May news

The sun, air, water, unity with nature – this is what we dream of with the onset of warm days. It seems that cosmetics manufacturers read our minds and release new products accordingly.

line Hydraphase HA, La Roche-Posay

Personally, I have always had great sympathy for the Hyrdaphase range as basic moisturizers that will always come in handy in women’s household. After all, they really moisturize the skin. But there were no high expectations. Moreover, over the past couple of years, La Roche-Posay has released many bright new products that have relegated Hyrdaphase to the background, until better times, as they say.

And finally, these times have come, marked by the revival and renewal of the range, which seems to have rejuvenated, becoming more “green” and modern – both conceptually and in essence. First of all, gamma emphasizes its eco-orientation.

  1. The main component, hyaluronic acid, is obtained by eco-technologies through the bio-fermentation of plant sugars.

  2. All production takes place in a carbon-neutral factory – 100% of gas and electricity are obtained from “green” sources.

  3. 100% recyclable box.

  4. The brand’s slogan “Better life for sensitive skin” has been continued – “A better future for the planet.” You will find these words on the cardboard box.

  5. There is also a QR code on the box – scan it and you will find yourself on the Hydraphase HA page with information about the innovations in the range.

So, what is inside these stylish green tubes? By the way, the package has got a hermetic dispenser that protects the product from air and everything that can affect the stability of the formula.

Hydraphase HA light cream

This is an intensive moisturizing treatment for dehydrated normal and combination skin with hyaluronic acid and La Roche-Posay thermal water.

Personal experience: “The texture of this airy cream is great, the skin absorbs it instantly and with pleasure. Does the radiance and fullness that the manufacturer promises appear? Yes, definitely! Makeup on such skin lays down easily and evenly, during the day the cream does not make itself felt. You remember him only when you find yourself at the mirror and make sure that everything is in order with your face: the makeup is in place, the forehead does not shine, not a hint of dehydration. This is what really high-quality hydration means. I give this cream a five and will definitely use it all summer.

Hydraphase HA rich cream

An intensive moisturizing treatment option for normal to dry dehydrated skin types. It contains the same hyaluronic acid and thermal water, plus shea butter, which creates a barrier that retains moisture.

Hydraphase HA Yeux Concentrated Hydrating Eye Contour Gel

The triple alliance of hyaluronic acid, thermal water and caffeine helps the skin around the eyes get rid of lines of dehydration, signs of fatigue and bags under the eyes.

where to find?

Personal experience: “The gel copes with its duties one hundred percent – it is absorbed instantly, moisturizes and retains the result throughout the day, protecting the skin of the eyelids from dryness, which is far from being possible for all products for the skin around the eyes.”

Revitalizing Serum Mineral 89 Probiotic Factors, Vichy

If you think that this is the twin sister of the serum gel with the same name, then you are mistaken. Yes, the new serum is similar in texture and composition to the Mineral 89 gel, but there is a difference, and it is fundamental. The novelty, also mixed with Vichy mineralized volcanic water, contains a probiotic and an antioxidant vitamin, and this allows not only to moisturize the skin, but also to give it: radiance, firmness, elasticity, smoothness, and reduce wrinkles. All these effects are bonuses to the main action of the formula – strengthening the protective barrier of the skin.

Personal experience: “I like this formula much more than the serum gel of the same name, which I could not adapt to. This product with a probiotic fraction suited me both in terms of consistency and action: it is immediately absorbed, does not tighten the skin and does not leave a sticky feeling. Indeed, it moisturizes very well. I apply it on a still damp face after tonic, as I do with all serums and essences – the moisturizing effect becomes more pronounced and lasting.

sunscreen fluid Capital Soleil UV-Age Daily, Vichy

It is known that sun protection is the best prevention of wrinkles, age spots, dryness and other signs of skin photoaging, in which it is guilty – UV radiation. Vichy’s new product offers a new advanced way of protection, namely a formula that, in addition to solar filters, contains the brand’s star ingredients: a probiotic fraction, a peptide and niacinamide. The patented NETLOCK technology creates a weightless and invisible protection on the surface of the skin. And this means that the texture of this sunscreen promises to be not just light, but really imperceptible. Is it so?

Personal experience: “Whatever one may say, but oily skin, even on the threshold of adulthood, “deep down” remains the same “girl”. Yes, she is no longer worried about rashes, acne, and even the oily sheen is fading away, but, as in her youth, she is very distrustful of fatty textures and is very selective in choosing sunscreens. Too often high SPF sunscreens (for me personally) lead to clogged pores, even when presented in an innocent milk texture. Vichy’s new product is one of those few sunscreen products that I have no complaints about – the fluid seems to dissolve into the skin. Happy find.”

Correcting cream-gel for problem skin Effaclar Duo (+), SPF 30, La Roche-Posay

Oily, breakout-prone skin needs sun protection as much as, if not more than, other skin types. After all, an overdose of sunlight threatens problematic skin with a thickening of the stratum corneum (and it is already denser in it), even more active production of sebum and, as a result, new imperfections. The La Roche-Posay brand has found a great way out – it has released its famous cream from Effaclar Duo (+), supplementing the formula with a high SPF 30.

In the composition – glycerin, salicylic acid, lipohydroxy acid and sunscreens: moisturizing, exfoliating, cleansing pores and sun protection in one bottle.

Body milk Lait Corporel Biotherm x Coco Capitàn, limited edition, Biotherm

This is not the first summer Biotherm has been contributing to the fight for the cleanliness of the seas of our little blue planet. A new word in this genre is a collaboration with the Spanish artist Coco Capitan, who designed limited editions of three of the brand’s bestsellers, timed to coincide with the World Oceans Day on June 8th. The goal is to engage the public in the problem of the disappearance of phytoplankton in the oceans, which is the source of more than half of the oxygen produced on Earth. We certainly support the initiative and are happy to use beautifully designed bottles made from 100% recycled plastic.

Hydro-Plumping Serum Concentrate (with Hydrating Epidermal Filler Technology), Kiehl’s

Why invent something new when you can improve on the old? At least in the case of Kiehl’s Hydrating Serum Concentrate, it was the right move, resulting in a product that increases skin hydration levels by 120% 15 minutes after application (based on an instrumental test with 25 respondents).

The serum formula includes glycerin and an innovative component for the brand – a filler for epidermal hydration.

Kiehl’s Global expert Dr. Megan O’Brien explains, “Kiehl’s formula containing epidermal hydration filler can penetrate up to 10 layers of the epidermis into the skin. Maintaining the level of natural hyaluronic acid in the skin allows not only to eliminate the superficial signs of the effects of dehydration, but also to combat this problem. Moreover, with constant long-term use, the updated formula contributes to the appearance of a visible result.
