Dermatological skincare brand Uriage has unveiled its latest breakthrough, the CICA DAILY Repairing Cream Concentrate, and it couldn’t have come at a better time as far as I am concerned! This product, a standout in the CICA DAILY range, is not just an advanced solution for skin hydration, repair, and regeneration but also marks a significant milestone as Uriage’s first-ever refillable product!
As more of us seek effective ways to repair a weakened skin barrier, Uriage’s new launch promises to be a game-changer in both skincare and sustainability.
A Revolutionary Formula For Skin Barrier Repair
For those of you new to skincare, the skin barrier is the body’s first line of defence against external aggressors such as pollution, UV exposure, and daily stressors. When the barrier is compromised, the skin becomes more susceptible to dryness, irritation, and environmental damage (think eczema, breakouts, hives etc).
As a person whose job it is to constantly try new products and treatments, my skin barrier has been through a lot. I had only recently managed to get it to a healthy state with the help of Plinest, only to mess it up again testing a new treatment.
This is why I was so happy when Uriage launched their CICA DAILY Repairing Cream Concentrate, just a few days before I messed up my skin. Since then, I have been diligently using it twice a day on my inflamed and itchy skin to calm the redness and irritation, and trust me when I say that this product rocks, and will be replacing my usual daily moisturiser moving forward.
The CICA DAILY Repairing Cream Concentrate works by addressing skin inflammation and irritation with its powerful “bandage” effect, repairing the skin on three essential levels: physical, immune, and microbiological.
This triple barrier repair technology is made possible through Uriage’s unique Thermal-Biotic Complex, which includes a 10.5% concentration of Uriage Thermal Water and Inulin, a prebiotic that supports the skin’s microbiome. Combined with Centella Asiatica, Hyaluronic Acid, and Vitamin B5, this formulation promotes comprehensive skin restoration.
Put simply, the cream works to repair the damage caused by everyday aggressors while simultaneously soothing, hydrating, and strengthening the skin.
One of the product’s standout features is its immediate effectiveness. After just one application, I experienced instant relief from the itchiness, saw visible improvements in my skin’s texture, and radiance.
The Uriage CICA DAILY Repairing Cream Concentrate left my skin balanced, even-toned, and visibly healthier, making it a must-have for those struggling with weakened or damaged skin like myself, or simply want a good, fragrance-free moisturiser that won’t burn a hole in your wallet, but will still work miracles on your skin.
The Power Of Key Ingredients
The Uriage CICA DAILY Repairing Cream Concentrate harnesses the power of natural ingredients to deliver exceptional results. Some of the key ingredients include:
- Centella Asiatica: Known for its wound-healing properties, Centella Asiatica helps to regenerate the skin and reduce inflammation. It is particularly effective in repairing damaged skin and reinforcing the skin barrier.
- Hyaluronic Acid: A superstar in skin care, Hyaluronic Acid is renowned for its ability to attract and retain moisture, providing deep hydration to the skin. It plumps and smooths the skin, improving texture and elasticity.
- Vitamin B5 (Panthenol): This essential vitamin soothes and moisturizes the skin while supporting skin regeneration. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that help calm irritated skin.
- Uriage Thermal Water: Sourced from the French Alps, Uriage Thermal Water is rich in minerals and has been clinically proven to strengthen the skin barrier and enhance its natural defences. Its high concentration in the formula makes it ideal for repairing weakened skin.
In addition to these ingredients, the formula is enriched with ceramides derived from safflower, essential for optimal skin health and barrier repair. Ceramides help lock in moisture, further strengthening the skin’s barrier function and preventing water loss. So if you are looking for a barrier repair cream, always, and I mean always look for one with ceramides.
Fragrance-Free And Natural Ingredients For Gentle Care
Crafted with a commitment to natural skincare, the Uriage CICA DAILY Repairing Cream Concentrate is made with 96% natural ingredients and is entirely fragrance-free. This makes it gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin types.
The absence of synthetic fragrances and harsh chemicals ensures that the cream delivers its benefits without causing irritation or discomfort, making it suitable for daily use, both morning and evening.
The cream’s velvety texture creates a cocooning sensation upon application, leaving the skin feeling nourished and protected. Whether used as a standalone product or integrated into a broader skincare routine, the Uriage CICA DAILY Repairing Cream Concentrate provides long-lasting hydration and comfort.
Post-Procedure Care And Daily Defense
In addition to its barrier-repairing capabilities, the Uriage CICA DAILY Repairing Cream Concentrate is also highly effective as a post-cosmetic procedure treatment. Procedures such as chemical peels, laser treatments, and microdermabrasion can leave the skin vulnerable and in need of extra care. This cream helps reinforce the skin’s resilience against external aggressors, supporting recovery and maintaining the skin’s natural glow.
Its versatile application makes it an excellent choice for everyday skincare, whether you are dealing with environmental stressors or looking to enhance your skin’s natural defences. With regular use, the cream strengthens the skin barrier, improves texture, and promotes an even, radiant complexion.
Commitment To Sustainability: Refillable Packaging
As consumer demand for sustainable skincare grows, Uriage has risen to the challenge by offering the CICA DAILY Repairing Cream Concentrate in a refillable format. This move reduces plastic waste by 94%, reflecting Uriage’s dedication to minimizing its environmental impact without compromising the efficacy of its products.
Sharon Teo, Brand Manager of Uriage Singapore, expressed her excitement about the launch, stating, “We are thrilled to introduce the CICA DAILY Repairing Cream Concentrate, a groundbreaking solution designed to tackle one of the most critical concerns in skincare today – the weakened skin barrier. This launch marks a significant step forward in our mission to deliver effective skincare that strengthens and protects the skin. We’re especially proud to offer this product in a refillable format, aligning with our commitment to sustainability while ensuring our customers have access to high-performance skincare they can trust.”
