Product summary

"La Roche-Posay - Nutritic Intense" has a good moisturizing formula. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. La Roche-Posay - Nutritic Intense ticks this box. Humectants in this product (glycerin, bis-peg-18 methyl ether dimethyl silane and caprylyl glycol) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Paraffinum liquidum, butyrospermum parkii butter, cera microcristallina, dimethicone and dimethiconol in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.

This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: vitamin e and niacinamide
