My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Visit Nighttime water mask of the brand Uriage is primarily intended for dehydrated, dull, or uncomfortable skin. Its formula aims to restore skin hydration during the night, a key period when the skin regenerates. My expert opinion is that this mask effectively targets dryness, loss of radiance, and tightness, thanks to a synergy of moisturizing and soothing active ingredients. It is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, but I particularly recommend it for people exposed to external aggressions or climatic variations.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three key ingredients stand out in this formula:

• Hyaluronic acid (Sodium Hyaluronate) : This active ingredient is known for its ability to retain up to 1,000 times its weight in water, promoting intense hydration and an immediate plumping effect. It helps smooth out dehydration lines.
• Squalane : A plant-based derivative, it mimics the skin's natural lipids, strengthening the skin barrier and limiting water loss. It leaves skin feeling soft and supple without any greasy residue.
• Extract of Edelweiss (Leontopodium Alpinum) : This plant extract has antioxidant properties, helping to protect the skin from nighttime oxidative stress and soothe irritation.

The presence of glycerin and urea completes the moisturizing action, making the formula particularly effective at restoring skin comfort.

Tips and Application Ritual

I apply this mask in the evening, in a thin layer on clean skin, instead of my night cream. It can be used two to three times a week. It is compatible with most moisturizing active ingredients (hyaluronic acid, ceramides), but I do not recommend combining it with powerful exfoliants (AHA/BHA) on the same evening to avoid irritation.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

This Uriage mask stands out for its moisturizing effectiveness, fresh, non-greasy texture, and good tolerance. The fragrance, although subtle, may not be suitable for ultra-sensitive skin. In conclusion, it is an excellent nighttime treatment for rehydrating and soothing the skin, with a very good safety profile.
