In winter, the skin tends to feel tight and more fragile and dry. This new treatment from Uriage is perfect for strengthening the skin barrier and fighting the cold.
The epidermis, also called “skin barrier”, is the superficial layer of the skin which protects it from external aggressions and drying out. In winter, the skin barrier is subject to numerous attacks, such as wind, cold or rain, which alter its functions. Its microbiome becomes unbalanced, its hydrolipidic film diminishes. The results : a duller complexion, imperfections, redness, feelings of tightness but also fine lines and in the long term an acceleration of skin aging.
To address this issue, the Uriage brand is launching a new treatment at the start of 2024: Cica Daily Repair Cream Concentrate. A “dressing effect” cream ideal for protecting the skin from the cold and strengthening its skin barrier. Formula, effects, application, price, we tell you everything about this perfect product for winter.

An ideal cream to strengthen the skin barrier in winter
At the heart of the formula of this treatment we find: Uriage thermal water, perfect for soothing, hydrating and protecting the skin from external aggressions, healing and repairing centella asiatica, hydrating and plumping low and high molecular weight hyaluronic acid as well as soothing and healing vitamin B5. Little extra: this treatment also contains inulin, a prebiotic extracted from chicory and agave root which promotes the development of good bacteria in the skin microbiome.
In terms of texture, this treatment is very enveloping but with a non-greasy velvet finish, ideal for very dry skin. It can be used daily, particularly in winter, but also more occasionally after hair removal or the day after a party when the skin is a little more sensitive. The tip: apply it in a thicker layer in the evening, to a night mask effectand even more extensive restorative action.
