Barrier-repair / post-irritation face & body cream
Description
Embryolisse Cicalisse SOS Restorative Cream is a soothing, barrier-repair skincare product designed to nourish, calm and support the restoration of compromised, irritated or sensitive skin. It helps relieve dryness, irritation, superficial abrasions, post-depilation discomfort, minor scabs, and general skin sensitivity on face, body and lips, making it suitable for entire-family use (except children under 3). The formula combines 3% acexamic acid, sodium hyaluronate, botanical oils and butters to accelerate epidermal repair, restore hydration and reinforce the skin’s barrier function. 40 ml tube format, unscented, free from fragrance and essential oils.

- Unscented, alcohol-free, essential-oil-free, paraben-free, silicone-free, formulated for sensitive or reactive skin.
- Contains 3% acexamic acid as active barrier-repair agent, combined with humectants and emollients to hydrate and soften skin.

- Tube is labeled with product name (Cicalisse SOS Restorative Cream), batch number, ‘face, body, lip’ usage instructions and expiry details, as per distributor packaging.
- Often sold individually; retail packaging may include leaflet with usage instructions and ingredient list per regulatory requirements.
Usage
- Apply morning and evening to clean, dry skin on face, body or lips depending on need.
- Use as needed on dry, irritated or compromised skin—in case of dryness, redness, superficial abrasions, or after hair removal / depilation / minor skin stress.
- Massage gently into skin until fully absorbed. For best results, use as the final step in your skincare routine.
- If applying on lips, ensure no product enters mouth and rinse if accidental ingestion occurs. (As with any cosmetic/lip-body product).
- Suitable for adult use; some sources note it may be used on infants or children in certain contexts, but not recommended for children under 3 years old.
Contraindications
- Known allergy or hypersensitivity to any ingredient (e.g. acexamic acid, botanical oils, preservatives).
- Broken, inflamed, infected or open wounds requiring medical treatment more than a cosmetic cream. (Use under medical supervision for more severe skin breaches.)
- Not recommended for children under 3 years old, as per some distributor disclaimers.
- Individuals prone to acne or clogging may want to patch-test first, as richer creams with emollient oils can potentially cause comedogenic reactions depending on skin type.
Adverse Effects
- Possible mild skin reactions such as redness, itchiness or irritation, particularly in individuals with sensitive skin or allergies.
- Potential for clogged pores or comedones in acne-prone skin due to emollient oils and richer texture.
- If product contacts mucous membranes (mouth, eyes) due to misuse, may cause irritation — follow proper application guidelines.
Storage Conditions
- Store at room temperature, away from excessive heat and direct sunlight.
- Keep tube tightly closed when not in use to prevent contamination or drying out.
- Use within the period indicated on the packaging; discard after expiry or if the cream changes color, smell or texture.
Duration
Can be used daily as long as needed for skin barrier restoration, dryness or irritation relief. Period until visible improvement depends on skin condition; typically symptoms such as dryness, tightness or mild irritation improve within a few days of regular use.
Onset
Skin soothing, hydration and comfort typically felt within minutes of application; reduction in redness or irritation often observed within hours to a few days of regular use.
