Avene Cicalfate Restorative Cream

Breaks me out!!!

If you have acne-prone and oily skin, avoid this! It sits like thick white toothpaste on my skin and I had (a lot) more pimples/acne as soon as I started using it. So I did a test and only apply it on my left side of face. A week later the right side of my face cleared up but the left side there were about 7 different sizes of pimples especially ones around my mouth were very painful. Be aware that when it says non-comedogenic it doesn't mean it won't break you out! It's not for me maybe will be a very good hand cream. Update: I've been using it as an eye cream since I don't tend to get breakouts around my eye. I have the most sensitive under eye skin and every eye cream I've bought stung and burnt the area under my eyes. It's definitely a winter rescue for dry and extremely sensitive skin (provided that it's not prone to breakouts.) (Avene Xera calm balm also does a good job but not lock hydration as well this one.)
