SVR Ceramides Biotic Nourishing Regenerating Balm 50 ml

When should you choose this ceramide balm for dry skin?

SVR Ceramides Biotic Nourishing Regenerating Balm is an anti-aging balm formulated for dry skin on the face and neck that is losing suppleness and elasticity and showing signs of fine lines and wrinkles. Its formula combines a complex of five ceramides—including AD ceramides—with a Lactobacillus ferment, low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid, and stabilized vitamin C. Among facial moisturizers, it is intended for skin that feels tight and for which lighter textures are no longer sufficient to restore comfort.

Ceramides are lipids naturally found between the cells of the skin’s outermost layer, where they help prevent water loss. The ceramides in this balm mimic their structure and are enhanced by the shea butter and sweet almond oil in the formula. The balm texture intensely nourishes, soothes the skin, and helps protect it, leaving skin more supple and comfortable. The balm melts upon application, leaving no greasy residue or sticky feeling, and imparts a fresh, light fragrance. This texture is suitable for both evening and morning skincare routines; it can be worn under makeup once the balm has fully absorbed.

Lactobacillus ferment—that is, pasteurized probiotics—vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid form the core of the formula shared across the Biotic line. Low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid hydrates and plumps the skin, and the formula as a whole visibly firms and smooths the skin. In a clinical study conducted on 22 volunteers—half of whom had sensitive skin—with two applications per day for 56 days, fine lines and wrinkles were reduced by 24% and skin dryness by 93%.

Day after day, the skin regains its elasticity and radiance: stabilized vitamin C visibly brightens the complexion, which is often dull in skin lacking lipids. This balm is ideal for use when facial skin shows signs of aging, as the cold weather returns, or when indoor heating dries out the air—morning and night, either on its own or as part of an existing skincare routine. As part of a complete skincare routine, apply it as the final step—after cleansing and, if using, a serum, and before morning sunscreen; a small amount is enough for the face and neck, to be spread from the center outward.

Preparing dry skin begins with your evening makeup removal routine. For this, we recommend Curél Cleansing Milk: its milky texture removes makeup and impurities from the day without rubbing, and the ceramide balm is then applied to clean, dry skin, as directed.

Our expert advice on SVR Ceramides Biotic for dry skin

For sensitive skin, use it alone for a few days before combining it with a serum or other active ingredients: if a reaction occurs, you’ll know which product caused it. You can then adjust the amount by eye: if your skin remains shiny an hour after application, it means it has received more than it needs, and it’s better to use a smaller amount than to skip an application.

When it comes to your skincare routine, consistency matters more than the amount: the results described above were observed after eight weeks of morning and evening applications. In the morning, vitamin C does not replace sunscreen, which remains the most important anti-aging step: apply it over the balm as soon as you’re exposed to the sun, even in winter.

FAQ

Yes: the formula is indicated as suitable for pregnant and breastfeeding women. It contains neither retinol nor vitamin A derivatives, anti-aging active ingredients that are typically avoided during pregnancy.
