My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Visit Rituals The Rituals of Sakura Body Cream is primarily intended for skin in need of hydration, comfort, and softness. This body care product from Rituals targets dry skin, loss of suppleness, and lack of radiance, while providing a refined sensory experience. Based on my analysis, the formula favors moisturizing and lipid-replenishing agents, suitable for normal to dry, even sensitive skin, seeking a creamy texture and a silky finish without a greasy effect.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three active ingredients stand out in this cream:

• Glycerine : A powerful humectant, it attracts and retains water in the stratum corneum, strengthening skin hydration and the protective barrier.
• Sunflower oil Rich in essential fatty acids, it nourishes, softens, and protects the skin from drying out, while providing natural antioxidants.
• Centella asiatica : Known for its soothing and restorative properties, this plant promotes skin regeneration and improves skin elasticity.

The presence of vitamin E derivatives and ubiquinone (coenzyme Q10) provides additional antioxidant protection, limiting the effects of oxidative stress and premature aging.

Tips and Application Ritual

I apply this cream ideally after showering, on clean, slightly damp skin, to optimize the penetration of the active ingredients. It can be used morning and/or evening as needed. Its formula is compatible with most moisturizing or soothing skincare products, but I recommend avoiding layering it with highly exfoliating or retinoid-based products to limit any risk of irritation.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

Rituals of Sakura Body Cream is appealing thanks to its rich texture, delicate fragrance, and intense moisturizing properties. Its blend of moisturizing and antioxidant ingredients makes it a high-quality skincare product for dry skin. The only downside is that it contains fragrance and potential allergens, which should be monitored in cases of very sensitive or atopic skin. My medical opinion: an effective, enjoyable skincare product, ideal for everyday comfort and softness.
