אבל אני לסטות …

Initially, I gotten XeraCalm face and body cream, which is $34 for a 6.76-oz. tube, for Connor. poor thing gets these raised patches of red, itchy, flaky dry skin in winter, and this cream is the only over-the-counter product that soothes her discomfort and completely removes the dry spots.

And it works fast! Whenever she gets a bout of irritated skin and we use this, she’s back to her normal non-itchy self in a day.

From aveneusa.com:

“Rich, lipid-replenishing cream directly targets itching, redness and irritation to nourish and restore skin prone to atopic dermatitis and eczema. Formulated with minimal ingredients vital to rehydrating and maintaining a healthy balance in skin’s microbiome. The microbiome is the top layer of the skin filled with microorganisms like bacteria, yeast, and skin flora – their job is to defend against bad bacteria. The microbiome environment can easily be influenced by temperature, hormones, UV exposure, and even skin care. Patented I-Modulia helps to maintain a well balanced microbiome while supporting the skin’s defense system for a normal, healthy skin. Exclusive, patented airless pump keeps the cream completely sterile and safe for its entire use without any preservatives, parabens, dyes or fragrance.”

But then I started using it on my face and neck about a month ago, shortly after my skin started peeling and turning red from the retinol I’m using.

Now…I am addicted.

I had been using Fresh Seaberry Oil, which I still love/like, but it just wasn’t moisturizing enough for the intense redness and sensitivity caused by the aggressively exfoliating retinol.

Two days of XeraCalm ad all over my face and neck, and the redness, ouchies and flakes were gone. No breakouts either, and it even layers well underneath makeup.

בּוּם. קח את זה.

XeraCalm is unscented, creamy and thick, and while it feels substantial on my skin (it isn’t one of those “lighter than air” lotions), it isn’t sticky or greasy. I can wear it on my neck and not be agitated. לצחוק בקול רם!

The tube I have, which is shown here, is the older version of Avène’s airtight packaging, and it’s a pain to get the lotion out, but the new version comes with a pump that’s meant to be much easier to use.

Anyway, it’s on the expensive side, but unless you’re pouring oodles of it on your face and body, it must last a long time.
