My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Visit MINERAL 89 100h Moisture Boosting Cream Rich Vichy is primarily intended for skin that lacks moisture and is prone to dryness, dehydration, and discomfort. This treatment aims to restore the skin barrier and provide intense, long-lasting hydration, making it particularly suitable for dry to very dry skin, as well as skin that has been sensitized by external aggressions. My opinion of the formula is very positive, as it combines active ingredients known for their moisturizing and repairing properties, while respecting skin tolerance.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three key active ingredients stand out in this cream:

• Hyaluronic acid (Sodium Hyaluronate) : It acts like a molecular sponge, retaining water in the epidermis and plumping up the skin. Its action smooths out dehydration lines and provides an immediate plumping effect.
• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) : This multifunctional active ingredient strengthens the skin barrier, soothes irritation, and evens out the complexion. It is also known for its anti-inflammatory and restorative properties.
• Squalane : Of plant origin, it mimics the skin's natural lipids, restores the hydrolipidic film, and protects against water loss, while providing softness and comfort.

The presence of shea butter and vitamin E completes the formula, providing nourishment and antioxidant protection.

Tips and Application Ritual

I apply this cream in the morning and/or evening, on clean skin, after applying serum. It fits perfectly into a moisturizing routine, working in synergy with active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid or vitamin C. I avoid combining it with very exfoliating skincare products or powerful retinoids to limit the risk of irritation.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

The strengths of this product lie in its rich but non-greasy texture, its long-lasting moisturizing power, and its excellent tolerance. A slight drawback may be noted for very oily or acne-prone skin, due to certain fatty substances. In conclusion, it is an excellent choice for restoring comfort and suppleness to dry and dehydrated skin.
