Holy grail
I used to be a skincare addict, always looking for the next best thing. Until I found this balm, that is! I look forward to using this every day. It's extremely gentle (zero stinging for a compromised skin barrier), but it's nice and thick. The best part to me? Instead of sitting on top of my skin like many barrier-repair-focused, thick moisturizers, this sinks in deeply and stays all day. It has that "wet" feel as it sinks in, which i adore, but it doesn't evaporate. I know some people don't like the wet feeling on their faces, but it's a dream for my dry, sensitive, redness-prone tretinoin skin - i use a full pump on my face. And it doesn't have that silicone-y, filmy feel that many moisturizers have. Not everyone will love this balm, but i highly recommend it if your preferences sound like mine!

Amazing
I love this and use it from head to toe. Very emollient and immediately soothing to any irritation or inflammation. So moisturizing. I don't use it all the time on my face as it can cause a break out if your sensitive to thicker cream breaking you out. But I am able to use it on face neck and chest, upper arms etc all my areas with high irritation. It has cleared my upper arms . It's definately a must. I have very itchy and dry body skin and it's a bit pricy for using full body but I think it's worth it. It's excellent stuff. No scent nor irritation, soaks in.

Very nourishing
Hydrates very dry skin without feeling greasy or sticky. My skin loves this during the winter time. Will definitely repurchase.

Great for Rosacea
Have dealt with rosacea the last few years and tried numerous products including two prescriptions. Received a sample of this and was very happy with it so I ordered the smaller of the two sizes. The tube is gigantic! What a pleasant surprise when everything is being downsized now days. I only use it at night since it makes my face very shiny and moist. But any stinging or redness that I have is immediately soothed. Very impressive! My skin has also gotten real soft and smooth from using this. This is by far the best product I’ve ever used for redness and stinging. Great purchase!!

Awesome product
I tried this after having received a sample from my dermatologist. This calmed down my skin beautifully and it is so moisturizing, that I am continuing to use it as my daily moisturizer. It is perfect. My skin is very hydrating, it does not clog pores and it keeps any itchy flares up completely under control. Great for legs and arms too. I am a fan.

Best I've ever used
I can't say enough about Sera Calm AD Balm. I have eczema and my skin can be reactive. Even top skincare lines can irritate my skin. With XeraCalm, any flare-ups are dealt with immediately. My skin is soothed instantly. I wish I had discovered it sooner.

Avene XeraCalm AD Lipid-Replenishing Balm
I am using this balm as a face moisturizer. I have very sensitive, allergic skin but this product is a life saver. My skin feels hydrated all day after using it. Expensive product but it's totally worth it.

Calming
Smooth and moisturizing, very calming. I wouldn’t recommend for oily skin. I use it in the winter when my skin is dry and irritated. Thick but goes on easily. My skin was very dry, itchy and red. After one use of this product, it felt normal again.

Definitely "The Bomb"
I am enjoying using the balm very much. I recently started using Tretinoin and it is drying to my skin, not to mention that we are still in winter. I was concerned that it might be too heavy, but I have also worn it under my sunscreen during the day and it is not too heavy. It is not greasy either. I was very pleasantly surprised at the size of the tube, especially for the price! I am a big Avene fan am looking forward to LovelySkin carrying the Hyaluron product. Give it a try! I think you'll like it!

Great barrier-repair moisturizer
I have rosacea and unfortunately can't tolerate mineral oil in products. My face just gets red and feels reactive. Something perhaps about it being such a powerful emollient that keeps heat trapped in my skin, but I'm not sure. If you can tolerate mineral oil, this is amazing stuff. I use another lipid-rich product from Avene, called Trixera Nutrition Nutri-Fluid Balm at night that does not contain mineral oil, and I love it. It really helps hydrate my dry skin from prescription medication, but I had to pass on XeraCalm. Otherwise, if you don't also have my specific issue, this is excellent as always from Avene.

Soothing and healing
This was recommended by my dermatologist for dry, itchy skin. It takes care of that and so much more. I use it on face and body and it instantly soothes any redness or irritation. I always have it on hand. Great product!

Good for very dry skin
I use this on my daughters face who has eczema. I also use it on my face after retin- a. I think it is a very emollient moisturizer, perfect for dry midwest winters.

Feels like a soothing blanket
I find myself using this product when my skin feels a little itchy after a microcurrent treatment or after using retinol in the evening. After apply a small amount, my skin instantly feels relieved and soothed. And, just feels like this soothing blanket on my skin. Love it!
