My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Visit Biotherm Aquasource Triple Effect Night Balm is primarily intended for skin in need of intense hydration, comfort, and nighttime soothing. In my professional opinion, this product targets dry skin, tightness, and dullness, while helping to smooth the skin. The Biotherm brand has focused on a formula designed to repair the skin barrier during the night, a key time for cell renewal. In my opinion, this balm is part of a moisturizing and soothing skincare routine, particularly suited to skin that is dehydrated or sensitized by external aggressions.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three major assets catch my attention:

• Glycerine : A powerful humectant, it attracts and retains water in the epidermis, promoting lasting hydration and a visible plumping effect when you wake up.
• Vitreoscilla Ferment : This probiotic ferment, Biotherm's signature ingredient, helps strengthen the skin barrier and soothe feelings of discomfort by stimulating the skin's natural defenses.
• Tocopherol (Vitamin E) : A recognized antioxidant, it protects the skin from nighttime oxidative stress and contributes to cell repair.

The synergy of these active ingredients gives the product real effectiveness in terms of hydration and skin regeneration.

Tips and Application Ritual

I recommend applying this balm in the evening, on clean, dry skin, as the last step in your skincare routine. It can be used in combination with moisturizing or soothing serums, but I would avoid combining it with powerful exfoliating active ingredients (acids, retinoids) to limit the risk of irritation. Its rich texture is particularly suitable for normal to dry skin.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

This night balm stands out for its moisturizing and soothing properties, ideal for restoring the skin while you sleep. Its enveloping texture provides immediate comfort. However, the presence of fragrance and potential allergens may not be suitable for very sensitive or reactive skin. In conclusion, it is an effective treatment for skin in need of hydration, best used in winter or during periods of skin stress.
