When should you use Respire Moisturizing Barrier Gel Cream?
Does your skin feel tight yet look shiny? Respire Moisturizing Barrier Gel-Cream 50 ml is designed for normal, combination, and oily dehydrated skin. Its fresh, lightweight texture provides comfort with a mattifying finish—particularly pleasant when you’re looking for effective hydration without the richness of a thick cream.
Its formula provides 48 hours of hydration, as measured by corneometry on 10 volunteers. It combines hyaluronic acids of three complementary molecular weights to bind water and preserve the skin’s moisture. As a result, the skin regains suppleness and softness, with less tightness.
Encapsulated ceramides help strengthen the skin barrier. Think of the skin’s lipids as the mortar between the bricks in a wall: they help maintain the wall’s cohesion and limit water loss. Lipoves encapsulation technology supports the action of these ingredients to help the skin maintain its comfort over the long term.
This treatment complements its moisturizing and lipid-replenishing action with antioxidant benefits, thanks to Acetyl Zingerone. It thus supports skin exposed to external aggressors. Its mattifying effect also meets the needs of people whose faces tend to get shiny easily—especially in the T-zone—without neglecting areas that lack moisture.
Made in France, vegan, and composed of 97% naturally derived ingredients, this gel-cream is perfect for your daily skincare routine. Would you like to try another moisturizing formula for normal skin? We also offer La-Rosée Moisturizing Gel-Cream for Normal Skin, an alternative you can choose based on your preferences.
How do you use this moisturizing gel-cream?
Apply morning and night to clean, slightly damp skin after cleansing and, if you use one, after your serum. Gently spread the product over your face using soft, outward strokes. Use small circular motions on the forehead, then extend the application to the neck and décolletage.
In the evening, use it after removing makeup and cleansing to maintain skin comfort throughout the night. In the morning, follow up with a sunscreen appropriate for your level of sun exposure: this gel-cream does not contain SPF.

Our expert tips for hydrated, comfortable skin
Even shiny skin can be dehydrated: sebum alone isn’t enough to maintain its moisture levels. At the counter, we recommend opting for a gentle cleanser and avoiding the use of multiple harsh products when your skin feels tight. Apply your gel-cream regularly and adjust the amount to achieve your desired level of comfort, rather than layering multiple mattifying products. If your cheeks still feel uncomfortable despite this routine, a more nourishing texture on those areas may help. The goal is simple: keep your skin supple and comfortable, without trying to eliminate every trace of sebum.
