Description
About This Product
A thick, daily-use moisturizing cream for dry to very dry skin. The formula contains niacinamide and a sugar-based barrier complex (xylitol, mannitol, rhamnose) that helps your skin produce its own ceramides and hyaluronic acid rather than just layering them on top. Mineral oil and glycerin handle the moisture-locking side.
Works on both face and body. Unisex. Bioderma positions it as family-safe, including children and infants.
Bioderma is a French dermocosmetic brand. Made in France. Paraben free, oil free (no heavy botanical oils - uses mineral oil as the occlusive), and cruelty free. Recognised as Best of 2025 on Nykaa. Dermatologist recommended.
What This Product Does
- Supports barrier repair: The sugar complex (xylitol, mannitol, rhamnose, fructooligosaccharides) and niacinamide help skin rebuild its lipid barrier. This is not a quick fix - it works with consistent use.
- Locks in moisture: Mineral oil acts as an occlusive and glycerin as a humectant. Skin stays hydrated longer, even in air conditioned environments.
- Reduces dryness and flaking: Regular use smooths rough, flaky patches and reduces that tight feeling dry skin gets by mid-afternoon.
- Calms irritated skin: Niacinamide and Laminaria Ochroleuca extract (a seaweed-derived ingredient) help soothe skin that reacts to pollution, hard water, or frequent washing.
What This Product Does NOT Do
- No SPF - you still need a separate sunscreen.
- Will not treat active acne or pigmentation.
- Will not lighten skin.
- Does not contain exfoliating acids.
- Not an overnight fix - results build with regular, consistent use.
Who Should Use It
- Dry to very dry skin types
- Sensitive skin that reacts to weather changes or hard water
- Anyone dealing with persistent tightness, flaking, or rough texture
- People in AC environments for long hours
- Families wanting one moisturizer for face and body, adults and kids alike
- Anyone looking for a paraben free, cruelty free daily moisturizer
Who Should Skip It
- Oily or acne-prone skin - this is a rich cream that will likely feel heavy
- Those who prefer lightweight gel textures
- Anyone with a known sensitivity to mineral oil or silicones (both are present in the formula)
- Those seeking active treatment for pigmentation, acne, or anti-aging - this is a moisturizer, not a treatment product
Common Questions
Will this work in humid Indian weather?It is built for dry skin. In humidity, use a smaller amount. If you are oily and it is July in Mumbai, this is probably not the right product for you.
Can I use it on both face and body?Yes, it is designed for both.
Is it safe for kids?Bioderma positions it as family-safe including infants. That said, check with your pediatrician if your child has any existing skin conditions.
Does it pill under sunscreen?Usually not, if you apply a thin layer and let it absorb fully before applying sunscreen.
Can it help with eczema?It supports hydration and barrier function, which can help with mild dryness. It is not a medicated treatment. For eczema, consult a dermatologist.
Is it paraben free?Yes. Also cruelty free.
Does it contain hyaluronic acid?No. The formula stimulates your skin's own hyaluronic acid production through its sugar-based complex. Hyaluronic acid is not a listed ingredient.
