Avène Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream
A rich, fragrance-free protective layer built around a copper-zinc complex, meant for skin that has been through something: weather, a procedure, a week of overexfoliating. It is occlusive enough to sit visibly on the surface for a while, which is exactly what you want on a compromised patch and far more than you want on a normal face.
