Specially designed for normal to combination skin, I bought Biotherm Aquasource 48h Deep Hydration Replenishing Gel in Sephora when there was a 20% storewide sale with a complimentary 3 samples gift. It has been a long while since I use Biotherm moisturisers as the prices have been climbing uphill then and with some old favourites giving way to new product formulaes.
A 50ml moisturizer costs $69 and I brought it along to combat the harsh winter weather. Hydration is key when I am overseas so I always load up on hydrating products for travels. Biotherm moisturisers never fail me, including this Aquasource 48h Deep Hydration Replenishing Gel.
Housed in a jar, it may be considered unhygienic to most people but I usually just ensure my fingers are clean before dipping into it, and use a different finger if I need to dip in a 2nd time.
The gel texture is refreshing and cooling and provides an immediate relief to dehydrated skin, leaving it comfortable, soft and supple. There is no stickiness or greasiness and I like how comfortable and hydrated my skin feels. 48h is too much to ask for and since I usually wash my face twice a day so I can't really comment on its efficacy.
In winter weather, this moisturizer alone does not suffice as I need to layer essence, serum and moisturizer.
The only gripe is that, the ingredient list is not at all natural. Alcohol is listed as the 4th ingredient while the refreshing feeling after application is due to the irritating ingredient, menthol derivative menthoxypropanediol, And Menthol, in general is not good for the skin.
For the uninitiated, alcohol in skincare products causes dryness and free-radical damage, and impairs the skin’s ability to heal. The irritation it causes ( as well as irritation, in general ) damages healthy collagen production and can stimulate oil production at the base of the pore, making oily skin worse.
