Description
The balm French paediatric dermatologists write on prescriptions before anything else — relieves itch within minutes, rebuilds the lipid barrier, and reduces flare-up frequency over time.
Avène XeraCalm A.D. is the emollient at the centre of French dermatological management of eczema and atopic dermatitis — in children and adults alike. In French pharmacies, when a parent arrives asking what to do about their child’s eczema, XeraCalm A.D. is the product the pharmacist reaches for first. It addresses the three underlying mechanisms that make atopic skin so difficult to manage.
Key Benefits
- 🦠 I-modulia (Prebiotic Active)
Rebalances the cutaneous microbiome — chronically disrupted in atopic dermatitis. A rebalanced microbiome means fewer inflammatory triggers and a measurable reduction in flare-up frequency with regular use. - 🧱 Dermo-Restructuring Lipids
A complex that mirrors the composition of the skin’s own intercellular cement — the mortar between skin cells that holds moisture in and irritants out. Physically rebuilds the lipid barrier from within, not just on the surface. - 💧 Avène Thermal Spring Water
Rich in selenium and silicates, with a clinically demonstrated anti-pruritic action. Calms the sensation of itch within minutes of application — immediate relief while the lipid complex works long-term. - 📅 Clinically proven results
Significant reduction in itch sensation within 5 minutes. Reduction in flare-up frequency and severity over 4 weeks. Improved measurable barrier function. Tested on atopic skin in infants, children, and adults.
