My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Visit Payot Uni Skin – Day cream is primarily intended for individuals seeking daily protection against environmental aggressors, including oxidative stress, pollution, and UV rays. This cream targets skin tone unification, skin aging prevention, and skin radiance. My analysis of the formulation reveals Payot's desire to offer a multifunctional skincare product that is suitable for skin exposed to urban life, while providing hydration and sun protection.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three active ingredients stand out in this formula:

• Sunscreen filters (Octocrylene, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Avobenzone) They provide broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays, thereby limiting photoaging and the appearance of pigmentation spots.
• Vitamin C derivatives (Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate, Ascorbic Acid) These antioxidant molecules neutralize free radicals, stimulate collagen synthesis, and contribute to a radiant complexion.
• Plant extracts (Sophora Flavescens, Kiwi, Calendula, Watercress) They have soothing and anti-inflammatory properties and even out the complexion thanks to their high polyphenol and vitamin content.

The presence of vitamin E enhances the antioxidant action, while glycerin ensures long-lasting hydration.

Tips and Application Ritual

I apply this cream in the morning, on clean, dry skin, as the last step in my routine. It can be combined with moisturizing or antioxidant serums, but I avoid combining it with powerful exfoliating products (AHA/BHA acids) to limit the risk of irritation. Its sun protection makes it ideal for daytime use, but it is not suitable for nighttime use.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

Payot Uni Skin Day Cream stands out for its versatility: sun protection, antioxidant action, and skin tone unification. Its light texture is suitable for most skin types, although the presence of fragrance and alcohol may be a drawback for very sensitive skin. In conclusion, it is a complete urban skincare product that is effective in preventing skin aging and enhancing the radiance of the face.
