My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Visit Hydrating Body Milk from Bi-Oil is primarily intended for dry to very dry skin prone to dehydration, roughness, or loss of suppleness. Its rich formula aims to restore the skin barrier and improve skin elasticity. My expert opinion: the presence of moisturizing, lipid-replenishing, and soothing active ingredients makes it a suitable treatment for fragile skin, especially after sun exposure, during winter, or in cases of chronic skin dryness.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three active ingredients stand out in this formula:

• Urea : A powerful moisturizer, it retains water in the stratum corneum and promotes natural exfoliation, leaving the skin smoother and more supple.
• Hyaluronic acid (Sodium Hyaluronate) : Captures and retains water on the skin's surface, providing an immediate and long-lasting plumping effect.
• Vegetable oils (shea butter, jojoba, rosehip, sunflower) Rich in essential fatty acids, they restore the lipid barrier, prevent water loss, and provide softness and comfort.

The presence of PHA (gluconolactone) and AHA (lactic acid) promotes gentle cell renewal while remaining gentle on the skin. This synergy of active ingredients explains the product's effectiveness for skin lacking hydration and nutrition.

Tips and Application Ritual

I apply this lotion to clean skin, ideally after showering, in the morning and/or evening. It is compatible with most moisturizing active ingredients (glycerin, ceramides). Due to the presence of retinyl palmitate (a derivative of retinol), I avoid combining it with other powerful exfoliating products or retinoids to limit the risk of irritation. Suitable for daily use all over the body.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

Strengths: fluid texture, rapid absorption, excellent synergy of moisturizing and lipid-replenishing active ingredients. One possible drawback: the presence of certain potentially comedogenic agents, which should be monitored on skin that is very prone to blemishes. In conclusion, this Bi-Oil body lotion is an excellent choice for restoring skin comfort and suppleness, while respecting the skin's physiology.
