Uriage Xemose C8+ Anti-scratch Shower Oil 1L — Gel-to-Oil Face & Body Wash for Very Dry Sensitive Skin, 8 Biomimetic Ceramides

Uriage Xemose C8+ Anti-scratch Shower Oil is a fragrance-free gel-to-oil cleanser that gently cleans, soothes tight, itchy skin and helps reduce scratching from the first use.

This 1 L pump bottle delivers a mild, nourishing gel-in-oil body and face wash crafted for very dry, sensitive and atopy-prone skin. Formulated without soap, fragrances or preservatives and enriched with Uriage Thermal Water, glycerin and shea butter extract, the cleansing oil preserves skin moisture while leaving a non-greasy protective film. Its patented Relipidant Active Complex with 8 biomimetic ceramides is designed to support the skin’s barrier, while a lightweight foaming action makes it easy to use daily for the whole family, including newborns.

How does this shower oil calm tightness and the urge to scratch?

The formula targets discomfort by combining humectants and lipids that restore immediate hydration and a soothing thermal water base. Clinical testing shows a rapid reduction in tightness sensations, helping skin feel less irritated after cleansing.

• Glycerin 19% attracts and retains moisture in the outer skin layers.
• Shea butter extract and 8 biomimetic ceramides rebuild the protective lipid film.
• Uriage Thermal Water soothes and contributes minerals that respect skin balance.
• Soap-free, fragrance-free texture minimizes triggering ingredients for sensitive skin.

What is unique about the gel-to-oil texture and how do I use it?

The product starts as a light gel and transforms into a creamy oil-foam when mixed with water, providing gentle cleansing without stripping natural lipids. It rinses clean yet leaves a moisturizing veil to reduce dryness between showers.

• Dispense onto damp skin or a washcloth, lather gently and rinse thoroughly.
• Non-greasy finish — follow with a moisturizing balm for very dry areas if needed.
• Convenient pump bottle for easy dosing in the shower and family use.
• Suitable for face and body, including newborns and sensitive skin types.

Which key ingredients support skin barrier recovery?

The shower oil combines a targeted relipidant complex and soothing agents to support barrier repair while cleansing. Ingredients are chosen to hydrate without irritation and to reinforce the skin’s natural defenses.

• 8 biomimetic ceramides mimic natural skin lipids to restore barrier function.
• Shea butter extract provides nourishing fatty acids to replenish lipids.
• Glycerin pulls moisture into the epidermis for immediate hydration.
• Uriage Thermal Water calms and helps preserve the skin’s microbiological balance.

Is this safe for babies and highly reactive skin?

Yes — the high-tolerance, dermatologically developed formula is designed for delicate and reactive skin, including infants and people prone to atopic symptoms. Its minimal-ingredient approach lowers the chance of irritation while maintaining effective cleansing and soothing action.

• Fragrance-free, soap-free, preservative-free and pH respectful.
• Tested under dermatological control on dry skin participants.
• Works as a family cleanser for all ages and sensitive skin types.
• Follow with a dedicated emollient balm for maximum relief on very dry patches.

Who is this for: Uriage Xemose C8+ Anti-scratch Shower Oil is for anyone with dry to very dry, reactive or atopy-prone skin who needs a gentle daily cleanser that soothes irritation and supports barrier recovery. It’s well suited for families looking for a single, high-tolerance face-and-body wash, caregivers washing newborn skin, and adults seeking a non-irritating option to minimize tightness and reduce scratching between moisturization steps.
