   I have it in 200 mil pump packaging and I have already repurchased it twice.It’s priced 4.5USD here which is very reasonable for 200mil. it can be used for face and body, adults,children and even babies so it’s a good choice for being family moisturizer.it’s fragrance-free,paraben free and hypoallergenic(it also has a scented version but that’s not available in my country).I have always taught that Mineral Oil can clog my pores but eventhough it’s on top of the ingredients list,this cream never caused acne,breakouts or clogged pores,it also never caused any irritation or allergic reaction eventhough I have an almost reactive,sensitive skin.It’s written on it that it’s suitable for normal to dry sensitive skin,and it claims to repair,soothe and protect skin.it says that it boosts skin’s production of Hyaluronice Acid,also has lipid replenishing action and strengthens skin barrier
   Usually moisturizers with the word “nourishing” in their name,have a rich and thick texture but not this one,it’s not watery either.I’d better say it’s like a rich lotion,it’s not weightless,but isn’t really heavy either.if you have really dry skin,you’d better go with Bioderm’s Atoderm Nutritive cream which comes in 40mil tube and is for dry to very dry skin.yes,their names seem to be confusing,it’s written on all of them that they’re for dry skin but they differ a lot.if you want to remember what’s what: there’s a blue circle on this lines tube.if you see:
   “Atoderm Creme” is written in that blue circle,it’s the one we’re reviewing in this page.It’s texture is like a rich lotion not as heavy as a rich cream and is better for normal to slightly dry skin,both face and body,all ages
   if you see “Atoderm Nutritive” in that circle,it’s the one for very dry skin and has a rich and heavy texture,it’s for face,just for adults
   If you see “Atoderm Lait” in that circle,it’s a moisturizing milk,it’s very light weight and is better for combination to normal skin types and has a mild scent
   If you see “Atoderm Intensive Baume” in the blue circle,it’s for veryy dry,irtitated,atopic skin and a good choice for face and body of all family members who suffer from Eczema and itchy skin

   Ok,let’s continue with the review of this product:
   I usually have dry skin and this is my summer moisturizer or I use it whenever my skin isn’t too dry and I don’t suffer from Eczema.I took this one for guaranted as it’s reasonably priced and is available in every pharmacy here.but after trying several more expensive moisturizers I came back to my Atoderm Creme.it really does what I expect from a moisturizer for normal,very slightly dry skin.it moisturizes without breaking me out,without feeling sticky and heavy,without irritating my skin.It’s moisturizing effect doesn’t last the whole day and I have to use it at least twice a day.I usually apply it on moisten skin as it suggests in Bioderma website or mix it with face oils when my skin is more dry than usual
   One of the best things about it is it’s packaging.I LOVE it’s pump packaging.It’s very easy to use and very travel friendly.there’s a plastic lock that prevents contents of it to be in contact with air,also prevents it’s pump from being pushed down in my bag.It’s also a very good makeup base
   Right now I’m trying different products of La Roche Posay but I know I will always have a Atoderm Creme somewhere in my drawer

   OK first of all, be aware Bioderma has a long list of products and under the same name of one line (like Atoderm in this case) they have different products AND slightly different second version of one product. Like the product I’m reviewing right now comes in both a tube without fragrance, and in a pump bottle with fragrance. The one I have is the fragrance-free, tube version for Normal to Dry sensitive skin. And I have mixed feelings about it.

   Compare to the price the quality is fine. The main ingredient is paraffinum but the texture is still more like lotion than cream, more liquidy. It is said for suitable both for body and face. I love that it’s fragrance-free, paraben-free, and has an expiration date written on the tube. Especially considering 200ml is pretty big, the price is cheap. It didn’t cause any irritation for me.

   However, it’s average at moisturizing on the face. The product says “for Normal to Dry” skin but I don’t think it would be enough for dry skin. Some paraffinum creams and lotions make my skin get softer but some others make my skin feel DRIER than normal couple hours after I put it on and that’s exactly what this lotion did on my face. I only put it on the left side of my face, nothing on the right side, and 5 hours later the right side of my face feels softer than the left. Its performance is definitely better on the body. Personally I’ll only use on the body.
