Avène XeraCalm A.D Lipid-Replenishing Cleansing Oil
Avène XeraCalm A.D Lipid-Replenishing Cleansing Oil is a gentle, fragrance-free cleansing oil designed for dry to very dry, sensitive and eczema-prone skin. It cleanses while helping nourish and soothe the skin, making it an ideal first step in a daily routine for skin that feels dry, tight or itchy.
With a soap-free formula and physiological pH, this cleansing oil respects the skin’s natural balance and helps preserve its microbiome. You can use it on the face, body and scalp, including during periods when the skin feels particularly uncomfortable.
Its gentle formula suits newborns, children and adults. It also works for pregnant and breastfeeding women and people undergoing or recovering from anti-cancer treatment.
What Is XeraCalm A.D Cleansing Oil Used For?
Dry skin can lose lipids and become more vulnerable to external stress, leading to feelings of tightness, discomfort and itching. XeraCalm A.D Lipid-Replenishing Cleansing Oil cleanses without unnecessarily stripping the skin while helping replenish its lipid content.
It helps to:
- Gently cleanse dry and very dry skin
- Nourish and replenish skin lipids
- Provide 24-hour hydration
- Soothe feelings of discomfort and dryness-related itching
- Support the skin barrier
- Help preserve the skin microbiome
- Leave the skin feeling soft and comfortable
The formula also works on intimate areas and does not sting the eyes, making it suitable for delicate skin.
Key Ingredients
I-modulia®
I-modulia® is a patented postbiotic active ingredient derived from Avène Thermal Spring Water. It helps reduce sensations of itching associated with skin dryness while supporting the skin’s natural defences and helping reduce irritation.
Skin-Similar Lipids
The formula contains a concentrated nourishing complex rich in fatty acids. These skin-similar lipids help nourish the skin and support its protective barrier.
Avène Thermal Spring Water
Avène Thermal Spring Water contributes soothing, softening and comfort-enhancing properties to the formula, making it particularly appropriate for dry and sensitive skin.
The formula also contains glycerin, a humectant that helps maintain skin hydration.
Who Is It Suitable For?

You can use it for:
- Newborns, children and adults

- Face, body and scalp

How to Use XeraCalm A.D Cleansing Oil
Use the cleansing oil once or twice a day.
In the Shower
Apply the oil to wet hands and gently lather. Spread it over wet skin and rinse thoroughly.
In the Bath
For an additional nourishing cleansing step, add five pumps to the bathwater. This approach helps protect the skin from the drying effects that bathing can sometimes cause.
After cleansing, gently pat the skin dry rather than rubbing it.
Proven Hydration and Comfort
Clinical testing supports the moisturising and soothing benefits of XeraCalm A.D Lipid-Replenishing Cleansing Oil. A study found 24-hour hydration after a single application.
In a three-week study involving 55 adults, children and infants under dermatological and paediatric supervision, the product reduced sensations of itching caused by dryness by 95% after three weeks of use.

- Maintain comfort: Apply your moisturising care consistently, particularly after bathing, to help prevent the skin from becoming excessively dry.
This simple approach combines gentle cleansing with regular lipid-replenishing care for dry, sensitive and eczema-prone skin.
