Still vulnerable, the skin's barrier function is also new to the world and cannot yet fulfil its natural defense and protection role. So we need to take extra care to support this sensitivity, which can be put at exacerbated by irritating products, hard water, the cold and wind, and even friction from clothes that are too rough.

A FEW WORDS FROM OUR EXPERT
A baby's skin is much more fragile than ours. Its barrier function is not yet optimal, its permeability is greater, its pH less acidic... This is why it requires adapted care, with high tolerance formulas.

Your baby's skin needs all your attention (and a lot of gentleness
Our expertise combined with our uncompromising focus on safety and efficacy, Avène Laboratoire Dermatologique has always been by your side to take care of the sensitive skin of your little ones (as well as the adults!).

All you have to do is pamper your baby and we take care of everything else for the health and comfort of their skin, from the very first days of their life.
It is important to know that a baby's skin is much more fragile than ours:
• The different layers of the skin are thinner, the barrier function is not yet optimal.
• The permeability of the skin is very high and, as a result, the baby often faces dryness issues.
• The pH of the skin is less acidic, which can make the skin prone to irritation.
• Melanin production is very low, making the skin very vulnerable to UV rays.
Our Thermal Spring Water Spray, Cicalfate+, XeraCalm A.D and TriXéra Nutrition ranges have been tested under paediatric and dermatological control and are suited to the specific needs of baby's skin.
These products are formulated with minimal ingredients for their softness and tolerance. Their benefit from the unique properties of the most natural ingredient: Avène Thermal Spring Water.
In the event of nappy-area redness, wash baby's bottom with a mild, physiological pH product such as XeraCalm A.D. Lipid-Replenishing Cleansing Oil, then dry thoroughly.
Then use some Avène Thermal Spring Water Spray to reinforce the soothing action.
Finish by applying Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream to soothe and promote the repair of irritated skin.
If in doubt, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
