Avène Soothing Solutions is a fragrance-free soothing balm formulated with Avène's signature thermal water and centella asiatica (cica) to calm irritated, sensitive skin. The balm targets redness, dryness, and barrier damage with a focus on gentle repair rather than heavy occlusion.

Key features:

  • Centella + thermal water for soothing & anti-inflammatory action
  • Lightweight balm texture (less greasy than traditional cica balms)
  • Multi-use: face, patches, post-procedure, sensitive skin
  • Fragrance-free & hypoallergenic
  • Dermatologist-tested for sensitive / reactive skin

Ideal for: Eczema-prone, irritated, post-procedure, or compromised barriers. Those seeking a less occlusive alternative to heavy cica balms like Cicaplast or Cicapair. Not a replacement for intensive repair ointments, but a gentler daily soother.
