Biotherm Aquasource Cica Nutri Cream 50ml

Biotherm Aquasource Cica Nutri Cream 50ml is a daily moisturiser for dry, sensitive skin from Biotherm's Aquasource line — the brand's signature hydration franchise. The rich-but-melting cream is built around two hero ingredients: Life Plankton™ probiotic extract for soothed, comfortable skin, and Centella Asiatica (cica) for visibly calmed, glowing skin. The formula is 86% of natural origin and is designed to deliver up to 48 hours of hydration in a single application.

About Biotherm

Biotherm is a premium skincare house founded in France in 1952 and now part of L'Oréal Luxe. The brand's identity is built around Life Plankton™, a probiotic-rich thermal micro-organism extract first discovered in a thermal spring in the French Pyrenees. The Aquasource range is Biotherm's flagship hydration franchise, evolved over four decades and now reformulated around the probiotic-cica pairing.

Key ingredients

• Life Plankton™ probiotic extract: Biotherm's signature thermal-derived ingredient, used to support skin's barrier and comfort.
• Centella Asiatica (cica): A traditional botanical extract long associated with calming and helping skin look healthy and glowing.
• Shea butter (Butyrospermum Parkii): Rich, comforting plant butter for nourishment.
• Apricot kernel oil (Prunus Armeniaca): Light, conditioning oil for skin softness.
• Glycerin: A skin-identical humectant that helps draw and hold water in the upper layers.

Key benefits

• 48-hour hydration: Sustained moisture release to keep skin feeling comfortable through the day and overnight.
• Soothes and calms: Cica- and probiotic-led formula aimed at sensitive or temporarily reactive skin.
• Nourishing texture: Richer than the original Aquasource gel — better suited to dry skin, particularly in cold or dry climates.
• 86% natural origin: Reformulated with a higher proportion of natural-origin ingredients.

Who it's for

Suited to dry to very dry skin types and to sensitive skin that benefits from a more comforting cream texture. Particularly useful in cold weather, after long-haul travel, or for skin recovering from active treatments such as retinoids or acid exfoliation. Less suited to oily or shine-prone skin, who may prefer the original Aquasource gel.

How to use

1. Cleanse and tone the face and neck.
2. Apply your usual serum and allow to absorb.
3. Warm a small amount of the cream between the fingertips and press evenly across the face and neck, morning and evening.
4. In the morning, follow with broad-spectrum SPF.
