Eau Thermale Avène Xercalm A.D Ultra‑Rich Cleansing Bar 100 g — Fragrance‑Free, Soap‑Free Relief for Atopic‑Prone Skin

Avène Xercalm A.D Ultra-Rich Cleansing Bar is a fragrance-free, soap-free cleansing bar formulated to gently clean and help soothe moderately to severely dry, atopic dermatitis–prone skin.

Designed by Avène’s dermatological and hydrotherapy experts, this 100 g cleansing bar uses Avène Thermal Spring Water and skin-supportive ingredients to calm irritation while preserving the skin’s barrier and microbiome. Winner of a 2020 beauty award, the bar provides up to 48 hours of hydration and is suitable for daily AM and PM use, including sensitive and oncology-safe regimens.

How does the cleansing bar calm itching and irritation?

The formula centers on Avène Thermal Spring Water plus ultra-gentle cleansing agents that reduce friction and irritation during washing. It avoids harsh soaps and fragrances, which can strip moisture and exacerbate itching, and supports a gentler wash routine that helps minimize flare triggers.

• Avène Thermal Spring Water to soothe redness and sensitivity
• Soap-free surfactants that cleanse without stripping oils
• Formulated to respect the skin’s natural microbiome

Will this bar help keep skin hydrated between moisturizers?

This ultra-rich cleansing bar is formulated to lock in moisture during and after cleansing, supporting up to 48 hours of improved hydration when used as part of a skincare routine. While it boosts skin comfort and reduces tightness post-wash, pairing with an appropriate moisturizer maximizes barrier repair and long-term hydration.

• Rich emollients that reduce post-wash dryness
• Designed to complement daily moisturizing treatments
• Helps maintain skin elasticity and reduce flaking

Is the product safe for very sensitive or oncology skin?

Avène Xercalm A.D Ultra-Rich Cleansing Bar is fragrance-free and formulated to be oncology-safe and suitable for sensitive skin types. Its gentle, non-irritating composition makes it a practical option for individuals seeking low-risk cleansing during sensitive skin phases.

• Fragrance-free and low-allergy potential
• Soap-free to reduce irritation and dryness
• Tested for tolerance on delicate skin types

How should I use this bar for best results?

Use the bar with lukewarm water to create a light lather, apply gently to wet skin, then rinse and pat dry—avoid vigorous rubbing. For optimal skin recovery, follow immediately with a targeted moisturizer or emollient recommended for atopic-prone skin.

• Lather the bar with water before application
• Gently apply to wet skin; rinse thoroughly
• Pat dry and follow with moisturizer for barrier support

Who is this for: Avène Xercalm A.D Ultra-Rich Cleansing Bar is intended for people with moderately dry to severely dry skin prone to atopic dermatitis or eczema, including those with heightened sensitivity or undergoing oncology care.
