My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Visit Typology Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Face Cream 1% + Shea Butter is primarily intended for skin that lacks moisture and is prone to dryness, dehydration, or discomfort. My analysis of the formulation reveals Typology's desire to offer a cream that is both nourishing and moisturizing, suitable for sensitive or fragile skin, while remaining minimalist and respectful of the skin's balance.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three key active ingredients structure the effectiveness of this treatment:

• Hyaluronic acid (1%) This benchmark moisturizing active ingredient acts like a molecular sponge, retaining water in the surface layers of the epidermis. It helps plump up the skin and smooth out dehydration lines.
• Shea butter Rich in fatty acids and vitamins, it intensely nourishes, restores the skin barrier, and protects against external aggressions. It is particularly suitable for dry or atopic skin.
• Squalane : A plant-based derivative, it mimics natural sebum, enhances skin suppleness, and limits imperceptible water loss without leaving a greasy residue.

The synergy of these active ingredients guarantees long-lasting hydration and optimal protection, while respecting the skin's physiology.

Tips and Application Ritual

I apply this cream in the morning and/or evening, on clean, dry skin, after serum if needed. It fits perfectly into a minimalist routine or can be combined with gentle active ingredients (niacinamide, vitamin C). I avoid layering it with products that are very rich in exfoliating acids or retinoids to preserve skin tolerance.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

The strength of this product lies in its short, no-frills formula and the combination of active ingredients known for their effectiveness and safety. The texture is enveloping without being occlusive. The only possible downside is the presence of a regulated allergen (benzyl alcohol), which should be monitored in very reactive skin. In conclusion, this is a high-quality moisturizer, ideal for restoring comfort and suppleness on a daily basis.
