A highly effective daily moisturizer that focuses on the skin's microbiome using prebiotic thermal water. It combines ceramide-3, niacinamide, and glycerin for a multi-faceted approach to hydration.
Quality & Materials
Contains Ceramide NP, Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), and Glycerin. Uses La Roche-Posay Prebiotic Thermal Water as the base.
Evidence & Testing
Extensively tested on sensitive skin with clinical data showing barrier repair in as little as 1 hour.
Brand Transparency
Follows L'Oreal Group's transparency standards; ingredients are listed, but specific percentages of ceramides are not disclosed.
Value Assessment
Solid mid-market pricing. Often available at discounts in major pharmacies.
Why Not Alternatives?
Offers a more cosmetically elegant finish than CeraVe and includes niacinamide for soothing, which is often missing in basic high-volume moisturizers.
