My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

The genzen Face Cream is primarily intended for skin prone to dehydration, loss of firmness, and the first signs of aging. Its formula targets the prevention and correction of wrinkles, while strengthening the skin barrier. My analysis reveals a balanced approach, combining innovative active ingredients with ingredients known for their tolerance, making it suitable for sensitive or fragile skin.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three active ingredients stand out in this cream:

• Bakuchiol : A plant-based alternative to retinol, it stimulates collagen synthesis and promotes cell renewal without the irritating effects of traditional retinol. It is effective on wrinkles and firmness.
• Centella Asiatica : Medicinal plant known for its soothing and restorative properties. It promotes healing, reduces inflammation, and improves the skin's resistance to external aggressions.
• Prebiotics (Inulin, Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide, Lactobacillus Ferment) They support the balance of the skin microbiome, thereby strengthening the skin's natural protective barrier and limiting hypersensitivity reactions.

The presence of vitamin E derivatives complements the antioxidant action, protecting the skin from oxidative stress.

Tips and Application Ritual

I recommend applying this cream in the morning and/or evening to clean, dry skin. It can be combined with moisturizing or vitamin C-based serums in the morning. However, it is best to avoid combining it with strong retinoids or powerful exfoliating acids to limit the risk of irritation, as bakuchiol is already a stimulating active ingredient.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

Genzen Face Cream stands out thanks to its synergy of anti-aging and repairing active ingredients, while respecting the skin's balance. It has a pleasant, non-greasy texture and is generally very well tolerated. The only downside is the presence of fragrance and potential allergens, which should be monitored in very reactive skin types. My opinion: an expert, effective, and safe skincare product for preventing and correcting the signs of aging.
