Cream LibreDerm with hyaluronic acid
When it comes to such a substance as hyaluronic acid, do not be mistaken, believing that this component is an acid in the usual sense of the word. In fact, it is a powerful humectant, also called a moisture-retaining ingredient, which makes the skin firm, youthful and hydrated.
Hyaluronic acid is a natural carbohydrate in the human body. It is present in large quantities in the spaces between the cells of the epidermis, where it provides moisture, providing turgor and skin elasticity.
The skin of a child always looks delightfully soft and supple, the reason for this is that children are born with a high content of hyaluronic acid in the skin, which keeps it plump and smooth. Unfortunately, over time, our body produces less and less of it. Especially noticeable is the decrease in its amount in the skin with age, especially after 40 years, which is why the epidermis needs additional moisture.
Currently, skin care products containing this component are very popular. One of these products is the latest Russian cream LibreDerm with hyaluronic acid, which is a completely domestic development.
Peculiarities
According to the manufacturer, this cream is distinguished by such features as:
- Can be used on various skin typesfrom dry to oily. Such versatility will especially please the owners of combination skin, who usually have to use two skin care products at the same time.
- Suitable for people with sensitive skinprone to redness, irritation and inflammation.
- Can be used simultaneously to care for thin and delicate skin on areas near the eyes, thereby replacing a specialized cream for these unique facial fragments.
- Recommended for neck care and neckline.
- Versatile, can be used as a night cream, but at the same time it works well as a day cream for skin care and as a base for make-up.
- Effective when used by women and girls of different agesstarting from 18 years and older.
Summarizing these statements, we can conclude that this cosmetic product has a multifunctional and impressive spectrum of effects.
Beneficial features
Cream LibreDerm with hyaluronic acid has been on sale for a long time, so you can find a sufficient number of reviews telling about its properties.
Most customers write that they are satisfied with the consistency and absorbency of this cream. They note that it has a light texture that does not leave an oily sheen after application, mattifies and hides irregularities, but does not create a film or mask effect.
Approximately 15 minutes after application, the smoothness and elasticity of the skin increases, its tone improves and the face acquires a fresher look.
It is completely absorbed in about 15 minutes, removing the feeling of dryness on the face, which confirms its moisturizing effect.It copes especially well with skin that is overdried by the southern hot sun, as often happens after a vacation.
All customers like the presence of a dispenser on the bottle, it allows you to use the contents sparingly, but still, the consumption of the cream seems to be too fast for many, especially when it is used for the neck and décolleté.
There is a smoothing of small mimic wrinkles on the forehead and under the eyes. However, this occurs in relatively young girls, in whom wrinkles are just beginning to appear.
The smell is neutral, almost imperceptible on the skin, with a barely noticeable mild aroma.
The unpleasant properties include the fact that, judging by the reviews, after a couple of weeks of use in owners of oily skin, it can cause the appearance of black dots and even pimples, which they directly associate with the increased comedonity of some components of this remedy.
Compound
The packaging of any cosmetic product indicates its composition, sometimes it is written exclusively in English or Latin. However, in the case of LibreDerm cream, which is produced exclusively in Russia, some of the components are indicated in Russian, which makes it easier for the consumer to understand.
According to international standards, the ingredients are listed in descending order, starting with the component that makes up the largest percentage.
Therefore, it is not surprising that in the first place in the list of ingredients of LibreDerm cream is such a component as demineralized water. The term "demineralized" means that the water that is part of the cream is purified from all salts, which makes it very soft. Typically, this water quality is used in the creation of pharmaceuticals.
The next item is camelina oil. The first association that arises with the name of this oil is associated with mushrooms - mushrooms. But this is absolutely not true. Camelina, from the seeds of which oil is obtained, is a cruciferous plant that grows in eastern Europe, Siberia and Southeast Asia; another name for camelina oil: "German sesame" or "sesame".
Camelina oil has a high percentage of fatty polyunsaturated acids (more than 60%); minerals such as magnesium; and phytosterols. The properties inherent in this product, wound healing, antibacterial and antitumor, are fully transferred to the means in which it is present.
The presence of camelina oil in the second position among the ingredients of the cream indicates its high percentage.
A drug called "Sensiderm V", which is in third place, is an emollient complex developed by the Russian research and production company Teresa-Inter. An emollient is a medicinal substance that creates a film on the surface of the skin and, thereby, does not allow the evaporation of moisture and keeps it in the upper layers of the epidermis.
If you look in more detail, then the composition of the complex "Sensiderm B"includes synthetic and natural thickeners (cetearyl octanoate and capric-caprylic triglycerides), alcohol (isopropyl myristate) and directly mineral oil added to cosmetics in order to prevent oxidative processes.
The substance in the next position is absorbent and thickenerwidely used in the production of children's goods (sodium polyacrylate).
Dimethicone is a silicone of synthetic origin, widely used in cosmetology in order to improve gliding, but it can both “clog” pores and cause allergies.
Phenoxyethanol is an antiseptic, preventing the cream from spoiling, ethylhexylglycerin is a stabilizer and preservative. Both of them are widely used in cosmetic preparations of well-known foreign companies.
The smallest amount, judging by the location in the list of ingredients, in the composition of the cream is taken directly by itself hyaluronic acid. It is difficult to judge exactly what volumetric amount this component should occupy in the composition, especially since this is also found in some popular European brands. For example, on the packaging of the famous Lancome "Visionnaire Creme Multi-Correctrice Fondamentale" face cream, hyaluronic acid is not indicated at all in the composition, it is only mentioned in the annotation.
The website of the manufacturer LibreDerm reports that the cream contains hyaluronic acid in the form of three different fractions:
- High molecular weight Hyaluronic acid works on the surface of the skin, its rather large molecules are not able to penetrate deep into the epidermis.
They form a thin elusive film, which is an additional barrier to the evaporation of moisture from the skin, increasing the water content in it and increasing the absorption of other components of the cream into the skin;
- Medium and low molecular weight variants hyaluronic acid created by the process of splitting standard molecules. Such an acid penetrates the skin and begins to attract water from the capillaries, saturating the cells deep inside the skin with it. It is this effect that explains the increase in elasticity, tone of the skin of the face and rejuvenation.
Advantages and disadvantages
At the first acquaintance with this cream, customers pay attention to the packaging and design of the bottle. Everyone, without exception, likes the appearance of the bottle, its noble and attractive design. The fact that the LibreDerm cream is equipped with a dispenser is a definite plus, thanks to which dust does not get inside the bottle, the composition does not oxidize and retains its properties longer. The inscription on compliance with the requirements of GOST refers specifically to the design of the bottle, as stated on the official website of the manufacturer.
The consistency of the cream is also noted as its undoubted advantage: the product is not heavy, resembles a gel, it is absorbed equally quickly on dry skin of the cheeks in the T-zone, which for many is characterized by excessive fat content.
You do not have to wait long for the cream to be completely absorbed, which is especially convenient when using it as a make-up base. Moisturizing, which can be felt after application to the skin, affects the disappearance of the feeling of tightness and the absence of peeling on the surface of the skin.
During use, there is a decrease in redness on the skin, which at the same time becomes smoother and more even. Small wrinkles are indistinguishable on the face.
The cream smells almost nothing, the maximum is a gentle, barely perceptible smell of baby soap. It does not contain dyes and perfume fragrances.
The disadvantages include reports of the low effectiveness of this cream for use in the winter season. Many customers talk about this, emphasizing that in summer the cream does an excellent job of moisturizing.The explanation for this fact is quite trivial: the cream contains water molecules that simply freeze at a cold temperature, which is why it is not recommended to use it as a winter makeup product.
Also a minus can be called the fact that there is no cumulative effect.
After refusing to use this product, the skin quickly loses its acquired gloss, although such a remark can be addressed to the manufacturers of almost every cream with hyaluronic acid.
As soon as they are no longer used, the skin returns to its original state. The reason for this action lies in the nature of the active substance itself: the hyaluronic molecule. Brought in from the outside, it is able to exist in the depths of the epidermis for only two days, then it dissolves under the influence of phagocyte cells.
The disadvantages include the absence in the LibreDerm cream of components that are SPF filters and can protect the skin from the harmful effects of sunlight.

Application rules
Cream for face, neck and décolleté, according to the inscription on the package, is applied to dry, pre-cleansed skin. It is used both as a care product and as a base for make-up. When applying make-up afterwards, it is necessary to allow the cream to fully absorb, but this usually does not take long.
When applied before bed, beauticians advise doing this at least 30 minutes before going to bed, because otherwise it is possible to get a slightly swollen face in the morning.
Taking into account consumer feedback, it is advisable to advise applying the product to slightly moistened skin, this will contribute to its more economical distribution.
Reviews
Cosmetic products of the brand, especially creams for the face and skin around the eyes with hyaluronic acid, are of great interest to customers of all ages, as well as cosmetologists and doctors.
In many ways, this is facilitated by reviews of consumers who have tested the effect of this cream on their skin. This tool has been on the market for more than a year, this time is enough for it to be tested by a significant number of picky and thinking women who are used to monitoring the condition of their skin.
It should be noted that it is this cream that has the largest number of responses, and almost every one confirms the effectiveness of its use as a moisturizer.
Buyers note that the manufacturer of the cream does not make any particularly tempting promises, for example, does not guarantee a noticeable smoothing of wrinkles. But the fact that the skin will change for the better and will feel hydrated and more toned, advertising does not deceive.
It is worth highlighting the following opinions:
- This cream is considered minimal in terms of the presence of chemical components compared to similar products that do not contain any dyes and perfume compositions;
- When applied around the eyes, it does not cause irritation of the mucous membrane, which often happens with other face creams;
- The result is visible in the mirror, others also note positive changes;
- Suitable for both young and old, it can be called a godsend for skin of any age, it is used by both young girls at the age of 25 and their mothers, who are much older;
- When used as a make-up base, pores do not clog, make-up is easier to wash off in the evening;
- If used regularly, the skin actually feels better.
There are a certain number of girls who are disappointed with this cream, their opinions boil down to the following:
- The skin still lacked moisture, after a short time the girls want to apply something else;
- Can only moisturize the skin, but no more;
- Not enough hyaluronic acid itself;
- Dries the skin around the lips, rashes and irritation appear after use.
An interesting fact is that in the comments to such dissatisfied reviews, whole disputes arise, and many immediately talk about their successful experience in using this tool.
It is worth saying that there are few unsatisfactory reviews, in general, customers give a positive assessment to the LibreDerm cream with hyaluronic acid, and recommend it for use, noting that every woman herself should try its action, for comparison and understanding.
The medical community is ambivalent about this development of Russian scientists, recognizing that there are cases of allergic reactions to this cream, but they are within the normal range and relate to individual intolerance to the components. To avoid this, cosmetologists recommend testing the probe before buying.
There are disputes over the amount of the most effective of the components of the drug, hyaluronic acid, which is listed last on the list. Since the manufacturer does not provide additional information on its content anywhere, there are doubts that it is in this cream in the concentrations necessary for therapeutic effects.
Cosmetologists also comment on the lack of information provided regarding the features of the molecular structure of hyaluronic acid, which is part of the drug, in particular, the size of the molecules, which determines the degree of penetration of low molecular weight HA into the deep layers of the epidermis, is not indicated.
Doubts are also expressed about the price of the cream, which is significantly lower than its foreign counterparts. This is due to the fact that the production of low molecular weight hyaluronic acid requires significant capacities, and this is a very costly process.Therefore, pharmacologists and cosmetologists are perplexed how the manufacturer of LibreDerm cream manages to keep the price of its product at such a low level, which contains such an expensive component as low molecular weight hyaluronic acid. For comparison, similar products of well-known European brands are several times more expensive.
Buyers are quite satisfied with the price: they believe that the ratio of price and quality in this case can be called successful.
Regarding the comparison with the prices of similar creams from foreign manufacturers, it is noted that for the Russian consumer this is significant money, which not every woman can spend on a cream.
Separately, in the reviews, attention is paid to the exceptionally successful and attractive packaging design, the presence of a well-functioning dispenser and the ability to remove it from the bottle in order to extract the remaining cream.
Causes confidence in the quality of the product and the fact that this cream is sold exclusively in pharmacies, in compliance with all conditions of storage and transportation.
