My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Nuxe's Velvet Lifting Cream is primarily intended for mature skin showing signs of sagging, loss of firmness, and established wrinkles. My analysis of the formula reveals a desire to target loss of tone and lack of density, while providing comfort and nourishment. This cream is part of a comprehensive anti-aging skincare approach, suitable for skin in need of firming and radiance, while respecting the sensoriality dear to the Nuxe brand.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three active ingredients stand out in this formula. First, the squalane, known for its biomimetic properties, restores the lipid barrier and improves skin suppleness. Next, the’extract of Undaria pinnatifida (brown algae) acts as a collagen booster, promoting skin firmness and density thanks to its polysaccharides and antioxidants. Finally,’marshmallow root extract (Althaea officinalis) has a soothing and moisturizing effect, while strengthening protection against external aggressions. The combination of these active ingredients gives the cream a noticeable effect on skin tone and nutrition.

Tips and Application Ritual

I recommend applying this cream in the morning and/or evening to clean skin, using upward strokes on the face and neck. It can be combined with a hyaluronic acid or vitamin C-based serum to boost hydration and radiance. However, it is best to avoid immediate combination with highly exfoliating skincare products (AHA/BHA acids) to preserve skin tolerance.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

Nuxe's Velvet Lifting Cream stands out for its rich, enveloping texture, ideal for skin in need of comfort. Its formula, focused on firmness and nutrition, is a boon for mature skin. The only downside is the presence of fragrance and potential allergens, which should be monitored in very sensitive skin. My medical opinion: an expert, effective, and sensorial cream to incorporate into a demanding anti-aging routine.
