Bought this gel cream on my honeymoon in Paris. Darphin Hydraskin Light Gel Cream was recommended by the lady pharmacist. I had asked her for a good moisturizer for combination skin.
On the packaging, it mentions that "this all-day skin-hydrating cream gel is designed for normal to combination skin." This gel cream has Hydra-Structure Technology, a high performing hydrating complex of powerful ingredients such as Butterfly Lavender and Salicornia Herbacea that wakens the skin's moisture mechanism. It helps defend skin's moisture reservoir.
Darphin Hydraskin Light Gel Cream comes in a 30 ml and 50 ml packaging. The 50 ml retails for US$62 (S$82). The 50 ml packaging will lasts me for 3-4 months. It is one of the most expensive moisturizers that I have ever bought. The glass packaging is rather heavy and not the most convenient for traveling. Since it comes in a tub packaging, you have to dip your finger into the product. In terms of hygiene, the tub packaging is not ideal. I prefer pump packaging or squeezable packaging for my skincare product. Though the tub packaging allows for no product to be wasted.
The light green gel cream
For those living in humid countries such as Singapore, this cream might be too heavy for your liking. My skin does feel a bit tacky after application, it takes a while (5-10 minutes) for the cream to be fully absorbed. Overall, it is a good moisturizer but I would not repurchase because of the exorbitant price. I would instead use that money to purchase 3 bottles of Embryolise Lait Creme Concentre.
