According to the scientists behind the brand Uriage, fragile, red, uncomfortable skin is not a skin type but rather a condition. One that can be healed and restored with just the right cream. And they’ve got one.
The CICA Daily Repairing Cream Concentrate is their solution, as it is said to rebalance well-worn and worn-out feeling and looking skin pretty much right away. So, we put it to the test, applying the thermal water and prebiotic inulin-based formula to our clean face in the morning (after applying its Intense Repairing Serum) and before bed for 48 hours. We have to say: we are impressed.
The formula’s inclusion of ingredients centella asiatica (otherwise known as Tiger Grass), hyaluronic acid, vitamin B5 and ceramides restored, hydrated, plumped and soothed our face, while protecting it from the environment’s aggressors, such as pollution, stress and grime. Thermal waters combined with inulin strengthened its physical and immune barriers, which rebalanced its appearance lessening signs of redness caused by irritation. Overall, we like what we see and feel. Our complexion looks calmer, more luminous and even toned, and it feels softer to the touch.
Uriage CICA Daily Repairing Cream Concentrate $41, for 50 ml and the CICA Daily Intense Repairing Serum, $47 for 30 ml, both available at Shoppers Drug Mart and online at www.uriage.ca.
