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 gentle gel‑to‑oil face and body wash that soothes very dry, sensitive skin from the first shower while helping reduce scratching and tightness.

This 1 L shower oil from Uriage is formulated for fragile, dry-to-very-dry skin that needs everyday repair and comfort. Its lightweight gel-to-oil texture transforms into a creamy foam on contact with water, cleansing without stripping natural lipids. The fragrance-free, high-tolerance formula combines a relipidant complex of 8 biomimetic ceramides and shea butter with Uriage Thermal Water to respect the skin’s natural balance and leave skin feeling soft and soothed.

How does this shower oil relieve scratching and tightness?

The product targets sensations of tightness and the urge to scratch by restoring surface lipids and calming the skin barrier. Soothing agents and hydrating elements work quickly on contact to reduce discomfort while cleansing.

• Contains 8 biomimetic ceramides that help rebuild the skin’s protective layer.
• Shea butter replenishes lipids to limit water loss and reduce dryness.
• Uriage Thermal Water provides mineral-rich soothing support during the shower.
• Fragrance-free, high‑tolerance base reduces irritation risk for sensitive skin.

What is gel-to-oil texture and why does it matter in the shower?

The gel-to-oil formulation starts as an ultra-light gel and converts into a soft, creamy foam when mixed with water. This allows easy spreading and gentle cleansing without leaving a greasy film, and it rinses cleanly while preserving skin moisture.

• Transforms on contact with water for smooth application and a comforting foam.
• Non-sticky finish that’s easy to rinse for daily shower use.
• Designed to be compatible with follow-up balms for enhanced repair.

Can the whole family use this? Is it safe for the face and body?

Yes—this fragrance-free, high-tolerance wash is formulated for face and body use and is suitable for the whole family, including newborns and sensitive skin types. Its gentle cleansing action and relipidant ingredients make it practical for routine use across ages.

• Suitable from birth; intended for sensitive, dry to very dry skin.
• Facial-safe formulation that avoids heavy residues or irritating perfumes.
• Works well as the cleansing step before applying an anti-scratch balm or moisturizer.

Which active ingredients provide hydration and barrier support?

The formula pairs biomimetic ceramides with nourishing shea butter and the calming properties of Thermal Water. These components collaborate to moisturize, replenish lipids, and support the skin’s surface for better resilience after washing.

• 8 biomimetic ceramides: mimic skin lipids to rebuild the barrier.
• Shea butter: delivers emollient nourishment to reduce flaking and tightness.
• Uriage Thermal Water: mineral-rich and soothing to temper sensitivity.

Who is this for? Uriage Xemose C8+ Anti-scratch Shower Oil is aimed at anyone with dry, sensitive, or easily irritated skin who needs a mild daily cleanser that helps reduce scratching sensations. It’s practical for families seeking a single face-and-body wash with high tolerance and no added fragrance, and for people who prefer a light, non-greasy texture that works well under follow-up moisturizers or balms.
