Uriage Xemose C8+ Shower Oil for Very Dry Skin — Unscented anti-scratch, gel-to-oil cleanser

Uriage Xemose C8+ Shower Oil is a gentle gel-to-oil body and face cleanser made to soothe very dry, scratch-prone skin while reinforcing the skin barrier.

This unscented, high-tolerance shower oil cleanses without stripping moisture, transforming on contact with water into a creamy foam that calms tightness and reduces the urge to scratch. Designed for fragile or severely dry skin, its formulation blends biomimetic lipids, Uriage Thermal Water and nourishing butter to leave skin soft, more comfortable and primed for follow-up care.

How does this shower oil help skin that feels tight and itchy?

The Xemose C8+ Shower Oil soothes sensations of dryness by delivering replenishing lipids during cleansing rather than removing them. Its anti-scratch focus targets comfort from the first shower and reduces friction that can worsen irritation.

• Relipidant complex with 8 biomimetic ceramides to rebuild the surface lipid layer
• Shea butter adds immediate emollience to minimize tightness
• Uriage Thermal Water soothes and respects skin balance
• Gentle surfactants that cleanse without overdrying

What texture and experience can I expect in the shower?

The product starts as a lightweight gel that converts into a soft, milky foam when mixed with water, making it easy to spread and rinse. It does not leave a greasy film, so skin feels supple rather than sticky once dried.

• Gel-to-oil formula becomes creamy foam on contact with water
• Easy rinsing and non-sticky finish for daily use
• Unscented and ultra-light for comfort, including sensitive skin
• Suitable for face and body when extra gentleness is required

Is this safe for children, sensitive skin, and everyday use?

Yes — the fragrance-free, high-tolerance composition makes it suitable for the whole family, including newborns and those with reactive skin. It’s formulated to be mild enough for daily washing while supporting a healthy microbiome and barrier function.

• Fragrance-free and designed for high tolerance
• Appropriate for dry to very dry skin, from birth onward
• Supports natural skin flora with prebiotics in the wider Xemose approach
• Follow with an emollient balm for longer-lasting relief and restoration

How should I use the shower oil for best results?

Apply to damp skin each shower, massage gently to create foam, then rinse. For persistent dryness or scratching, complete your routine with an anti-scratch balm or moisturizing cream to lock in hydration.

• Use daily on damp skin; lather then rinse thoroughly
• Pat skin dry and apply Uriage anti-scratch balm afterwards
• Can be used on face and body where extra gentleness is needed

Who is this for: Uriage Xemose C8+ Shower Oil is intended for people with dry to very dry, fragile or reactive skin who need a cleansing product that calms tightness and reduces scratching. It’s a practical choice for adults, children and newborns when a fragrance-free, non-greasy daily cleanser is preferred. If your routine requires both gentle cleansing and ongoing repair, this shower oil pairs well with emollient balms and the rest of Uriage’s high-tolerance skincare range.
