I am so glad I got a sample of this from my dermatologist. As soon as it is gone, I will repurchase. This cream is so wonderful but it isn't as heavy as some creams. It has a whipped, buttery feel and guides over the skin effortlessly. You don't need to apply too much pressure or rub too long as it absorbs very well and really locks that moisture on. I have used it on my fave and also my hands. My Emily G · influenster.com

This is my ultimate skin‑barrier repair product. Whether my skin is irritated, overly dry, or recovering from treatments like laser or retinol, Cicalfate consistently restores comfort and hydration. The texture is rich but not overwhelming, and the formula is gentle enough for the entire family. I don’t use it nightly, but when my skin needs help, this is what I reach for — and the improvement is michellesskinnotes · aveneusa.com
