Product Summary
Based on the ingredients included, "Avène - Cicalfate Restorative Skin Cream" works well for moisturizing the skin. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Avène - Cicalfate Restorative Skin Cream ticks this box. Humectants in this product (arginine, glycerin and propylene glycol) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Paraffinum liquidum, arginine, beeswax, caprylic/capric triglyceride and hydrogenated vegetable oil in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.
