My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Ahava's Dermud nourishing body cream is primarily intended for dry, sensitive skin or skin prone to discomfort. Its formula aims to restore the skin barrier, soothe irritation, and provide long-lasting hydration. My analysis highlights a composition designed for skin in need of nourishment, with an emphasis on repair and protection, while incorporating soothing and lipid-replenishing active ingredients.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three active ingredients stand out in this formula:

• Dead Sea mud (Silt, Maris Aqua) Rich in minerals, it promotes skin regeneration, soothes inflammation, and improves skin texture. Its remineralizing action is known to strengthen the skin barrier.
• Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract) This plant extract intensely moisturizes, calms redness, and accelerates skin tissue repair thanks to its polysaccharides and vitamins.
• Allantoin : A soothing and restorative active ingredient, it stimulates cell proliferation and reduces feelings of irritation, ideal for fragile skin.

The presence of zinc oxide provides additional protection against external aggressions, while vitamin E (tocopherol) offers antioxidant action.

Tips and Application Ritual

I prefer to apply this cream in the evening, on clean, dry skin, focusing on the driest or most irritated areas. It can be incorporated into a skincare routine with moisturizing or lipid-replenishing products, but I avoid combining it with powerful exfoliants or irritating active ingredients (retinoids, strong acids) to preserve skin tolerance. Compatible with gentle skincare products, it is suitable for daily use.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

Ahava's Dermud nourishing cream stands out for its rich content of repairing and soothing active ingredients, ideal for dry and sensitive skin. Its enveloping texture provides immediate comfort. The only downside is the presence of fragrance and potential allergens, which should be monitored in very reactive skin. My medical opinion: an effective skincare product, ideal for nourishing and repairing the skin.
