Why choose this rich anti-aging cream for dry skin?
Lierac Premium La Crème Voluptueuse is the rich cream in the Premium line, designed for normal to dry skin, even sensitive skin. It meets the needs of dry skin seeking a comfortable cream that also addresses the appearance of wrinkles, firmness, and radiance. Its formula combines the line’s patented botanical trio—white sandalwood extract, houseleek extract, and baobab seed extract—with high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, the form of vitamin B3 used in cosmetics, and shea butter.
Its creamy, rich, and ultra-comfortable texture envelops the skin in softness and leaves a velvety finish. It nourishes the skin thanks to a base of emollients, with shea butter listed among the first ingredients, alongside sunflower oils and plant-based waxes. Glycerin and hyaluronic acid—two ingredients that help retain water in the skin’s outer layers—complement this nourishing action by providing hydration. This is the cream in the line that is best suited for skin that feels tight after cleansing or lacks suppleness to the touch.
Beyond comfort, the cream addresses the appearance of signs of aging: wrinkles, dark spots, firmness, radiance, elasticity, density, and surface dehydration. In a clinical study conducted on 33 volunteers, with two applications per day, an expert evaluation after 3 months revealed smoother, more toned skin and a more even complexion. These results describe the skin’s appearance, as assessed visually, and develop over time with regular use. The formula contains 95% naturally derived ingredients and has been dermatologically tested.
It is used as a standalone cream, both in the morning and at night, after applying serum. It’s ideal for fall and winter, when cold, wind, and heating dry out the face, or for those in their 40s and going through menopause, when the skin becomes drier and thinner and regular creams feel too light. Its floral fragrance, with notes of jasmine, rose, and ylang-ylang, is shared by the entire Premium line. The glass jar is refillable: a 50-ml refill replaces the empty cream.
A rich cream is best applied to skin that has been cleansed of makeup and impurities accumulated throughout the day. Evening makeup removal eliminates makeup, excess sebum, and particles that have accumulated throughout the day, which can interfere with the application of skincare products. We recommend starting your evening routine withCaudalie Vinoclean Micellar Cleansing Water: it cleanses and removes makeup from the face and eyes in a single step, then La Crème Voluptueuse takes over to nourish the skin overnight, on a clean face where it absorbs better.
How should you apply La Crème Voluptueuse in the morning and at night?
Directions for Use
Apply morning and evening to the face and neck, after the serum. Spread the cream from the center of the face outward—from the chin, nose, and center of the forehead toward the temples—then repeat the motion until the texture is fully absorbed.

Our expert advice on Lierac Premium Rich Cream
With its rich texture, a little goes a long way: a small amount is enough for the face and neck. Using more than that will cause the cream to take longer to absorb and may leave a film under your makeup. In the morning, we recommend waiting a few minutes before applying foundation; in the evening, a slightly more generous layer is recommended on areas that feel tight, such as the cheekbones. If your T-zone gets shiny in the summer, it’s best to save this cream for the evening and apply it more lightly to your forehead and nose.
This cream does not contain any sunscreen. In the morning, on sunny days, or when exposed to the sun, facial sunscreen remains essential to protect against the dark spots and wrinkles this cream targets. And dryness accompanied by redness, patches, or itching requires medical advice rather than an anti-aging cream. Finally, switching creams every two weeks prevents you from properly evaluating a product: it’s best to use it regularly for several weeks, morning and night, before drawing any conclusions.
FAQ
What is the difference between Lierac Premium’s La Crème Voluptueuse and La Crème Soyeuse?
La Crème Soyeuse, the other cream in the line, is designed for normal to combination skin. Its lighter texture glides over the skin like silk; it contains a mattifying plant-based powder and does not contain shea butter.
Does the refill for La Crème Voluptueuse contain the same cream as my jar?
Yes. The ingredient list published by Lierac is identical for both the jar and the refill, with the same formula reference (4126A-1).
Can I apply La Crème Voluptueuse around my eyes?
Lierac intends it for use on the face and neck, but does not recommend it for the eye area. For this thinner, more delicate skin, the Premium line offers a dedicated product, La Crème Regard.
