Lancome hydra zen moisturising aqua gel fresh






Claims: Lancôme HYDRA ZEN NEOCALM Multi-Relief Anti-Stress Moisturizing Aqua GelFresh is an intense moisturizer for your skin to combat against environmental stressors and ease your mind. Instantly soothe and calm your skin while surging it with ample moisture, keeping it moist and supple.

The main hydrating ingredients are glycerin and a variety of plan extracts,but if wan to compare the concentration with other formulation ingredients(propylene glycol,alcohol denat ,butylene glycol …)the plant extracts are negligible.
Although it is a product designed for sensitive skin,lancome still use a high amount of alcohol denat in this product.(fourth in the list)In addition,phenoxyethanol(preservative) is too much,long term usage may aggravate sensitive skin.Propylene glycol(PG) can clog pore,I don`t understand why lancome don`t just use butylene glycol  to replace the PG.

This is a very fresh gel toner/lotion with a light rose smell.The smell provides a calming effect after a hectic day.After application my skin is visble more hydrated ,soothen and plump up.
Pros:hydrate,soothen and plump up the skin
Cons:alcohol denat and preservative
Apply on properly cleaned skin ,before essence and moisturizer.You can apply directly on the skin by using  bare hand or on a piece of cotton.Sometime I soak this toner in a few pieces of cotton pad and use it as a hydrating mask,the result will be far more noticeable .=)
Available in all lancome counters ,RM 150 for 200 ml.
