Uriage Xemose C8+ Soothing Nourishing Balm for Very Dry Skin — 200ml, fragrance-free, fast-absorbing

Uriage Xemose C8+ Soothing Nourishing Balm is a fragrance-free balm that soothes and intensely nourishes very dry skin from the first application.

This balm is formulated to relieve itching sensations tied to extreme dryness and to restore comfort for both face and body. Powered by the C8+ innovation, it combines 8 biomimetic ceramides with 10% shea butter and Illipe oil, plus two Uriage patents aimed at reducing the urge to scratch. The texture transforms from balm to a fast-absorbing oil, leaving no sticky or greasy residue and allowing immediate dressing after application. Dermatologically tested and safe for the whole family, including newborns, it supports the skin’s moisture barrier and provides lasting comfort up to 48 hours for many users.

How quickly does this balm reduce the urge to scratch?

The formula is designed to calm sensations of itching from the first application and sustain relief. Two Uriage laboratory patents, TLR2-REGUL and CHRONOXINE, help modulate factors linked to itching and deliver prolonged comfort for very dry skin.

• Soothing action noticeable immediately on application
• Patented active complex for prolonged anti-itch effect (up to 48 hours reported*)
• Suitable for repeated daily use to reduce flare-ups

What key ingredients restore and protect the skin barrier?

Uriage Xemose C8+ blends biomimetic lipids and rich plant butters to rebuild the skin’s natural barrier and lock in moisture. The 8 biomimetic ceramides mimic skin lipids to repair and strengthen the barrier, while shea butter and Illipe oil replenish and soften dry, rough areas.

• 8 biomimetic ceramides to help restore barrier function
• 10% shea butter plus Illipe oil for deep, long-lasting nourishment
• Non-comedogenic texture suited to sensitive skin regions

Is the texture suitable for everyday family use and immediate dressing?

The balm melts into an oil on contact, spreading easily and absorbing quickly without leaving a greasy film. This makes it practical for morning routines, dressing infants, or layering under clothing without delay.

• Transforms from a solid balm into a fast-absorbing oil
• Non-sticky, non-greasy finish for comfortable wear
• Safe for face and body, including sensitive areas and newborn skin

How should I use it across different ages and skin types?

Apply to dry or very dry areas as needed: after bathing, before bed, or when signs of discomfort appear. The gentle, fragrance-free formula fits into family skincare routines and can be used on babies, children, and adults who experience persistent dryness.

• Use after cleansing or bathing on damp or dry skin
• Apply generous amount to rough patches, elbows, knees, and cheeks
• Safe for daily use across all ages, from newborns upward

Who is this for? Uriage Xemose C8+ Soothing Nourishing Balm is intended for people and families dealing with very dry, tight, or itchy skin who need a high-tolerance, intensely nourishing product. It’s especially suited to sensitive skin that reacts to common irritants, caregivers looking for a reliable newborn-safe moisturizer, and anyone who wants fast relief plus restorative barrier support without perfumed ingredients.
