My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

The nourishing and moisturizing day & night cream from Champs de Provence is mainly intended for dry to very dry skin that lacks comfort, suppleness, and nourishment. It aims to restore the skin barrier, prevent dehydration, and provide an immediate feeling of softness. Based on my analysis, the formula emphasizes natural active ingredients and plant oils, making it particularly suitable for sensitive skin or skin that has been weakened by external aggressions (cold, wind, pollution).

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three active ingredients stand out in this formula:

• Hemp oil (Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil) Rich in essential fatty acids (omega-3 and 6), it promotes skin barrier repair, soothes irritation, and improves skin elasticity.
• Shea butter : A powerful nourishing agent, it protects the skin from drying out, strengthens cell cohesion, and provides an immediate lipid-replenishing effect.
• Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate, Tocopherol) : A major antioxidant, it protects the skin from oxidative stress and prevents premature aging.

The presence of several vegetable oils (sunflower, olive, macadamia, sesame) enriches the formula with lipids, enhancing its nourishing and protective properties.

Tips and Application Ritual

I apply this cream morning and night to clean, dry skin, gently massaging it into my face and neck. It can be incorporated into a routine with moisturizing (hyaluronic acid) or soothing serums. I avoid combining it with powerful exfoliating active ingredients (AHA/BHA acids) in the same application so as not to overload the skin. Compatible with most moisturizing and soothing skincare products.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

Champs de Provence cream provides excellent nourishment thanks to its high content of plant oils and antioxidants. Its creamy texture provides comfort and suppleness, ideal for dry skin. The only downside is the presence of fragrance, which should be monitored in very reactive skin. My opinion: a safe, effective formula that respects the skin's balance.
