My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Visit High-Performance Rich Anti-Aging Cream Lancôme's product is primarily intended for mature or dehydrated skin showing signs of aging such as wrinkles, loss of firmness, and dryness. My analysis of the formulation reveals a desire to target skin regeneration and restore the hydrolipidic barrier, while providing comfort and nutrition. This cream is part of a comprehensive anti-aging skincare approach, suitable for demanding skin types seeking effectiveness and sensoriality.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three key ingredients stand out in this formula:

• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) : known for its anti-inflammatory properties, it improves skin elasticity, reduces pigmentation spots, and strengthens the skin barrier.
• Hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid : thanks to its low molecular weight, it penetrates deeply to intensely moisturize, plump the skin, and smooth wrinkles.
• Adenosine : this biomimetic active ingredient stimulates collagen production and promotes cell repair, contributing to firmer, smoother skin.

The presence of plant oils (corn, coconut) and squalane provides deep nourishment, while antioxidants such as vitamin E protect the skin from oxidative stress. This synergy of active ingredients gives the cream remarkable effectiveness against the signs of aging.

Tips and Application Ritual

I prefer to apply this cream in the morning and/or evening, on clean skin, after applying serum. It fits perfectly into a routine with moisturizing or soothing active ingredients. I avoid using it at the same time as highly exfoliating products (strong acids, retinoids) to limit the risk of irritation, due to the presence of capryloyl salicylic acid (a salicylic derivative).

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

Lancôme's High-Performance Anti-Aging Rich Cream stands out for its high concentration of anti-aging and moisturizing active ingredients, offering comfort and effectiveness. Its creamy texture will appeal to dry skin types, but may be too rich for oily or blemish-prone skin (contains comedogenic oils). The presence of fragrance and regulated allergens may be a drawback for sensitive skin. My opinion: an expert cream, ideal for mature skin in need of nourishment and overall correction.
