Troubleshooting
Product feels too thick or leaves a white residue.
Avene Cicalfate+ is a rich, protective cream. Try warming a smaller amount between your fingertips before applying, and gently massage until fully absorbed. Using less product often helps.
Skin does not seem to improve after several days of use.
Ensure you are applying the cream consistently, once or twice daily, to a clean area. If the irritation persists, worsens, or if symptoms are severe, consult a dermatologist or healthcare professional. The cream aids recovery but is not a substitute for medical treatment for underlying conditions.
Experiencing slight stinging upon application.
While formulated for very sensitive skin, temporary slight stinging can occur on highly compromised or broken skin. If stinging is persistent or severe, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional. Ensure skin is clean and dry before application.
Cream separates or changes texture.
This is rare if stored correctly. Ensure the product is stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. If separation is significant or the smell changes, it's best to discard the product.
