- Gently press a thin layer of the creamy mask into your skin, and avoid any harsh rubbing.
- For the best results with dry skin , apply the creamy mask directly onto clean skin.
- Always do a patch test before your first use and avoid getting the creamy mask too close to your eyes.

Questions and answers
What makes Bioderma Hydrabio Masque one of the best fits for dry sensitive skin?
Bioderma Hydrabio Masque is a superior fit for dry sensitive skin because glycerin and xylitol deeply hydrate and smooth your skin while soothing ingredients keep it calm and comfortable. It also includes algae extract to support your skin barrier and niacinamide to refine texture safely without irritation.
Which ingredients make this mask a good fit for dry sensitive skin?
Glycerin and xylitol make this mask a great fit by providing deep moisture to smooth your skin, while laminaria ochroleuca extract helps support your skin barrier for lasting comfort. Niacinamide and wild apple fruit extract further calm your skin and refine its texture without causing irritation.
What does Aquagenium Patent do for dry sensitive skin?
Aquagenium Patent helps dry sensitive skin by training the skin to hold onto its natural moisture and keep it smooth and comfortable. It supports the skin channels that move water deep inside, so your skin stays hydrated longer and is unlikely to feel tight or dry.
Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, 2012Health Science Reports, 2021
What does Glycerin do for dry sensitive skin?
Glycerin helps dry sensitive skin by drawing moisture into the skin and keeping it there, making the skin soft and smooth. It is very gentle and unlikely to cause irritation while improving how well the skin holds onto water. This type of skin needs ingredients that boost hydration and repair the barrier without causing stinging.
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017The British Journal of Dermatology, 2008
Where does this mask go in a skincare routine for dry sensitive skin?
This nourishing mask goes into your weekly evening routine after cleansing and before your treatment and moisturizer. It is well suited to bring extra moisture and comfort to dry sensitive skin.
Can I use this mask with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this nourishing mask with retinol by applying the mask first to hydrate and calm dry skin, followed by your retinol treatment in your evening routine. This helps keep skin comfortable while using stronger ingredients.
How often should I use this mask?
Bioderma Hydrabio Masque is designed for weekly use as part of your routine for dry sensitive skin. Glycerin and xylitol help hydrate dry skin and smooth its texture, while laminaria ochroleuca extract supports the skin barrier.
Acta Dermato-venereologica, 2017Health Science Reports, 2021
Can this mask clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for dry sensitive skin?
This mask is unlikely to clog pores, cause breakouts, or lead to purging on dry sensitive skin. Its formulation is safe for your skin, containing no harsh or irritating components and including beneficial soothing agents.
Is this mask fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (parfum). Arachidyl alcohol, behenyl alcohol, and cetyl alcohol are fatty alcohols, which soften the skin.
What the research says
A formulation containing glycerol (5%) and xylitol (5%) applied twice daily for 14 days increased skin hydration, filaggrin protein quantity, interdigitation index, and biomechanical properties, and decreased transepidermal water loss compared to untreated and vehicle-treated skin in twelve volunteers with dry skin.
Acta Dermato-venereologica, 2017Dermocosmetic creams containing 6%, 12%, and 15% of standardized wild apple fruit ultrasonic extract increased skin hydration proportionally to extract concentration after 28 days of application on healthy volunteers without altering transepidermal water loss or skin pH.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2022A single application of a moisturizing fluid containing hyaluronic acid 1%, glycerin 5%, and Centella asiatica stem cells extract significantly increased skin hydration by 29% and reduced transepidermal water loss at 24 hours compared to baseline and an untreated control site in twenty healthy women.
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017The emollient V0034CR significantly reduced TEWL compared to vehicle and vehicle plus glycerol, and significantly increased corneometry scores compared to vehicle and vehicle plus petrolatum in healthy volunteers with dry skin, demonstrating combined barrier function improvement from petrolatum and hydration improvement from glycerol.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020Ten days of treatment with a cream containing 20% glycerin significantly increased skin hydration measured by corneometer values in 17 healthy volunteers compared to a placebo cream, but showed no influence on transepidermal water loss or skin sensitivity to an irritating surfactant.
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2001Topical post-laser application of human adipocyte-derived mesenchymal stem cell media combined with niacinamide significantly improved wrinkle index, melanin index, patient satisfaction, and investigator esthetic improvement scores compared to vehicle cream in patients with aging skin.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2021Topical nicotinamide prevented solar-simulated UV-induced immunosuppression in healthy volunteers, and men experienced immunosuppression at solar-simulated UV doses three times lower than those required for women.
The Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2008Topical 5% niacinamide applied twice daily for 12 weeks reduced fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmented spots, red blotchiness, and skin sallowness, and improved skin elasticity compared to vehicle control in 50 female white subjects with facial photoaging.
Dermatologic Surgery, 2005Rhamnose exerts beneficial anti-ageing effects on the papillary dermis and dermal-epidermal junction, including increased collagen IV and procollagen I production in vivo.
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2019Hesperidin, hesperetin, rutinose, and rhamnose reduced MMP-1 and MMP-2 levels, while rutinose and rhamnose also inhibited elastase, hyaluronidase, and collagenase and increased collagen I production in young and physiologically aged normal human dermal fibroblasts.
