This cream has been developed for ultrasensitive and allergic skins, since it does not contain any ingredient that is potentially irritating or allergic.
The texture is denser than I expected and I need two/three pumps to cover the entire face, but I like it more than a lighter cream (like the Bioderma Sensibio Light that I use in summer) for the winter months. I use it only at night because if I use it under makeup it will make my skin more oily than usual, it doesn't absorb completely on my skin. I sometimes use it under makeup but only on dry spots. It can also be used safely in the eye area. It has a super soothing and nourishing effect on the skin. It contains shea butter, which can be comedogenic in some people, although I have not had any breakout and I really like its nutritional and repairing power on the skin. I notice that it diminishes the redness of the cheeks both instantaneously and in the long term. The finish is quite matte, it doesn't leave greasy feeling. It has no smell.
The packaging seems perfect to me. It comes in a tube with a pump that can be blocked and the product is completely isolated from contact with air. It is transparent, so you can see how much product remains. I usually prefer opaque containers to ensure the preservation of the product, but in this case I do not mind because the ingredients are fairly stable to light and I think I will run out of it in about 3 months.
There are two more versions of the product: a Riche and a Fluid, which I imagine are denser and lighter, respectively, although I have not tried them.
This moisturizer is a must-have in my routine and I will undoubtedly continue to rely on it. I recommend it to people with sensitive skin, especially normal and dry, but also for combination if shea butter doesn't break you out.
