My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

L'Ultra-Moisturizing Body Emulsion from Vegetable Placenta is primarily intended for dry to very dry skin in need of intense hydration and lasting comfort. Its formula aims to restore the skin barrier, soothe feelings of tightness, and prevent dehydration. My analysis highlights a composition designed to boost hydration while leaving the skin soft and supple, making it particularly suitable for sensitive skin or skin weakened by external aggressions.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three major assets catch my attention:

• Glycerine : A powerful humectant, it attracts and retains water in the surface layers of the epidermis, ensuring immediate and prolonged hydration.
• Allantoin Derived from comfrey, it promotes skin repair, soothes irritation, and stimulates cell regeneration, making it ideal for damaged or reactive skin.
• Vegetable oils (Apricot, Sunflower, Squalane) Rich in essential fatty acids, they restore the hydrolipidic film, deeply nourish, and protect the skin from external aggressions.

The synergy of these active ingredients guarantees optimal effectiveness on dry skin, while respecting the skin's natural balance.

Tips and Application Ritual

I prefer to apply this emulsion in the morning and/or evening, on clean, dry skin, massaging until it is completely absorbed. It can be combined with gentle moisturizers, but I avoid combining it with powerful exfoliating active ingredients (AHA/BHA) so as not to irritate the skin. Its light texture allows you to get dressed quickly after application.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

This product stands out for its moisturizing effectiveness, tolerance, and rich natural active ingredients. One slight drawback: it contains fragrance, which may be an issue for those with very sensitive skin. In conclusion, I recommend this product for restoring comfort and suppleness while respecting the skin's physiology.
