Minéral 89 72H Moisture Boosting Cream

Minéral 89 72H Moisture Boosting Cream by Vichy is formulated for all, normal, combination, dry, sensitive skin. Vichy's Minéral 89 line moves into a moisturizer slot — a gel-cream built around the brand's volcanic mineralizing thermal water with 0.15% sodium hyaluronate, 2.2% niacinamide + tocopherol (the marketed "Vitamins B3 + E"), 2% squalane, plus a small dose of adenosine. The hydration data is the headline — Vichy clinical claims 72-hour moisture retention after a single application, in line with the high glycerin (#2) and squalane (#11) emollient load. The niacinamide-at-#6 placement is meaningful: that's a working concentration, not a label-flash, and it does double duty on barrier support and tone-evening alongside the line's signature volcanic water. Texture is the bouncy, almost pudding-like gel-cream Korean derm-cosmetic moisturizers normalized — sinks in fast, plays under makeup, doesn't pill under sunscreen. The downside is the fragrance at the end of the deck, which keeps it from clearing the strictest sensitivity gate (the brand sells a "Fragrance-Free Cream" sibling for that cohort). Otherwise: a solidly engineered drugstore-tier daily moisturizer that earns its hero-product status in the Vichy lineup.

The key active ingredients in Minéral 89 72H Moisture Boosting Cream are Adenosine, Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, Squalane. It's known for: 0.15% HA + 2.2% niacinamide + 2% squalane delivers a working active load, not a label-flash trio and 72-hour hydration claim tracks with the glycerin + squalane + jojoba esters emollient stack.

Yes, Minéral 89 72H Moisture Boosting Cream targets dryness, dullness, fine lines. 0.15% HA + 2.2% niacinamide + 2% squalane delivers a working active load, not a label-flash trio

The main drawbacks to be aware of: Fragrance at the end of the deck disqualifies it for the strictest sensitivity tier — pick the Fragrance-Free version instead; Capryloyl salicylic acid trace amount is worth flagging for true salicylate intolerance; Gel-cream lipid load is light — very dry winter skin will want a richer occlusive over the top.
