My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Visit Original Anti-Dryness Body Lotion with Citrus Essences Biotherm's product is primarily intended for dry to very dry skin prone to dehydration and discomfort. My analysis of the formulation reveals a clear desire on the part of the brand to target the restoration of the skin barrier and provide long-lasting hydration. This body care product aims to soothe tightness, improve skin suppleness, and prevent insensible water loss, while offering a sensory experience thanks to its citrus essences.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three major assets catch my attention:

• Glycerine : A powerful humectant, it attracts and retains water in the stratum corneum, promoting immediate and prolonged hydration.
• Olive oil (Olea Europaea Fruit Oil) Rich in essential fatty acids, it nourishes, protects, and restores the lipid barrier, limiting dehydration.
• Vitamin E (Tocopherol) : A recognized antioxidant, it protects the skin from oxidative stress and contributes to skin repair.

The presence of silicones (dimethicone, dimethiconol) contributes to the softness and protection of the skin, without any major occlusive effect. Citrus essences add a sensory dimension and a slight toning effect.

Tips and Application Ritual

I recommend applying this body lotion daily, preferably after showering, to clean, slightly damp skin to optimize the penetration of the active ingredients. It can be used in the morning and/or evening. This product is compatible with most moisturizing and lipid-replenishing 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 Biotherm product stands out for its moisturizing effectiveness, its fluid, non-sticky texture, and its invigorating citrus fragrance. Its main advantage lies in the synergy between glycerin, plant oils, and vitamin E. One possible drawback: the presence of fragrance and allergens (limonene, linalool, citral) may not be suitable for very sensitive or atopic skin. In conclusion, this is a reliable and pleasant skincare product for combating dry skin on a daily basis.
