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