Eau Thermale Avène Xercalm A.D Ultra-Rich Cleansing Bar 100 g — soap-free for atopic/eczema-prone skin, fragrance-free

Designed by Avène’s dermatological and hydrotherapy expertise, this ultra-rich cleansing bar targets moderately to severely dry, eczema-prone skin. Its gentle formula supports the skin’s barrier, helps calm sensations of discomfort, and preserves the skin’s natural microbiome while delivering prolonged hydration.

How does this cleansing bar help skin that flares from eczema?

The formula avoids harsh surfactants and fragrances that can irritate compromised skin, instead using soothing ingredients that reduce the feeling of tightness and itching after washing. It focuses on gentle removal of impurities while maintaining essential lipids that protect the barrier.

• Soap-free cleansing minimizes stripping of natural oils
• Contains Avène Thermal Spring Water known for soothing properties
• Formulated to support the skin’s microbiome and barrier recovery
• Clinically designed for atopic-prone skin types

Is this safe for daily use, including morning and evening routines?

Yes — the cleansing bar is formulated for twice-daily use and gentle enough to use on both face and body when skin is prone to dryness or flares. Regular use helps maintain hydration over time and reduces the need for repeated aggressive washing.

• Recommended AM and PM cleansing to remove build-up without irritation
• Lather with water and apply to wet skin, then rinse and pat dry
• Follow with a compatible moisturizer to lock in hydration
• Oncology-safe formulation for sensitive-condition suitability

What skin benefits can I expect after use?

Users typically notice immediate gentler cleansing with less stinging or tightness compared with traditional soaps. The bar also contributes to longer-lasting hydration and a calmer skin sensation, helping skin feel more comfortable between moisturizations.

• Soothes itching and reduces post-wash discomfort
• Supports up to 48 hours of hydration when paired with proper care
• Helps preserve natural skin flora for healthier barrier function
• Awarded recognition for sensitive-skin performance

How should I use and store the cleansing bar for best results?

Use on wet skin by creating a light lather with hands or a soft cloth, then rinse thoroughly and pat the skin dry. Store the bar in a dry, ventilated soap dish between uses to prolong its life and maintain its texture.

• Create a lather with water before applying to skin
• Rinse fully and gently pat dry—avoid rubbing fragile skin
• Apply a reassuring moisturizer immediately after cleansing
• Keep the bar dry between uses to extend longevity
