Eau Thermale Avène Cicalfate+ Intensive Restorative Face Serum, Fragrance-Free — Fast‑Absorbing Barrier Repair & Soothing

Eau Thermale Avène Cicalfate+ Intensive Restorative Serum is a fast‑absorbing facial serum designed to help restore and strengthen the skin’s barrier while soothing sensitivity.

This lightweight, fragrance‑free serum combines TRP‑Regulin™ and Pro‑Vitamin B5 to address sensations of tightness and support the skin’s natural defenses against daily environmental stressors. Formulated for all skin types — including the most sensitive — it absorbs quickly and layers easily under moisturizers or makeup. Clinical pharmacological testing on reconstructed human epidermis shows support for barrier restoration after one day under hydric stress.

How will this serum ease feelings of tightness or discomfort?

The TRP‑Regulin™ complex targets skin sensitivity pathways to calm sensations commonly linked with dryness. You should notice reduced tightness quickly thanks to the serum’s fast‑absorbing texture and immediate soothing ingredients. It’s non‑irritating and fragrance‑free to limit triggers for sensitive skin.

• Contains TRP‑Regulin™ to soothe sensitivity sensations.
• Lightweight, non‑sticky formula for rapid absorption.
• Fragrance‑free to minimize potential irritants.

How does Pro‑Vitamin B5 help rebuild the skin barrier?

Pro‑Vitamin B5 (panthenol) is included for its ability to support hydration and reinforce the skin’s protective layer. By attracting and retaining moisture, it helps the outer skin layers recover and function more effectively. Regular use supports a stronger barrier that better defends against everyday aggressors.

• Pro‑Vitamin B5 enhances hydration and resilience.
• Helps maintain moisture balance for healthier barrier function.
• Clinically tested on RHE models for barrier support under stress.

When and how should I incorporate this serum into my routine?

Apply to clean, dry skin once or twice daily before your moisturizer. A small pump or drop dispersed over the face and neck is enough; gently press the serum in rather than rubbing to aid absorption. It layers well under both daytime SPF and evening treatments.

• Use after cleansing and toning, before creams and sunscreen.
• Suitable for morning and night application.
• Works under makeup and other skincare products without pilling.

What skin types and concerns is this serum suitable for?

This serum is formulated for all skin types, including reactive and sensitive skin that tends toward tightness or irritation. Because it’s fragrance‑free and fast‑absorbing, it fits into routines focused on barrier repair, hydration, and calming sensations without adding heavy emollients. It’s also appropriate when skin needs a targeted boost after environmental stress or seasonal dryness.

• All skin types, including sensitive and reactive skin.
