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

Avène Cicalfate+ Hydrating Skin Recovery Emulsion is a lightweight, postbiotic-enriched emulsion that soothes and hydrates skin after dermatological procedures and tattoos while helping support the skin’s recovery.

This emulsion from Eau Thermale Avène combines a cooling, non-greasy texture with targeted restorative ingredients designed for use after non-ablative laser treatments, superficial chemical peels, microblading and tattoos. The formula delivers continuous hydration for up to 24 hours, goes on with a subtle blue tint that becomes transparent, and aims to reduce visible irritation and residual marks associated with post-procedure skin.

How does this emulsion help skin after a dermatological procedure?

The formula focuses on calming irritation and supporting the barrier while providing lasting moisture without a heavy finish. It contains a postbiotic restorative ingredient intended to encourage natural repair processes and a soothing base that reduces sensations of burning or discomfort.

• Lightweight emulsion absorbs quickly for a non-sticky feel.
• Cooling sensation on application to ease immediate discomfort.
• 24-hour continuous hydration to maintain skin moisture balance.
• Postbiotic restorative ingredient to help restore the skin environment.

When and how should I apply this after a tattoo or microblading?

For tattoo care wait the initial healing phase recommended by your artist—generally 72 hours—then apply the emulsion twice daily to hydrated, clean skin. For microblading, follow your practitioner’s protocol; this emulsion can be used to soothe and hydrate during the superficial healing window.

• After tattoo: wait 72 hours, then apply twice daily.
• Post-microblading: follow your technician, then use as directed to soothe.
• Always apply to clean, dry skin; avoid open, bleeding wounds.
• Use consistently for visible reduction of irritation and marks.

Is this product suitable for face and body use?

Yes — the emulsion is formulated for both facial and body applications following non-ablative procedures and superficial peels. Its light texture makes it easy to spread over treated areas without leaving residue, making it practical for larger zones as well as delicate facial skin.

• Safe for face and body post-procedure use on intact skin.
• Non-greasy finish suitable for daytime or nighttime routines.
• Subtle tint applies transparently, avoiding visible residue.
• Compact 1.3 fl oz size convenient for travel or clinic follow-up.

What should I expect in terms of texture and appearance?

The emulsion has a lightweight, lotion-like consistency with a faint blue hue that blends clear on the skin. It delivers an immediate cooling feel, absorbs quickly, and leaves skin feeling hydrated without stickiness or a heavy film.

• Light, lotion-like texture for easy application.
• Blue tint disperses clear, so no visible residue remains.
• Cooling sensation on contact to reduce perceived discomfort.
• Formulated to provide hydration for up to 24 hours per application.
