Lierac Paris Hydra-Chrono Intense Rehydration Balm
This stuff comes in a luxurious, thick, slightly pink cream. It feels so gentle over the skin, and it hydrates amazingly. I don't even care that it seems to be for maturing skin - the hydration is fantastic. It contains a whole bunch of moisturizing plant oils, such as almond, coconut, shea, and apricot kernel. My only complaint is how much you get for the price -- it's such a small amount that I tend to be stingy when applying it to my face, so I end up needing a second coat of something else to seal the moisture in.
Where to buy: Walgreens, Amazon.com, Dermstore.com
List Price: $50.00
Normal to Slightly Dry Skin: 2/5. This is a heavy-duty product for a high price. Just not worth it if you don't need serious moisture.
Very Dry, Flaky Skin: 4/5. Still very expensive, but it makes good on its hydrating promise. The ingredients are also so good for your skin -- I don't use this as my only moisturizer, but occasional use has definitely nourished my face.
Sensitive Skin: 4/5. Doesn't sting at all, rather feels thick and velvety on raw and/or sensitive skin.

ReplyDeleteThe oils, glycerin, a form of hyaluronic acid, and three different kinds of dimethicone make this a very potent moisturizer. The urea is an ingredient that helps slough off old skin. My only complaint is that they included fragrance.
