Avène Xercalm A.D Ultra-Rich Cleansing Bar for Atopic Dermatitis, Eczema Prone Skin, Fragrance-Free, 100 g

Finally found the perfect soap for my sensitive skin, leaves skin soft and doesn't have harsh ingredients. Avene is an amazing brand

I initially purchased this in June of 2022 when I was experiencing a horrible recurring dry and itchy rash on my entire torso, upper arms, and legs. My doctor recommended I cut fragrance and harsh soaps while we tried to get the problem under control (I never figured out the cause). This soap is fragrance-free and leaves the skin feeling clean without stripping it of natural oils. It does not suds up, so I apply the bar to my skin.Unlike other commenters, I did not notice any grainy texture to the bar; the bar I have is smooth. Since it does not suds, it lasts a long time for me. I do not use this soap daily since I no longer have the rash, but I use it on sensitive skin areas.It is pricey but worth it, especially if you have sensitive or dry skin. I am reordering it to use daily now that it's wintertime.

I have VERY sensitive skin -- it reacts to lots of things, and that's made finding a cleanser pretty difficult, particularly for those delicate areas that can be easily thrown off balance. Soap really angers my skin, as do ingredients in several other cleansers. At my dermatologist's office, I was recommended the Xeracalm balm to address some damage done by a bad reaction to another skin product and to reestablish my facial skin's moisture barrier, and that had really helped, so when I saw Amazon also had a cleansing bar in the same line, I decided to give it a go since it said it preserved the microbiome.While the feel of this cleansing bar doesn't strike me as being "ultra-rich" in the sense I normally think of richness in a cleanser (i.e. having a creamy texture and feel) -- in fact, there's a slight degree of texture/graininess I feel (I'm extra aware of texture) -- the bar definitely doesn't strip moisture, and it is something I can actually use to cleanse delicate skin without throwing off the balance. Since I'm also sensitive to perfumes, the fact that this is fragrance-free is a big win, too!While the price is more than I'd have typically paid for a cleansing bar, this one has been totally worth it for me -- it has resolved some skin issues I'd previously been unable to address successfully, and as funny as it sounds to say this about a cleansing bar, I'm really grateful to have found it!

For someone who is sensitive to most “gentle” face washes due to eczema this soap has been the one that works really well, doesn’t dry my skin out and actually improves the texture and pigmentation of my skin, glad to recommend it to anyone who has been having a hard time finding a product that works. I follow up with an Avene creme of the same line and I like both.

I suffer from hives, sensitive skin, and rashes. This is the best cleansing soap I have ever used. My allergologist gave me one bar and within 2 days my hives were gone! the itch was gone within the first use! This product makes me emotional because its horrible to live with a face itching constantly. Changed my life. If you suffer from the same things try this soap, I'm sure it will be the solution. Price is totally worth it.

I wash my hands very often and I got an eczema flare up out of the blue. Doctor recommended a different soap at least until I use my prescribed creams, and this soap works wonderfully. Beforehand, I had Aleppo soap and another, similar one, but they’re way on the drying side if you wash hands frequently.Edit: it lasted about 2 weeks 😭

I use this for my body as a starter cleanser (yes I double cleanse my body as well as my face lol) and it's very nice once you get it to lather. The smell is very clean and not over powering. As with all avene products, it's really gentle on the skin and cleanses my body nicely and doesn't take forever to get off the skin as with other bar soaps *cough* *cough* dove *cough* *cough* lol. Definitely recommend this

Awesome product - does exactly as it says it will. Affordable considering the product is imported.
