My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

A-Derma's Universal Moisturizing Cream with Hyaluronic Acid is primarily intended for skin that lacks moisture and is prone to dryness, dehydration, or discomfort. My analysis of the formulation reveals a desire to offer a versatile product suitable for the whole family, including those with sensitive skin. The rich but non-greasy texture aims to restore the skin barrier and provide immediate comfort, while limiting the risk of irritation.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three key active ingredients stand out in this formula. First, hyaluronic acid (in the form of sodium hyaluronate) acts as a powerful humectant, capable of retaining up to 1,000 times its weight in water, providing intense and long-lasting hydration to the epidermis. Next, shea butter provides essential lipids, promoting skin barrier repair and protection against external aggressions. Finally, oat extract (Avena sativa) is known for its soothing and anti-irritant properties, ideal for calming reactive skin. The combination of these active ingredients guarantees optimal effectiveness in restoring skin suppleness and comfort.

Tips and Application Ritual

I recommend applying this cream morning and/or evening to clean, dry skin on the face and body as needed. It can be incorporated into a minimalist routine or combined with moisturizing or soothing serums. It is compatible with most active ingredients, but I do not recommend combining it with powerful exfoliants (AHA/BHA acids) to avoid irritation on sensitive skin.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

The strengths of this product lie in its tolerance, versatility, and the quality of its moisturizing and repairing active ingredients. The texture is pleasant, without any sticky effect. A slight drawback could be noted for very oily skin types, which might prefer a lighter texture. In conclusion, this is a safe, effective skincare product suitable for the whole family.
