I am such a huge fan of French Pharmacy skincare products, and have been as long as I can remember. Avène Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream is one of my most recent discoveries, and what a discovery it has proven to be.

Avène Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream is rich, nourishing cream that is formulated to restore and protect the skin, and this gentle and fragrance-free formula calms irritated skin, moisturizes dry skin and leaves it supple and luminous. It is a very concentrated cream, and therefore only a small amount is needed to achieve the desired results. It has a cocooning effect as it envelopes the skin, and it feels really wonderful. If you receive your bottle and the cream has separated, and liquid comes out, vigorously shake it for a while so that the ingredients can reintegrate. While I have normal to combination skin, this cream is not too rich for my skin, and during the winter months when my skin was dehydrated, it worked wonders in its ability to restore moisture.
