Eau Thermale Avène Cicalfate+ Hydrating Skin Recovery Emulsion 1.3 fl oz — post-procedure aftercare, 24‑hour hydration

This updated formula from Eau Thermale Avène combines gentle restorative actives with a postbiotic ingredient to help support the skin barrier after dermatological treatments or tattooing. It has a cooling, non-greasy texture with a subtle blue tint that disappears on application, making it suitable for both face and body use. The emulsion is designed for daily aftercare to relieve discomfort and help reduce the appearance of residual marks and irritation commonly experienced following superficial procedures.

How quickly will I feel relief after applying this emulsion?

You can expect an immediate cooling sensation on contact, followed by continuous hydration that can last up to 24 hours. The lightweight emulsion absorbs without leaving a sticky or oily residue, so it feels comfortable under clothing or makeup.

• Instant cooling effect on application
• Fast-absorbing, non-greasy finish
• Formulated for 24-hour hydration

Can I use it after different dermatological treatments and on tattoos?

Yes — the emulsion is formulated for post-non-ablative laser, post-superficial chemical peel, post-microblading and for tattoo aftercare once initial healing allows. For tattoos, wait the recommended 72 hours before beginning twice-daily application to support healing and reduce irritation.

• Suitable for face and body post-superficial procedures
• Post-tattoo use advised after 72 hours, then twice daily
• Helps address residual marks and irritation from procedures

What makes this formula different from a regular moisturizer?

Cicalfate+ contains a restorative complex and a postbiotic ingredient tailored to damaged or sensitized skin, rather than just providing surface hydration. The emulsion targets comfort and barrier support after procedures, combining soothing agents with long-lasting moisture in a non-occlusive texture.

• Contains postbiotic restorative ingredient for barrier support
• Specifically developed for compromised or treated skin types
• Light blue tint applies transparently without residue

How should I include this product in my post-procedure routine?

Apply to clean, dry skin once daily following instructions from your practitioner; for tattoos, start after 72 hours and use twice daily. Avoid combining with strong exfoliants or actives until your skin has stabilized and follow any personalized aftercare guidance from your provider.

• Use on clean skin daily post-procedure
• For tattoos: wait 72 hours, then apply twice daily
• Use alongside professional aftercare recommendations
