Bioderma Hydrabio Gel Creme

Lightweight Gel-Cream Moisturiser for Dehydrated Sensitive Skin with the Aquagenium Complex

Bioderma Hydrabio Gel-Crème is a daily gel-cream moisturiser for dehydrated, normal to combination sensitive skin. It is built around the brand's patented Aquagenium complex, in which Pyrus Malus (Apple) Seed Extract stimulates the expression of aquaporins — the natural water channels in the skin — so the skin is retrained to retain water on its own. Niacinamide (Vitamin PP) reinforces the skin's resistance, while Tocopheryl Acetate and Tocopherol (Vitamin E) provide antioxidant protection against oxidative stress. A small amount of Salicylic Acid gently smooths the surface for a more even, radiant finish, and humectants — Glycerin, Mannitol, Xylitol and Rhamnose — round out the hydration. The texture is light and fast-absorbing, designed to layer cleanly under sunscreen or makeup.

Why Choose It?

• Aquagenium complex with Pyrus Malus (Apple) Seed Extract — stimulates aquaporin expression so the skin retains water on its own
• Niacinamide (Vitamin PP) supports the skin's resistance and impermeability
• Tocopheryl Acetate and Tocopherol (Vitamin E) act as antioxidants against oxidative stress
• Low-level Salicylic Acid gently smooths the surface for a more even, radiant finish
• Lightweight gel-cream texture — fast-absorbing, non-greasy, suitable as a daily moisturiser and makeup base

Best For

Dehydrated, normal to combination skin — including sensitive skin — that wants a light, fast-absorbing gel-cream rather than a rich occlusive moisturiser. The non-greasy finish layers cleanly under sunscreen or makeup, which makes it well suited as a daily morning moisturiser as well as an evening hydration step.

Use morning and evening as the moisturiser step on cleansed skin. For a fuller Hydrabio routine, layer it over the brand's Bioderma Hydrabio hydrating serum for dehydrated skin applied first.

• Cleanse the face and pat the skin slightly damp.
• Apply a hydrating serum first if you use one, then dispense a small amount of the gel-cream onto the fingertips.
• Warm between the fingers and smooth over the face and neck until fully absorbed.
• Follow with sunscreen in the morning; no additional occlusive is needed at night for most skin types.
• The non-greasy finish doubles as a makeup base — wait a moment for full absorption before applying foundation.

Tips

• Use as the daily moisturiser step rather than as a heavy night cream — the texture is built to be light.
• Pair with the same-line Hydrabio serum for a more concentrated hydration routine on dehydrated skin.
• Patch test on the inner forearm before first full-face use if the skin is reactive or new actives are being introduced.
