My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Visit Payot Hydra 24+ Ice Cream is primarily intended for skin that lacks moisture and is prone to dehydration, discomfort, or tightness. This cream aims to restore and maintain skin hydration while providing a feeling of freshness. My expert opinion is that Payot's formula effectively targets the skin barrier, making it suitable for normal to dry, or even combination skin, seeking comfort and suppleness. It is not specifically designed to treat acne or deep wrinkles, but it can prevent skin aging linked to dehydration.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three active ingredients stand out in this formula:

• Hyaluronic acid (Sodium Hyaluronate) : Known for its ability to retain up to 1,000 times its weight in water, it intensely hydrates and plumps the skin, reducing the appearance of dehydration lines.
• Shea butter : it nourishes, protects, and strengthens the skin barrier thanks to its high content of fatty acids and vitamins, providing softness and elasticity.
• Vitamin C and E derivatives : they offer antioxidant action, protect the skin from external aggressions, and contribute to a radiant complexion.

The presence of glycerin and other humectants enhances hydration. The quality of the formula is based on the combination of moisturizing, nourishing, and protective active ingredients.

Tips and Application Ritual

I apply this cream morning and/or evening to clean skin, after serum. It fits perfectly into a moisturizing routine. It is compatible with most active ingredients, particularly serums containing hyaluronic acid or vitamin C. I avoid layering it with very occlusive products or those containing powerful retinoids so as not to overload the skin.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

Payot Hydra 24+ Ice Cream stands out for its fresh, melt-in texture, ideal for dehydrated skin. Its fragrance may be a drawback for very sensitive or reactive skin. In conclusion, it is a safe, effective, and pleasant moisturizer that perfectly meets daily hydration needs.
