Avène Cold Cream, 40 ml tube

A true dermatological staple for combating dry skin, Avène’s Cold Cream provides intense nourishment and long-lasting protection.

Its rich, enveloping texture provides an effective barrier for sensitive skin, whether used on the face or on specific areas of the body.

Key benefits of the treatment:

• Intense nourishment: Its formula, rich in lipids and beeswax, deeply nourishes the skin and compensates for the lack of sebum.
• Protective shield effect: Effectively protects the skin against extreme cold, wind, and temperature fluctuations.
• Soothing & anti-tightness action: Calms feelings of discomfort, heat, and roughness.
• Optimal tolerance: Formula tested under dermatological supervision, suitable for the sensitive skin of the entire family (infants, children, adults).
• Multi-area application: Can be used on both the face and very dry areas of the body(hands, elbows, knees).

Leading protective and emollient active ingredients

Developed by the Avène Dermatological Laboratory, the Cold Cream formula combines cosmetic tradition with thermal science:

1. Traditional Cold Cream (white beeswax & mineral oil): Restores the skin’s lipid balance, prevents dehydration, and forms a non-comedogenic protective film.
2. Avène Thermal Spring Water: Naturally soothing, anti-irritating, and emollient, it provides immediate relief to uncomfortable or reactive skin.

• Areas: On the face and dry areas of the body, after cleansing and drying.
• Method: Apply a small amount of cream, gently massaging it in until fully absorbed, paying special attention to exposed or particularly dry areas.

Can Avène Cold Cream be used on a baby’s face?

Yes, Avène Cold Cream is perfectly suited for the delicate skin of infants and children. It effectively protects their cheeks and face from redness caused by the cold and wind when they’re out and about.

What is the difference between Cold Cream and a traditional moisturizer?

Unlike a lightweight moisturizing lotion, Cold Cream has a much richer and more nourishing formula based on beeswax. It does more than just provide moisture: it forms a protective lipid film that prevents water from evaporating and shields the skin from the cold outside.

Does the cream leave an oily film on the skin?

The texture is rich and nourishing, providing immediate comfort. It absorbs well when massaged in while leaving a soft, soothing protective barrier—ideal for very dry or damaged skin.
