My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Visit HYDRABIO Face Mask from Bioderma is primarily intended for dehydrated, sensitive, or fragile skin that feels uncomfortable, tight, or dry. Its formula aims to restore deep skin hydration and strengthen the skin's protective barrier. My expert opinion is that this mask is part of a rigorous dermo-cosmetic approach, tailored to the needs of dehydrated skin, while respecting its sensitivity thanks to a selection of moisturizing and soothing active ingredients.

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 lasting hydration.
• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) : This multifunctional active ingredient strengthens the skin barrier, soothes irritation, and stimulates the synthesis of ceramides, which are essential for cell cohesion.
• Fructooligosaccharides Prebiotics that contribute to the balance of the skin microbiome, thereby strengthening the skin's natural defenses.

The presence of silicones (cyclopentasiloxane, dimethicone) optimizes the texture and forms a non-occlusive protective film, limiting insensible water loss. The combination of sugars (xylitol, mannitol, glucose) enhances hydration and skin comfort.

Tips and Application Ritual

I recommend applying this mask in the evening, on clean, dry skin, in a thick layer. Leave on for 10 to 15 minutes, then remove the excess without rinsing. It can be used once or twice a week. Compatible with moisturizing or soothing skincare products, it is best to avoid immediate combination with powerful exfoliating active ingredients (acids, retinoids) to preserve skin tolerance.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

This mask stands out for its moisturizing effectiveness, tolerance, and enveloping texture, ideal for thirsty skin. One slight drawback: the presence of fragrance, which may be something to watch out for if you have ultra-reactive skin. In conclusion, I recommend this treatment to restore comfort and suppleness while respecting the skin's physiology.
