La Roche-Posay
A rich balm with panthenol, glycerin, shea butter and a Centella-derived component. We picked it for dry-feeling areas.
01 · Why it was shortlisted
A formula example, not a universal answer.
For some people the heavy texture may work better on target areas or in the evening than as an all-over daytime moisturiser. The balm pairs panthenol, glycerin and shea butter with madecassoside, a component of Centella asiatica. Our ingredient pages class panthenol and glycerin as humectants used for a comfortable skin feel. A thin layer on dry-feeling areas may be all you need. Formulas can vary by market, so compare the current pack ingredient list before you buy.
