My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Labell's moisturizing day cream is primarily intended for normal to combination skin types seeking daily hydration without a greasy finish. This product aims to maintain the skin's moisture balance, protect the skin barrier, and offer light sun protection thanks to the presence of UV filters. My analysis of the formulation shows a desire to combine hydration, comfort, and prevention of premature aging linked to sun exposure, while remaining suited to the specific needs of combination skin.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three active ingredients stand out in this formula. First, the glycerin, a recognized humectant, attracts and retains water in the stratum corneum, ensuring long-lasting hydration and an immediate plumping effect. Next, the panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) promotes skin repair, soothes irritation, and strengthens the skin's protective barrier. Finally, the presence of organic sunscreens (octinoxate, octisalate, avobenzone) offers protection against UVA and UVB rays, thereby limiting oxidative damage and premature aging. The combination of these active ingredients guarantees effective hydration, daily protection, and optimal comfort for normal to combination skin.

Tips and Application Ritual

I recommend applying this treatment every morning to clean, dry skin, avoiding the eye area. It can be used alone or in combination with a light moisturizing serum. It is compatible with most moisturizing active ingredients (hyaluronic acid, niacinamide), but I do not recommend using it immediately after powerful exfoliating treatments (AHA/BHA) to limit the risk of irritation, especially when exposed to the sun.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

This Labell product offers excellent value for money for daily moisturizing of normal to combination skin, with the added benefit of built-in sun protection. Its light, non-greasy texture is a plus. The only downside is the presence of fragrance and regulated allergens, which should be monitored in very sensitive or reactive skin. My medical opinion: a well-designed formula for daily use, best suited to skin with no known hypersensitivity.
