When should you choose this panthenol cream for hypersensitive skin?
SVR Sensifine Hydra-Crème Soothing Moisturizer is a facial cream formulated for hypersensitive, intolerant, and allergic skin. It is part of the line of products for sensitive skin, featuring a fragrance-free formula with just ten ingredients, centered around 5% panthenol. Its purified water base quenches the skin’s thirst; grape seed and sunflower seed oils form a protective barrier on the skin’s surface.
Panthenol, or provitamin B5, is the key active ingredient in the formula: at this concentration, it soothes and intensely hydrates skin that feels tight and has difficulty tolerating regular skincare products. Hexyldecyl stearate, an emollient, rounds out the formula, providing hydration and comfort without leaving the face feeling heavy.
With continued use, the skin regains its softness and suppleness. In a self-assessment test conducted on 20 volunteers who applied it morning and night for 28 days, 95% felt their skin was more nourished and hydrated; 90% found that feelings of tightness and tingling were reduced.
This treatment is ideal when the skin reacts to almost anything: seasonal changes, a poorly tolerated cosmetic product, or a routine stripped down to the essentials. Its creamy, non-greasy, non-sticky texture blends seamlessly under makeup. The formula is non-comedogenic. It is also suitable for pregnant and breastfeeding women.
Preparing hypersensitive skin begins with makeup removal. For this, we recommend the fragrance-free SVR Sensifine Makeup Remover Balm, which dissolves makeup without rubbing: the skin is ready for treatment without having been irritated by the process; the cream then simply hydrates it.

- A hypoallergenic formula reduces the risk of a reaction but does not eliminate it. Do not use if you have a known allergy to any of the ingredients, including grape seed oil, sunflower oil, panthenol, or tocopherol.
- For very sensitive skin, first apply a small amount to a limited area, such as behind the ear, then wait 48 hours before applying it to the entire face.

- Discontinue use if redness, swelling, a rash, or a tingling sensation persists; consult a pharmacist or doctor.
- This product does not treat a skin condition. Persistent redness, visible small blood vessels, flaky patches, itching, or inflamed pimples may be signs of rosacea, eczema, or seborrheic dermatitis: these symptoms should be examined by a doctor or dermatologist.

Our expert advice on Sensifine Hydra-Cream for sensitive skin
Skin that reacts to everything often reacts first to the buildup of products: serum, eye cream, exfoliator, scented micellar water, and moisturizer. Before concluding that a product isn’t suitable, we recommend simplifying your routine to three steps (makeup removal, cleansing, moisturizing) and then introducing only one new product at a time. This is the only way to determine which product is causing the issue when your skin reacts.
Then evaluate this cream based on a few weeks of regular use, not on one difficult morning. If the discomfort returns every day despite a simplified routine, or if your skin remains noticeably dry, the issue is no longer the cream itself: talk to your pharmacist, who will recommend a richer texture or refer you to a healthcare professional.
FAQ
What’s the difference between SVR Sensifine Hydra-Crème Soothing Moisturizer 40 ml and SVR Sensifine Nutri Baume Soothing Nourishing Balm 40 ml?
Both products are designed for hypersensitive skin. SVR Sensifine Hydra-Crème is a lightweight cream focused on hydration, suitable for skin that feels tight without being very dry. SVR Sensifine Nutri Baume Soothing Nourishing Balm 40 ml is a richer shea butter balm designed for dry to very dry skin.
Can I use SVR Sensifine Hydra-Crème if my skin has redness?
SVR Sensifine Hydra-Crème is a moisturizer: it contains neither corrective pigments nor active ingredients specifically designed to address the appearance of redness. For skin prone to redness, the line offers SVR Sensifine AR Anti-Redness Cream 40 ml, whose gel-cream texture is tinted with green pigments.
Why has the ingredient list for SVR Sensifine Hydra-Cream changed?
SVR has reformulated this product. The previous formula combined avocado oil and squalane, which have been replaced in the new formula by grapeseed oil and sunflower seed oil combined with an emollient. The instructions for use remain the same.
