Creams & Moisturisers

What is the purpose of moisturising face cream?

Beautiful skin requires all the nutrients and water it needs, maintaining hydration throughout the day and protection from external aggressors. This is the daily role of moisturising face cream, an essential care at the heart of a face care ritual and one that should be chosen with care. At L’Occitane en Provence, each moisturising cream becomes a true skin treatment with a dual objective: nourishing the epidermis and enhancing the radiance of the face.

Which moisturising cream should you choose?

The choice of moisturising cream depends above all on your skin type and its specific needs. Dry skin seeks comfort and nourishment, while combination to oily skin prefers lighter textures to maintain balance. Sensitive skin appreciates gentle formulas, respectful of its natural fragility.
Texture also plays an essential role: fluid and airy for a fresh sensation, more enveloping for lasting comfort. Finally, depending on your priorities (radiance, prevention of signs of ageing, even complexion), targeted compositions will complement daily hydration.
At L’Occitane en Provence, moisturising creams are formulated with natural-origin ingredients, inspired by Provence and developed according to demanding French expertise, to offer the skin balance, softness and lasting radiance. Among our star ingredients, discover:

-Shea butter, renowned for its natural rich texture in fatty acids, particularly suited to dry to very dry skin. It helps nourish deeply, strengthen the skin barrier and restore lasting suppleness and comfort.
-Immortelle, an emblematic flower with exceptional properties, supports skin concerned by signs of ageing. Its essential oil helps support firmness, smooth the appearance of wrinkles and revive the complexion’s radiance.
-Reine Blanche, dedicated to uneven complexions and lack of luminosity. It helps improve skin uniformity and reduce the appearance of spots, gradually revealing a more even and radiant complexion.
-Eau de Réotier, drawn from the heart of Haute-Provence and naturally rich in calcium, ideal for dehydrated or acne-prone skin. It helps maintain hydration and preserve skin balance for fresh, plumped skin.
