Is L'Occitane Shea Ultra Rich Comforting Face Cream suitable for my skin type?

This cream is best suited to normal, dry, and very dry skin, including sensitive skin types. People with tightness, rough texture, or flakiness often benefit most. Combination skin may prefer to apply it mainly to drier areas, such as the cheeks, especially during colder months. Very oily or acne-prone skin may find the rich texture too heavy for regular full-face use.

What are the main ingredients and why do they matter?

The key ingredient is shea butter at 25%, which is naturally rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and karitene. These components help strengthen the skin barrier, reduce moisture loss, and improve softness. Humectants such as glycerin and sodium PCA help attract and retain water in the skin. Additional botanical oils, extracts, and vitamin E provide conditioning and antioxidant support.

How does this cream feel on the skin during daily use?

The texture is creamy and ultra-rich but spreads easily and absorbs well for a nourishing formula. After application, skin feels cushioned, smoother, and more comfortable without a greasy residue. Many people enjoy using it in cold weather or after exposure to drying conditions. The light, fresh scent offers a gentle sensory experience during application.

Can I use it with serums, treatments, or makeup?

This cream layers well over hydrating serums and gentle treatments aimed at dryness or sensitivity. It helps seal in moisture while creating a smoother base for the next steps in a routine. During the day, it can be applied before sunscreen and makeup. Its non-greasy finish allows foundation to sit more evenly, especially on dry areas.

Apply the cream to your face, beginning at the centre of your face—apply the moisturiser using gentle, upward and outward strokes toward your forehead. Extend the application downward to cover the neck and décolleté area with smooth, upward motions.
