Did you think you have tried everything to smooth these small wrinkles that settle? A night cream here, a serum there … and always this doubt in the morning in front of the mirror.
A plant formula that makes more than smooth
At the heart of this cream signed Yves Rocher, three flagship ingredients which are not there to make it pretty on the label. The first is the Glacial ficoid, a plant nicknamed “herb of life” cultivated in Brittany according to the principles of agroecology. It is extracted cold by cryo-extraction, a patented process which allows to keep 100 % of its assets, twice as concentrated as in a conventional extraction.
Then comes Hyaluronic acid of natural origin, capable of retaining up to 1000 times its weight in water. Result: the skin is intensely hydrated and plump. Finally, the Vegetable collagen, derived from a protein of natural origin, restructure the skin matrix to improve firmness.
The promise? A combined action that stimulates the deep anti-wrinkle mechanisms of your skin, acting both on volume and the depth of wrinkles.
Visible and measured results from 4 weeks
Beyond the pretty marketing speeches, Yves Rocher advances specific figures. And they are rather convincing.
According to a clinical study on 23 cases, the depth of wrinkles is reduced until –20 % in 28 days. And on the feeling side, the assessment is just as flattering: 82 % of women find their skin smooth, 77 % firmer, after a month of use morning and evening.
Another detail that counts: +15 % skin tone from the first application, objectively measured. You apply it, you feel it acts. And this feeling is confirmed by the figures.
It is rare that care assumes its data as much, especially in this price range.
Sensory texture and reassuring composition
On the comfort of use, no complaints. The cream is creamy without being oily, and penetrates quickly without leaving a film. It is used morning and evening on the face, neck and neckline.
And what you don’t see on your skin, you will see it in the Inci: 97 % of ingredients of natural origin, no endocrine disruptor, no controversial component according to the analyzes of Que Choisir. We find in particular shea butter, macadamia oil, plant squalane, or even extracts from chamomile and ajuga reptans.
All in a recyclable glass jar, with a sober but effective design. And without heady perfume: just a light vegetable note, which disappears at the application.
