Avène Cicalfate Post-Procedure Skin Repair Emulsion…

Avène Cicalfate Post-Procedure is a repairing emulsion for damaged skin after dermatological procedures. It is specifically created to calm the feeling of irritation, redness, and overheating of the skin. It is commonly advised by dermatologists to soothe the skin after superficial procedures such as laser, peeling, microdermabrasion, and micro-needling, among others.

Avène Cicalfate Post-Procedure is indicated to provide comfort and softness to irritated and damaged skin by dermatological procedures.

The Formula

Developed in a lightweight texture, non-greasy, non-sticky, and easy to apply, it has 4 active ingredients that act in synergy to replenish and soothe the skin:

• Sucralfate is responsible for the repair of the skin surface;
• Copper Sulfate and Zinc Sulfate are a purifying combination, which reduces the risk of bacterial proliferation (very common after more aggressive procedures);
• Avène Thermal Spring Water is rich in minerals and trace elements, which soothe and calm irritated and overheated skin.

With a texture designed for peeling skins, sensitized to the touch, and overheated, it allows an easy application. Leaves no white mask effect on the face! It becomes transparent after application.

I used the Cicalfate emulsion for 2 weeks after my peel. What can I apply now?

We advise you to continue using the Cicalfate Post-Dermatological Repair Emulsion until you no longer feel any discomfort or redness. Then go back to your usual skincare routine.
