My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Visit Biotherm Aquasource Hyalu Plump Gel is primarily intended for skin in need of intense hydration, whether normal, combination, or dehydrated. The promise of 48-hour hydration positions this gel as an ideal solution for combating dry skin, tightness, and dullness. Based on my analysis, Biotherm's formula aims to strengthen the skin barrier while providing a plumping effect, making it a good choice for preventing the first signs of fine lines caused by dehydration.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three major active ingredients stand out in this formula:

• Hyaluronic acid (Sodium Hyaluronate) : known for its ability to retain up to 1,000 times its weight in water, it intensely hydrates and plumps the skin both on the surface and deep down.
• Ceramides and Cholesterol : these biomimetic lipids restore the skin barrier, limit water loss, and strengthen the skin's resistance to external aggressions.
• Capryloyl Salicylic Acid : this salicylic acid derivative promotes gentle exfoliation, refines skin texture, and optimizes the penetration of other moisturizing active ingredients.

The presence of shea butter and apricot oil provides extra nourishment, making the formula suitable even for slightly dry skin.

Tips and Application Ritual

I apply this gel in the morning and/or evening to clean skin, in a thin layer on the face and neck. It fits perfectly into a routine with moisturizing or soothing serums. I avoid combining it with very exfoliating products (concentrated AHAs/BHAs) to limit the risk of irritation, but it is compatible with vitamin C or niacinamide.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

This gel stands out for its fresh, non-greasy texture and immediate plumping effect. Its formula, rich in moisturizing and repairing active ingredients, makes it a daily ally for dehydrated skin. The only downside is the presence of fragrance and denatured alcohol, which may not be suitable for very sensitive or reactive skin. My medical opinion: an excellent moisturizer, ideal for skin lacking moisture, but be mindful of individual tolerance.
