My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Visit Hydrating and energizing milk of the brand Payot is primarily intended for skin in need of hydration and vitality. Its light, milky texture aims to revitalize the epidermis while providing immediate comfort. This product is designed for normal to dry skin prone to dehydration, dullness, or tightness. My analysis of the formulation reveals a desire to combine hydration, antioxidant protection, and a soothing effect, making it a versatile product for tired skin or skin exposed to environmental stress.

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. Next, the extract of sacred lotus flower (Nelumbo Nucifera) and green tea (Camellia Sinensis) provide antioxidant action, protecting the skin from free radicals and premature aging. Finally, the pro-vitamin B5 (panthenol) promotes skin repair and soothes irritation. The combination of these active ingredients gives the product overall effectiveness in terms of radiance, suppleness, and protection of the skin.

Tips and Application Ritual

I recommend applying this lotion morning and/or evening to clean skin, massaging gently until completely absorbed. It can be incorporated into a moisturizing routine, after a water-based serum and before sunscreen in the morning. It is compatible with most moisturizing and antioxidant active ingredients, but I do not recommend using it immediately after powerful exfoliating treatments (AHA/BHA acids) to avoid potential irritation.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

This product stands out for its light texture, pleasant fragrance, and ability to moisturize while revitalizing the skin. Its richness in plant extracts and antioxidants is a definite plus. However, the presence of alcohol and fragrance may not be suitable for very sensitive or reactive skin. In conclusion, this is an effective moisturizing lotion, ideal for skin lacking energy, provided you are not intolerant to fragrances or alcohol.
