My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Visit 48-Hour Hydrating Plumping Cream Crème fraîche de beauté® Nuxe is primarily intended for skin in need of intense hydration, comfort, and suppleness. It targets dry skin, dehydration, and dullness, while providing a plumping effect. My analysis of the formulation reveals Nuxe's desire to offer a cream that is both nourishing and protective, suitable for normal to dry skin, including sensitive skin.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three active ingredients stand out in this formula:

• Glycerine : A powerful humectant, it attracts and retains water in the stratum corneum, ensuring long-lasting hydration and limiting insensible water loss.
• Shea butter Rich in fatty acids, it nourishes, protects the skin barrier, and soothes feelings of discomfort, while enhancing the skin's suppleness.
• Vitamin E (Tocopherol) : A recognized antioxidant, it protects the skin from oxidative stress and external aggressions, helping to preserve youthful skin.

The presence of sweet almond oil completes the nourishing action, while moisturizing sugars (xylitol, xylitylglucoside) optimize water retention. This synergy of active ingredients explains the product's ability to restore and maintain skin hydration.

Tips and Application Ritual

I apply this cream morning and/or evening to clean skin, after applying serum. It fits perfectly into a moisturizing routine, in combination with soothing or antioxidant active ingredients. I avoid combining it with highly exfoliating or retinoid-based skincare products to limit the risk of irritation, especially on sensitive skin.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

Nuxe's Crème fraîche de beauté® offers effective hydration, a creamy texture, and the brand's signature pleasant fragrance. Its strength lies in the combination of moisturizing and nourishing active ingredients. The only downside is that the presence of fragrance and potential allergens (linalool, geraniol, limonene) may not be suitable for very reactive skin. My medical opinion: an excellent option for skin in need of comfort, to be used in the absence of known allergies.
