What is Avène Cold Cream Hand Cream used for?

Hands often experience more environmental stress than other areas of the body. Frequent washing, hand sanitiser, cold weather and wind can weaken the skin’s comfort and leave it feeling dry, tight or rough.

This hand cream for very dry and sensitive skin helps counteract these effects. It:

• Provides immediate and intensive hydration.
• Nourishes dry and very dry hands.
• Helps protect the skin from external aggressors.
• Relieves the sensation of tightness and discomfort.
• Helps maintain skin softness and flexibility.
• Supports the skin’s protective barrier.
• Helps prevent dryness and cracking.
• Leaves hands comfortable without a greasy feel.

The water-resistant formula makes it particularly practical for everyday hand care.

Cold Cream: Avène’s protective nourishing technology

At the heart of the formula lies Cold Cream, the signature ingredient of the Avène Cold Cream range.

Cold Cream combines lipids, wax and Avène Thermal Spring Water to create a rich protective care formula. It helps compensate for the lack of lipids that can contribute to dry skin and creates a protective layer that helps limit moisture loss.

Avène adapted this traditional dermatological concept for modern sensitive-skin care, combining nourishing ingredients with a comfortable cosmetic texture.

For hands exposed to cold weather, frequent washing or sanitising, this rich formulation provides a practical way to restore comfort throughout the day.

Key ingredients and their benefits

Glycerin

Glycerin acts as a humectant, helping attract and retain water in the skin. It supports the formula’s hydrating action and helps keep dry hands feeling softer and more comfortable.

Safflower Oil

Safflower seed oil provides nourishing lipids that help support dry skin. It contributes to the cream’s rich, protective texture.

Shea Butter

Shea butter provides emollient and nourishing properties. It helps soften rough-feeling skin and supports a comfortable protective layer on the hands.

Jojoba Oil

Jojoba seed oil adds further emollient care to the formula. It helps leave dry skin feeling smoother and more supple.

Beeswax

Beeswax contributes to the protective properties of the cream. It helps form a comfortable layer over the skin while supporting the formula’s rich texture.

Bisabolol

Bisabolol is a soothing ingredient known for its calming and skin-comforting properties. It complements the nourishing action of Cold Cream, particularly when dry skin feels uncomfortable.

24-hour hydration and nourishment

Avène reports that the formula provides immediate and intensive hydration for 24 hours following a single application.

The brand also reports 24-hour deep and lasting nourishment and a 75% reduction in skin dryness after the first application under the conditions of its clinical study.

The hydration result comes from a corneometry-based study involving 31 participants, while the dryness result comes from a clinical study involving 33 participants.

These results reflect specific test conditions and individual experiences may vary.

How to use Avène Cold Cream Hand Cream

Apply the cream as often as necessary, particularly whenever your hands feel dry or uncomfortable.

For best application:

1. Place a small amount of cream in the palm of your hand.
2. Spread it over the backs of both hands.
3. Massage gently until absorbed.
4. Pay particular attention to dry areas and around the knuckles and nails.

When should you apply it?

Keep the tube somewhere convenient so you can use it throughout the day. Good moments include:

• After washing your hands.
• After using hand sanitiser.
• Before going outdoors in cold or windy weather.
• Whenever your hands feel tight or dry.
• Before bedtime as part of an intensive overnight hand-care routine.

For very dry hands, applying a slightly more generous layer at night can provide additional comfort while you sleep.

A simple routine for dry hands

Effective hand care does not need to involve a complicated routine.

During the day

• Gentle hand washing
• pat dry
• Cold Cream Hand Cream

Avoid very hot water when washing your hands, as it can increase feelings of dryness. After drying, apply the cream while the skin still feels comfortable rather than waiting until it becomes very tight.

At night

Gentle cleansing

generous layer of Cold Cream Hand Cream

Massage the cream into the hands, knuckles and areas around the nails. Regular nighttime application can help maintain softness and comfort.

During particularly cold or dry weather, use the cream more frequently according to your skin’s needs.
