Eau Thermale Avène Cicalfate+ Hydrating Skin Recovery Emulsion 1.3 fl oz — post-procedure soothing, 24hr hydration

Avène Cicalfate+ Hydrating Skin Recovery Emulsion is a lightweight, soothing post-procedure emulsion that helps restore the skin barrier and deliver 24-hour hydration after dermatological treatments and tattoos.

This emulsion combines a gentle hydrating base with a postbiotic restorative ingredient to support recovery after non-ablative lasers, superficial peels, tattoos and microblading. The formula spreads easily, leaves a non-greasy finish, and the faint blue tint applies clear. Designed for face and body, it provides immediate cooling comfort while helping reduce visible irritation and residual marks over time.

How quickly does this emulsion soothe post-procedure discomfort?

The lightweight texture provides an immediate cooling sensation on contact and begins to relieve burning or stinging feelings right away. Continuous hydration for up to 24 hours helps decrease tightness and supports restored comfort throughout the day.

• Instant cooling finish on application
• Light, non-sticky emulsion that absorbs rapidly
• Formulated for delicate post-procedure skin

Can I use it after tattoos and how soon should I start?

For freshly done tattoos, wait 72 hours before applying to avoid interfering with the initial sealing phase; after that, apply twice daily as directed. For healed tattoos and routine maintenance, apply as needed to maintain hydration and improve the look of residual irritation.

• Wait 72 hours after tattooing before first application
• Use twice daily on tattooed skin after initial healing period
• Also suitable for microblading and other pigment procedures post-recovery

What procedures is Cicalfate+ suitable for and how should I apply it?

The emulsion is intended for use after non-ablative laser treatments, superficial chemical peels, microblading, and similar dermatological procedures. Apply to clean, dry skin once daily after the immediate post-procedure care window, following your practitioner’s instructions for timing and frequency.

• Use on face and body after approved procedures
• Apply to cleaned skin; follow clinician timing guidance
• Non-greasy formula that layers under makeup or sunscreen once healed

How does the formula support visible recovery without leaving residue?

The emulsion contains a postbiotic restorative ingredient combined with hydrating agents to help rebuild the skin’s barrier while minimizing visible residue. The pale blue tint disappears on application and the texture avoids greasy or sticky feels, making daily use comfortable and discreet.

• Postbiotic ingredient supports natural recovery processes
• 24-hour hydration from a lightweight, fast-absorbing base
• Applies transparently with a non-greasy finish
