermale Avène is formulated to cleanse without stripping — ideal for fragile, dry, or easily irritated skin. Its oil-based texture transforms into a light foam on contact with water, helping lock in moisture while reducing the drying effects of bathing. The formula is safe for the whole family, including newborns, and can be used in bath or shower routines to gently care for skin prone to atopic tendencies.

How does this cleanser hydrate and protect sensitive skin?

The cleansing oil contains lipid-replenishing ingredients that help restore the skin’s barrier and retain moisture after rinsing. By avoiding harsh surfactants and using an oil texture that emulsifies, it minimizes tightness and preserves natural skin lipids.

• Oil-to-foam formula that seals in hydration during cleansing
• Restores barrier lipids to reduce water loss
• Designed to be non-stripping and gentle on delicate skin

Can I use it on my baby or on the scalp?

Yes — the formulation is suitable for newborns and is gentle enough for body, face, and scalp. It removes impurities without irritating, making it a practical choice for family wash routines and for caring for dry, flaky scalps.

• Safe for newborn skin: mild ingredients and low irritation potential
• Effective on scalp to reduce dryness without harsh detergents
• One product for multi-area use: simplifies bath time

What makes it microbiome-friendly and different from regular cleansers?

The product focuses on maintaining a healthy balance of skin microflora by avoiding aggressive cleansing agents that can disrupt beneficial bacteria. Its gentle emulsifying oils clean while preserving the natural ecosystem of the skin surface.

• Formulated to cleanse without upsetting the skin’s microbiome
• Mild, non-irritating ingredients that respect skin flora
• Helps maintain comfort and reduce post-wash dryness

How should I incorporate it into my daily shower or bath?

Apply the oil to wet skin, massage to create a light lather, then rinse thoroughly; for scalp use, gently massage into the roots before rinsing. Because it’s formulated to protect lipids, use it as your primary gentle cleanser when skin needs extra hydration and comfort.

• Use daily for face, body, and scalp on wet skin
• Massage to emulsify, then rinse to leave a hydrated film
• Suitable as the main cleanser for dry or atopy-prone skin
