My honest review of Bioderma Atoderm Cream, purchased with my own money

In dry weather like this, no matter how many steps I apply to my skincare routine, my face feels tight and itchy by the afternoon. So, I ended up buying Bioderma Atoderm Cream myself, solely for its moisturizing power. Since I bought it with my own money during a sale—not as part of a trial group—I started using it with half expectation and half skepticism. My skin type is on the dry side, and my cheeks and chin are particularly sensitive and prone to tightness.

Honestly, at first I was worried that it might be too heavy and sticky since it's a pharmacy cream, but the texture was better than I expected. Although it is thick, it spreads smoothly when applied with your hands, and it feels like it adheres to the skin without feeling greasy. It also has almost no scent, which was my favorite part as someone who dislikes artificial smells.

After using it for a few days, I definitely noticed that the tightness deep within my skin has decreased. When I applied it right after washing my face, I felt my skin calm down immediately without any stinging or burning sensation, and my face didn't feel tight when I woke up in the morning. It doesn't cause any pilling even when applied before makeup, so these days I always make sure to finish my routine with this.

I have been using this for over two weeks without any breakouts, and it suits me well. It is a cream I reach for even on days when my skin feels sensitive. Honestly, the packaging isn't pretty, but I felt it is worth the price for the moisturizing effect alone. I intend to repurchase it, and if you have dry and sensitive skin, I recommend stocking up on a jar of Bioderma Atoderm Cream instead of going out of your way to buy an expensive cream.
