When dry skin becomes synonymous with discomfort to the point of itching, in adults and even more so in children, it’s no longer just a question of moisturising: the skin's barrier function and comfort must be restored.
Find out more about our XeraCalm A.D. skin care products – specially designed for atopic skin – and how we put our expertise at the service of your peace of mind.
This is THE emergency SOS treatment for intense localized itching. It immediately reduces the intensity of the itching and reduces the dryness peaks of the recurring itchy areas on the face, body and eyelids. And because intense localised itching can happen anywhere, anytime, its small size means you can take it with you.
This relipidant cleansing oil cleanses the skin and protects it from the drying effects of water. Designed for very dry skin prone to atopic eczema and itching, it can be used in the flare-up phase.
Lipid-replenishing cleansing oil XeraCalm A.D is suitable for the whole family.

A tailor-made active ingredient for atopic skin: I-MODULIA®
Twelve years of research were necessary to develop the first unique and multi-competent biotechnological active ingredient derived from Avène thermal spring water:
I-modulia®
Formulated around this patented active ingredient, XeraCalm A.D is an ultra-innovative, ultra-effective and ultra-safe range suitable for the face and body of infants, children and adults. This extraordinary active ingredient acts directly on the elements involved in eczema-prone skin, and in particular on itching*.
In order to keep only the ingredients that are useful for the skin and to do without any preservatives, our laboratories have developed a process that is one of a kind: Sterile Cosmetics®. This unique technology allows the product to be kept sterile and free of any external contamination throughout its use.
Thus, XeraCalm A.D provides skin prone to eczema-prone skin with the respect and safety it’s looking for.
The Xeracalm A.D. Lipid-Replenishing Balm and Cream are used daily to limit and prevent skin dryness and itching*. It’s the SOS product to keep with you! Whether the balm or cream, adapt the texture to your skin type or the season: balm if your skin is very dry, cream when it is less so.
Soothe and relieve your skin quickly with an Avène thermal spring water compress: spray the water onto tissues and leave them on your face for 10 minutes. In case of itching*, regularly apply a soothing concentrate, including on the eyelids if necessary. In case of irritation, use a protective repairing cream once or twice a day. And as a preventive measure, moisturise and protect your skin with a lipid-replenishing cream or balm at least once a day.
Simple but essential daily gestures limit skin dryness and restore the skin's barrier function. This way, the skin is less and less itchy. Here is our advice:
Opt for gentle hygiene with a cleansing oil and lukewarm water between 32-34°C, and make sure their shower or bath does not exceed 10 minutes. Moisturise and protect the skin with a lipid-replenishing cream or balm at least once a day, even when the skin condition seems under control.
