My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Visit Smoothing & Plumping Moisturizer Gel Cream Refill of the brand Innbeauty Project is primarily intended for skin in need of hydration, suppleness, and anti-aging benefits. Its light gel-cream texture targets signs of dehydration, loss of firmness, and early wrinkles. My analysis of the formulation reveals a desire to combine intense hydration, a plumping effect, and reinforcement of the skin barrier, making it a suitable treatment for normal to combination skin, including sensitive skin.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three key ingredients stand out in this formula:

• Peptides (Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Hexapeptide-9) These molecules act as cellular messengers, stimulating collagen and elastin production. Their action helps smooth expression lines and improve skin firmness.
• Ceramides (AP, EOP, NP) : Essential for skin barrier cohesion, they strengthen the skin's natural protection, limit water loss, and promote lasting hydration.
• Squalane : A plant-based derivative, it mimics the skin's natural lipids, providing softness and comfort without leaving a greasy residue, while improving skin suppleness.

The presence of Centella asiatica and Tremella mushroom extracts provides an additional soothing and antioxidant effect, enhancing the overall quality of the product.

Tips and Application Ritual

I apply this product in the morning and/or evening to clean skin, after my serum. It fits perfectly into a routine with moisturizing active ingredients (hyaluronic acid, niacinamide). I avoid layering it with products that are very rich in exfoliating acids or retinoids to preserve skin tolerance.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

This gel-cream stands out for its fresh, non-greasy texture and excellent tolerance. Its strengths lie in the synergy between peptides, ceramides, and squalane, which is ideal for plumping and strengthening the skin. One slight drawback is the presence of mastic tree essential oil, which should be monitored in very reactive skin types. In conclusion, this is an innovative, safe, and effective product for moisturizing and smoothing the skin on a daily basis.
