My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Visit Vitamin C Lactic Dewy Deep Cream Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare is primarily intended for skin in need of radiance, intense hydration, and correction of signs of aging, including wrinkles, dullness, and loss of firmness. My analysis of the formulation reveals a synergy of active ingredients that are antioxidant, moisturizing, and regenerating, positioning this product as a comprehensive solution for tired, dehydrated, or mature skin. The brand offers a scientific approach, relying on ingredients with proven effectiveness to target skin aging and lack of radiance.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three major active ingredients stand out in this cream:

• 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (vitamin C derivative): known for its stability and ability to stimulate collagen synthesis, it protects the skin from oxidative stress and reduces pigmentation spots.
• Lactic Acid (lactic acid): this AHA gently exfoliates, promotes cell renewal, and improves skin texture without causing irritation, while maintaining hydration.
• Niacinamide (vitamin B3): it strengthens the skin barrier, regulates sebum production, and evens out the complexion, while soothing inflammation.

The presence of ceramides, squalane, and plant oils completes the moisturizing and repairing action, ensuring optimal tolerance even for sensitive skin.

Tips and Application Ritual

I prefer to apply this cream in the morning, on clean skin, after serum. It fits perfectly into a routine with antioxidants or hyaluronic acid. I avoid combining it with retinoids or other AHAs/BHAs at the same time to limit the risk of irritation. Sunscreen is essential during the day, as vitamin C and AHAs can make the skin more sensitive to the sun.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

Vitamin C Lactic Dewy Deep Cream stands out thanks to its innovative formula, combining radiance, hydration, and anti-aging action. Its rich but non-greasy texture is suitable for most skin types. The only downside is the presence of a few fragrant extracts (lavender, ylang-ylang) that may irritate very reactive skin. My medical opinion: an effective skincare product, ideal for revitalizing and protecting the skin on a daily basis.
