What is going on with all of the water in the tube?? I can’t mix it with the cream. It pours out of the tube if I lay it on the counter without the lid on. I have been using this for years, and it’s done wonders when my five year old has eczema or any dry skin condition, and it’s the only cream that she says doesn’t burn when applied. This has been so disappointing. Please say a bad batch was made and we can return this product.

I've been using the Avene Restorative Protective Cream for over a year, and it's been a holy grail for my sensitive skin—rich, soothing, and fragrance-free. However, I recently repurchased it and noticed a significant difference. The texture is much more watery, and it has an unusual smell that wasn't there before. It doesn't feel the same on my skin either. I'm not sure if the formula was changed, but if so, it's unfortunately not working for me the way it used to. I’d love to know if this is a temporary issue or a permanent reformulation.

Always loved this product. This past purchase it was horrible . Watery bluish liquid pours out every time you open the tube. Cream is watery and consistency is not like it used to be.

I have used this for a few years for my dry skin and eczema which is worse in extreme temperature shifts which we’ve experienced this winter. I did receive some watery tubes a couple of months ago, but they still worked better than anything I have used before. My recent shipment of cicalfate was back to the normal texture. It’s great on your hands and feet every night before bed for dryness.

I was very disappointed in my order. . Instead my tube was mixed with part cream and part watery like liquid. Even after vigorously shaking it before each use, I still find a mixture of liquid and cream with each squeeze. Is this the intended way this product is produced?

We don't have an Ulta inside the Target near me so I ordered this online. When it arrived it sounded like a tube of water. When opened it was actually the consistently water. I tried shaking it to reincorporate but nothing worked. Maybe it's better if you can find in store

ITS PERFECT. It’s the only thing that works for me, it’s been years since I’ve found something that helps my dermatitis and doesn’t inflame it. I have incredibly reactive skin and no other brands have worked for me. Please NEVER REFORMULATE!!

This just came out as water. I tried shaking the tube but same problem. Is it supposed to be this watery? It is so watery it is impossible to apply, it is like putting water on my face. I now see many other reviewers mention this. I think Avene should give some suggestions about what to do if this happens, given how many people are having the same problem. The instructions just say "apply twice daily".

REad about this online from a reviewer. It really is a great cream. It makes my skin look and feel wonderful. It even seems to be reducing my age spot . I would recommend this cream. Several years ago I had some sun damage and this has really done a great job on reducing that.

I saw the previous poor reviews and thought the situation had been fixed when I placed the order, but apparently not. The tube was filled with water that had separated from the lotion. The lotion itself would not properly spread because of the excessive water. Will not order again until this is resolved.

Justmyopinion - 25 days ago, Verified purchaser
Yes, it separates and becomes pure liquid. It made a huge mess when I first opened it but upon reading the reviews I found the advice to put the tube in a warm cup of water for a few minutes and then to shake it until you can no longer hear the liquid. It worked perfectly! It’s back to a cream. So far my sensitive skin loves this product!
