Skin is stronger and ready to face even the most extreme conditions.

Enriched with c=Ceramides + ipids

This comforting balm-in-cream is formulated with a complex of ceramides + lipids, essential active ingredients that strengthen the skin barrier and reduce water loss. Naturally present in the skin, ceramides are the main components of the intercellular cement that locks in moisture, while lipids help restore the skin's hydrolipidic film. Together, they intensely nourish the skin, soothe sensations of discomfort, and reinforce the skin barrier, which protects against external aggressors. Day after day, the skin becomes more resilient, nourished, and comfortable, with lasting results

Directions

What's the best way to use this Balmy Rich Cream?

Apply the balmy cream to clean, dry skin in the morning and evening, after your serum. Spread over face and neck.



Can this Balmy Rich Cream be used alone?

This balmy cream can be used on its own, but for maximum efficacy, we recommend combining it with the SEPHORA COLLECTION Dewy Bubble Serum. These two products complement each other perfectly in your routine. The serum hydrates up to 15 layers of the epidermis (1) and restores the skin barrier. As for the balmy cream, it nourishes the skin and repairs the skin barrier. When you use both products as part of a routine, you benefit from even greater efficacy with +137% more hydration (2).



(1) Ex vivo test on human skin explants, 3 hours after application.

(2) Clinical study on 9 people, 30 minutes after application. Instrumental measurement.



Why should you choose this texture?

Its balmy texture makes it the perfect product for moisturizing dry to very dry skin, even sensitive skin, by providing it with comfort and hydration without any greasy finish. If your skin is normal to dry, go with the SEPHORA COLLECTION Satin Light Cream instead. For normal to combination skin, opt for the Bouncy Water Jelly.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Extra thick, doesn't absorb very well for me This is a super thick cream so you only need a very little bit otherwise it won't absorb at all. Packaging says day or night cream but the balmy texture wouldn't work under makeup I don't think, would work as a night cream though. As it takes a looong time to sink in, if you work it too much on your face it will start to ball up. No scent to it at all which is good, fragrance isn't necessary in skincare. The square packaging is misleading as the pot of product is actually round so it looks like you're getting more than you are. Also the underside is open so big gaps underneath which I feel would get full of stuff in a makeup bag

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very effective and hydrating and not greasy. The Sephora Collection Balmy Rich Cream is extremely hydrating yet not greasy at all. The texture is very creamy and goes smoothly onto the skin. It has ingredients such as ceramides and lipids all which help with keeping the skin moisturised. And I found that it worked effectively at managing very dry and sensitive skin. I also love that it is free from animal derived ingredients. And that it is also a refillable jar. I think that a little of it goes a long way so it is really worth it for the price. And I would consider buying it again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very good I've really been enjoying this moisturiser. It leaves my skin feeling soft, smooth and well hydrated without leaving any sticky residual. The consistency is rich, but still easy to spread and it absorbs nicely making a fit for both day and night. The scent is light and subtle and the packaging is really good. Overall is my skin healthy and hydrated.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great for dry & sensitive skin This is great for dry & sensitive skin, it has a really rich formula which glides on, takes a bit of time to absorb but keeps skin hydrated & glowing. Simply use twice a day morning & evening, you only need a little bit as it goes a long way.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very Hydrating This is a really rich balm that absorbs really well into the skin leaving a really hydrated and smooth feel to my skin.I did feel that initially it was a bit sticky but that did lessen over time.I have dry combination skin and it was noticably a lot more refreshed and not dry after use.Ive used it daily since i got the balm and I am noticing with regular use the dryness ive been having due to menopause is definetly improved.It also doesnt have a scent that i noticed which is definelty a bonus.
