Miss the old avene
Horrible quality, product was split. Quality of this brand used to be so good, it’s so sad to see it go downhill so much.

Great when the weather is warm
Cicalfate is a great product when it’s not cold, which is when I need it most. It separates in cold weather which makes it a watered down cream not as easy to apply.

I just recieved this item in the mail, and it was a straight watery consistency. I kept shaking it but it wasn't mixing to the ideal consistency, so i'm kinda disappointed after hearing good things about this product.

Excellent product.
As an acne prone woman in her late 30s with combination skin and a history of allergic reactions, this cream has been a God send. In combination with the cicalfate serum, it's restored my skin barrier. I haven't had skin this smooth in almost 20 years.

It’s just liquid! You can see there’s some sort of solid in the tube but only clear liquid comes out. I tried shaking and squeezing the tube but it didn’t help. Disappointed

My sensitive skin thanks you
So creamy, perfect for winter. My dermatologist recommended it and I love it. I don’t need a neck cream and a chest cream and an under eye serum and all that stuff. I have extremely sensitive skin and I’m very sensitive to smell smells and this is perfect for me.

Questionable non-comedogenic and sensitive skin pr
Appreciate the thickness… felt luxurious (thankfully didn’t have the watery issue many have reported). However, this has caused an acne like rash, in areas I have never had acne (upper cheeks), and I haven’t had acne in over 15 years! Bought this to be hydrating for aging skin. Does not seem non-comedogenic or for sensitive skin as I didn’t have acne or particular sensitive skin until using this.

Target ships product as is and it arrives after freezing during transportation. The product separates d/t freezing and water pours out each time tube is squeezed. If you purchase directly from the product manufacturer, their web site states product ships with protection to keep warm during transportation. I will order directly from the manufacturer in the future. I do recommend the product but not from Target

Watery
So disappointed, what happened to this cream? It is unusable and extremely watery. Hopefully the old formula returns because my skin loved this cream.

Liquid not a cream - disappointed
I bought this for my daughter. She opened it tonight for Christmas Eve only to have a bluish liquid flow out; not cream. What a disappointment in this product. We shook and shook the tube to no avail. Sounded full of liquid. Has anyone else had this experience?

Barrier Repair and Laser/IPL Recovery
Works well as a barrier repair cream and I’ve used it multiple times to recover from laser and IPL. It’s thick and creates a nice occlusive barrier, definitely not something I would use in public and expect to look good. I feel it’s best used as a restorative solution, overnight is probably best.

Best I have found for my Roscea
Yes, Yes, Yes….this is a wonderful cream for sensitive skin. Most are complaining that the water and cream separate after shipment. BEST SOLUTION, just put the tube in a bowl of warm water for ten minutes, dry off tube and then massage the tube to recombine the the water and cream back together. It’s perfect ❤️

Like others, it poured out a water like liquid after opening. I shook it up for several minutes and it has improved to a better consistency. Going to give it a try, but it’s not worth the price to arrive separated like this.

Confused the product is leaking blue liquid. I don’t even know if it will work. I spent $40 on this and annoyed this is not cheap
