A balm-rich cream that puts lipids back into very dry skin
La Roche-Posay Nutritic Intense Rich is a nourishing, regenerating cream for sensitive, dry to very dry facial skin. Its balm-like texture restores the lipids missing from all layers of the epidermis, bringing back comfort and elasticity while soothing the feeling of tightness. The formula is built around MP-Lipids, a new generation of lipids that support the skin's own production of moisturising factors, lipids and proteins, together with shea butter, glycerin and niacinamide. Skin feels softer, more supple and comfortable again. In the brand's tests, 90% said irritation was soothed, 84% said skin was less dry and 81% said tightness was reduced.
The texture
A thick, rich cream with the feel of a nourishing balm. It melts as you warm it between your fingers and leaves a comforting, slightly satiny film rather than a matte finish, which is what very dry skin usually wants.
Who it suits
- Very dry facial skin that feels tight and flakes
- Sensitive dry skin that stings in cold or windy weather
- Mature skin that has become drier with age
- Anyone whose regular moisturiser no longer feels like enough
Worth knowing before you buy: this is a rich formula and will feel too heavy on combination or oily skin. It contains fragrance and a small amount of denatured alcohol. If you prefer a lighter texture, the non-rich Nutritic Intense is the same care in a softer cream.
How long one jar lasts
Used morning and evening, a 50ml jar lasts around six to eight weeks.
