Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Are Avène products safe for very sensitive skin?

Yes. Avène Dermatological Laboratories rigorously evaluate the safety of each formula: toxicological analyses, tolerance tests (skin and eye), sensitization tests, etc. If a problem is detected, the product is not marketed.

2. Do Avène formulas contain preservatives?

Some formulas contain preservatives, but Avène also offers preservative-free products thanks to its "sterile cosmetics" process.

3. Why do my Avène products contain mineral oils?

The mineral oils used by Avène are cosmetic/pharmaceutical grade, inert, well-tolerated, and stable. They help form a protective film that softens and protects sensitive skin.

4. Are Avène products suitable for children, or even infants?

Yes. Some ranges, such as Cicalfate+ and XeraCalm A.D., have been tested on children and infants.

5. How can I tell if an Avène product is expired or no longer safe to use?

On the packaging, check the expiration date and the PAO (Period After Opening), indicated by an “open jar” symbol followed by the number M (month). Airless or sterile packaging can remain stable for a long time, but Avène recommends using it within a reasonable timeframe (for example, up to 3 years depending on the product).
