I have cystic acne in my T-zone but have dry cheeks (thank you Accutane!). This balm is extremely gentle and moisturizers spectacularly without causing breakouts. I can use it on both my face and body. I also use it as an eye cream and I have not noticed any milia from it. Will definitely re-purchase again and again!

I'm using Trixera emollient cream.
I have oily tzone acne prone skin but sensitive on the cheeks. i started using this when my skin was drying out from acne medications and i haven't stopped since. my skin has cleared up alot. this cream is non-comedogenic, feels oily but light and gives a healthy sheen to skin, is a very good moisturizing base to makeup and a great night cream. it comes in a large tube , i only use a pearl size of it each time so it lasts very long.

This come in quite a large size especially if you only need it for your face.It is a heavy balm that really sooth tight red skin.Ive tried other avene products to get rid of 1 problem under my left eye for a month now and none has really helped until this.Got it on sale at shoppers for 21.00,so I think it was pretty cheap for 200ml.My face feel super soft and non irritated for once in a long time.

I have eczema on my legs and arms and while I used prescription steroid cream when I have a break out, since I have used this product (about 2 weeks now) I have found I use my medicine less.
This is a great product for those with dry skin issues and/or sensitive skin. I would highly recommend.

The denser companion to Avène's TriXéra+Sélectiose Emollient Cream (the more recent versions also have this sélectiose stuff, though the old stuff was also perfectly good).
It seems initially like a very rich, dense balm, that looks like it needs to be rubbed in. Can be used that way on hands, feet and so on. Good on eczema patches on the insides of joints - my original use for it.
But there's a trick to this stuff: mix with two drops of oil, and lo! you have a more fluid cream, suitable for face, neck, and throat. Oils used here: mix of jojoba, safflower, sunflower, and sweet almond, with a little mineral. I used to use the TriXéra+ Emollient Cream (pump-bottle), but swtiched over to the Balm-mixed-with-oil as it produces a similar texture, but without the Cream's coconut oil that was producing some clogs (in combination with DHC Cleansing Oil - excessive olive oil the culprit there); a swap to GoW cleansing oil and the TriXéra Balm seems to have sorted things out. Another moisturiser that worked well being Desert Essence Daily Essential (except the jar melted in accident with an iron). I'd been using the Essence mixed with oil, and decided to try that approach with some leftover Balm in the cupboard as a last resort before going shopping for more.
In the regular non-oiled way, the Balm can be used on dry patches all over: this is one of the creams I've used to keep occasional mild eczema under control, for years. On very dry skin, and some forms of eczema etc., the A-Derma range (made by the same parent company) is excellent too: similar ingredients plus a lot of oats: think Aveeno but better-performing and cruelty-free. The basic "Crème de soin" / Skin Care Cream in the "Irritated skin" range is slightly thicker than TriXéra Baume, but the nearest equivalent.
Like TriXéra Emollient Cream, there's no paraben preservatives, no fragrance, and it's composed mainly of Avène spring water, a plant-derived lipidic trio (ceramides, linoleic and gamma-linolenic fatty acids, and phytosterols - from safflower, coconut, evening primrose, and soybean oils), and mineral oil, plus glycine and sélectiose.*
Costs around EUR 13.00-15.00 / CAD 27.00-29.00 for a 200 ml tube. The tube stands on its end and has a flip-cap that can be a little stiff, but does stay well closed with no leakage. While a pump might be more handy, the squeezability of the tube means one does get every last drop.
