Reviews For Avene XeraCalm AD Lipid-Replenishing Cleansing Oil
Transformed my skin
Every year from fall until spring, I get dry, red, itchy, flaky patches on my face. That would happen even with using so-called mild cleansers. I started using this cleanser a couple of months ago and this is the first year in many that I haven't had one issue. It removes my makeup extremely well, yet somehow doesn't dry out my face. I definitely feel the need to moisturize after I use it, but I haven't had any dryness.

Helps clear up acne and sensitive, dry skin
I received a sample of this product and gave it a try after reading about how oil cleansers can actually help acne. I was very skeptical because it seemed odd to slap oil on my acne-prone face and because I wasn't convinced it would actually remove makeup. I was totally wrong. This stuff is amazing. After using the sample for 2 weeks (huge sample!), I have zero acne. ZERO! How is that possible? It's also very effective at removing makeup and heavy sunscreen. My skin feels hydrated and smooth. I start with this oil cleanser and then use my PrescribedSolutions Don't Be So Sensitive (with the acne booster) and my skin looks like it was airbrushed. I bought the full size product and look forward to using this every day. I'm starting to buy into the new trend in skin care that is focused on rebuilding your skin's pH balance and moisture barriers. There is a lot of research that suggests that many products - from makeup to the lovely serums and acids we use are actually wreaking havoc on our skin and causing the acne, dryness, and sensitivity those products were supposed to address in the first place. Given how well my skin is doing after using this product for 2 weeks, I believe it. My sensitivity, redness, and acne are gone. For the first time in my life I've been skipping foundation in the morning. Crazy! It has a slightly chalky smell and the consistency is very thin, but I use about 1-2 tablespoons to remove my makeup in the evening. I also use it in the morning to cleanse my face in the shower. It feels great after wearing Retin-A Micro all night.

Great for dry/compromised skin!
I am currently undergoing a course of accutane, which causes severe drying and sensitivity of my arm and neck area. To prevent further drying or irritation from other soaps and body washes, I purchased this Avene Cleansing Oil to use as my regular body wash. First off, it works great at removing the grime from the day (including my body sunscreen) but is so gentle and soothing that its been helping with the dryness on my arms! :D It helps tremendously with my sensitivity and I plan to continue using this after I finish my course of the medication.

The best for sensitive skin
I have very sensitive skin, and I swear by this cleanser and the XeraCalm Balm as well. This is the only facial cleanser that works for me. It cleanses but also leaves your skin moisturized and hydrated. I use the XeraCalm Lipid-Replenishing Balm after. I’ve been using these two products for more than two years now and everyone asks me what products do I use. I always say Avène helped me soothe my itchy, dry and sensitive skin. I could not be any happier. I will be using these two products for the rest of my life!

Avene is awesome!
This product is awesome. I first used it when I received a sample at my dermatologist's office. It cleanses but also moisturizes and hydrates, leaving my skin soft and silky but not greasy. I use it on my neck and face and also have my son use it on his skin since he has eczema. Although our skin types and ages are so different, this cleansing oil does it all! One of my favorite products!

I use this in the AM to wash off the sleep and my night cream. Leaves my skin so soft and never irritated never stings my delicate skin. Even used on my kid to take off face paint

I love the way this feels on my skin. I use it because I get itchy bumps on legs and arms and after using this consistently. It doesn't happen as often or as severe. It is gentle yet effective.

Best cleanser
Once I started using this face wash, my skin was transformed. I’m prone to breakouts, combo skin and rosacea, and this has been my saving grace!

Acne loves this XeraCalm line!!
This completely restores and calms acne prone skin when on retinoids that dry the hell out of it! And you get so much which saves money! Don’t believe the oil-free hype. This is the real deal!

Avene Xera Calm Lipid Oil
This product was referred to me by my dermatologist for daily showering for my itchy, dry, sensitive skin. The bath oil is gentle and cleansing but doesn't leave a residue. I am pleased with this product, and have reordered it a number of times.

Only product that works for my daughter
My daughter has psoriasis. She was diagnosed at 6 years old. This is the only product (she is 19 now) that has ever worked for her. It does not irritate her skin. It leaves it moisturized and soft.
