Its rich texture ensures 24 hours* of hydration and allows for a gradual release of active ingredients, for easy application and quick penetration. Hands regain suppleness and feel intense comfort.

SKINCARE ROUTINE
Ingredients
A traditional blend of ingredients derived from the French pharmacopoeia, this cream is composed of wax, fats and Avène Thermal Spring Water. It acts like cement to compensate for the sebum deficit in the hydrolipidic film and thus protect the skin from skin dryness.
Thanks to a unique mineral and biological characteristic, it has soothing, repairing and rebalancing properties.
For small cracks, I recommend Cicalfate Hand Repair Barrier Cream. Its repairing and antibacterial agents will accelerate skin recovery Don't forget that washing with soaps can make these worse, so you should use a dermatological bar instead, such as our soap-free Cold Cream Ultra-Rich Cleansing Bar, or even a lipid-replenishing cleansing oil, such as the one in the Xeracalm A.D. range, for intense dryness.
The amount of cream you apply depends on how dry your hands are. I can, however, tell you how to apply hand cream without getting greasy hands:
- Start by applying a small amount of Cold Cream Hand Cream to the back of your hands; it is a concentrated formula with strong nourishing power, usually a small amount is enough and you can always add more if necessary.
- Spread it between the backs of the hands and the backs of the fingers.
- Run the backs of the hands over the thumb-index joint of the other hand.
- Then between your fingers with your fingertips facing you (much easier).
- Finish with the palms of your hands.
With this technique, your hands will be well moisturised and protected but without the feeling of excess cream on the palms of your hands.
Here are two highly effective methods to put an end to this inconvenience: For both methods, apply Cold Cream Concentrated Hand Cream generously to your hands. Then either wrap your hands in cotton or silk gloves and sleep with them on, and in the morning you will notice a marked improvement. Or, for quicker action, you can wrap your hands in cling film and keep them warm under a blanket for one hour. Efficiency tested and validated! One last tip to increase the effect of these two methods. Start the routine with a compress of Avène Thermal Spring Water for 10 minutes, your hands will be less dry and the active ingredients in the Cold Cream will absorb better.
