Does Bioderma Bioderma Sensibio Rich Soothing Cream work?

Based on the ingredient list analysis by CreamScan AI, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Bioderma Bioderma Sensibio Rich Soothing Cream:

  • Intense moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 8.9 out of 10.

Perfect moisturizer for normal to dry skin

According to CreamScan analysis, Bioderma Bioderma Sensibio Rich Soothing Cream is intensely moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 8.9 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather humectant. It has a maximum humectancy of 10.0 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈6.0%), and a high occlusivity of 7.8 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Mineral Oil (est. ≈9.0%) and Tridecyl Trimellitate (est. ≈4.0%).

This type of moisturizer is ideal for people with normal skin who want intense hydration in a rich yet not overly thick formula. It combines a high concentration of humectants with a significant amount of occlusive ingredients to provide effective dual-action moisturizing.

The product’s occlusive profile suggests a texture that is rich and creamy but not overly thick, offering the potential to absorb into the skin without leaving a greasy afterfeel in most cases.

This product may also be a good choice for people with dry (but not very dry) skin for daily hydration, as it strikes a balance between significant moisturizing potential and a texture that is not too thick.
