{"title":"Dry skin and dehydration","description":"\u003cp\u003eDry skin and dehydrated skin are not the same thing. The former produces too little oil, the latter retains too little water and can even feel oily and look shiny.

Those foaming agents are exactly what cause problems for most people, because they don't distinguish between makeup and your skin's own lipids and remove both. Here, the fats in the milk do the work: they bind to the makeup and sebum and wash them away, while your own oil layer remains.

If you only replenish moisture, it will evaporate because there is no barrier to hold it in. This cream addresses both. The oil component comes from shea butter, mango seed butter, and avocado oil, which replenish the lipids that drier skin naturally produces too little of. The moisture component comes from an extract of tara bush seeds, which locks water into the upper layers of the skin. Additionally, it contains biomimetic peptides: small protein fragments that your skin recognizes as its own building blocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe texture is balmy and thick, but not sticky. The formula is non-comedogenic, so it will not clog your pores.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor whom\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor dry or dehydrated skin, and for anyone who finds winter or office air conditioning particularly harsh.

The heart of the formula is 1 percent high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid: large molecules that form a moisture reservoir on the skin's surface. In addition, it contains glycerol as a secondary humectant and sodium lactate, a gentle alpha-hydroxy acid that both binds moisture and softens the top layer. Plump skin is therefore not a matter of filling it with a thick cream, but of keeping water in the right place. Because it contains so few ingredients, the chance of a reaction is small, even for skin that reacts to almost everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe texture is liquid and light.

But skin that dries out produces even more sebum, and that’s where a vicious cycle begins. This fluid solves that by separating two things: moisture and oil. A long-lasting hydrating system with cross-linked hyaluronic acid brings moisture in, while silicon microparticles and absorbent powders capture excess sebum on the surface. Niacinamide and zinc help keep sebum production in balance. Additionally, it contains RetinSphere technology, a combination of hydroxypinacolone retinoate and encapsulated retinol that mildly helps renew the skin and thus refines its texture. Finally, tranexamic acid works on pigment, which explains why the formula does something about the brown spots that remain after a blemish has faded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe texture is a thin fluid that absorbs quickly and provides a matte finish.

Give it about four to six weeks before you judge your skin's texture, and count on longer for the spots: they fade slowly, sometimes over several months. Combine it with the Biretix Cleanser and, if you use a gel in the evening, with the Duo or Tri-Active Gel.

Added to this is Tensderm, a complex that makes the skin appear smoother immediately, and vitamin E as an antioxidant.

Niacinamide, the second ingredient here, supports the production of those exact fats in the spaces between cells.

In addition, hyaluronic acid and hydrolyzed collagen provide hydration and volume, panthenol and allantoin provide soothing, and Chondrus crispus, a red seaweed, provides the gel structure itself.

The plant-based oils in this formula—argan, jojoba, sweet almond, sesame, and olive—are similar in composition to the lipids your skin naturally has between its cells. They replenish that interstitial layer, so less moisture evaporates. The water phase also delivers vitamins C and E, plus acetyl hexapeptide-8, a peptide that makes your skin look smoother. The two phases separate in the bottle, which is why you shake it before use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt feels silky and not heavy; after a minute or two, any shine is gone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFor whom\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor those with thin, dry, dull-looking skin, and those whose fine lines seem more pronounced by the end of the day.

Warm the drops between your palms first and then press them in instead of rubbing. What people get wrong: using the oil as the very last step with nothing over it. An oil seals but binds little moisture itself, so it needs something water-based underneath. Contains kelp extract, so skip it if you are intolerant to iodine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat I would like to share with you\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFew products provide such a quick visible effect: your skin looks fuller that same evening. Don't be misled by that; the real work on your barrier happens in the weeks that follow. Three to five drops is enough. I see people using ten and then complaining that it keeps on shining. And if you're unsure whether oil is for you: use it only in the evening for a week; that is the fairest test there is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnsure if this suits your skin?

Shea butter replenishes the lipid barrier between your skin cells to reduce moisture evaporation, panthenol binds moisture and soothes, and rooibos extract acts as an antioxidant. The fact that it contains very little is not a shortcoming here, but precisely the reason it does what it does.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe texture is soft and creamy and feels cool upon application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFor whom\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor anyone whose skin is temporarily upset: tight and warm after a salon treatment, red after a day with too much sun, chapped after a winter walk, or overstimulated because there were too many active products in the routine at once.

Bisabolol and vitamin E soothe, retinyl palmitate works on fine lines around your lip contour, and menthol provides a cooling sensation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe texture is firm and waxy, not shiny, and feels more like a thin protective layer than a glossy one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFor whom\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor anyone whose lips flake and crack in the winter, or who remain dry all year round despite having a handbag full of balms.
