My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

The product Biodroga Moisture & Balance 24-Hour Care is primarily intended for skin that lacks moisture and is prone to dehydration, discomfort, or tightness. My analysis of the formulation reveals Biodroga's desire to target the skin's moisture balance while strengthening its protective barrier. This product is particularly suitable for normal to dry skin, but can also be incorporated into a routine for sensitive skin thanks to its soothing and repairing active ingredients.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three major active ingredients stand out in this formula:

• Hyaluronic acid (Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate) : It acts as a powerful humectant, capable of retaining up to 1,000 times its weight in water, ensuring intense and long-lasting hydration. It helps plump the skin and smooth fine lines caused by dehydration.
• Madecassoside : Derived from Centella asiatica, it has soothing and restorative properties, promoting skin regeneration and limiting inflammatory reactions.
• Vegetable oils (apricot, sunflower) Rich in essential fatty acids, they strengthen the lipid barrier, prevent water loss, and leave the skin feeling soft and supple.

The synergy of these active ingredients guarantees optimal hydration, protection against external aggressions, and soothing for fragile skin.

Tips and Application Ritual

I apply this treatment morning and/or evening to clean skin, after cleansing and possibly a moisturizing serum. It fits perfectly into a minimalist or more comprehensive routine. It is compatible with most active ingredients, including vitamin C and niacinamide. However, I avoid layering it with treatments that are very rich in exfoliating acids to preserve skin tolerance.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

This product stands out for its comfortable, non-greasy texture and its ability to intensely moisturize while soothing the skin. The presence of fragrance may be a drawback for ultra-sensitive or allergic skin types. In conclusion, I recommend this product for restoring moisture balance and strengthening the skin barrier, while offering a pleasant sensory experience.
