Article content A leave-in hair conditioner that features the brand’s Bond Building Technology as well as a high-adhesion sealing complex to repair and protect hair “from cortex to cuticle.” Applied to damp hair after the shower, our tester found this product provided noticeable smoothing of strands after styling. Hair felt soft and appeared shiny.

A new addition to the bestselling Minéral 89 skin care collection, this rich face cream features minerals, pure hyaluronic acid, squalane, and biolipids to provide 100 hours of hydration. The fragrance-free formula is billed as being suitable for dry to very dry skin. A little of this moisturizer goes a long way.



Our tester subbed this moisturizer in for her go-to formula and found this product gave skin a big ‘drink’ of hydration. While a rich cream, it wore comfortably on skin. An exfoliating liquid with a leave-on formula.

Suitable for dry to oily skin, the product features a blend of mandelic and lactic acids to address concerns such as texture and fine lines. Gentle yet effective, this exfoliating liquid has become a new go to in our tester’s skin care regimen. Applied to clean skin using a cotton round, she found the formula reduced the appearance of fine lines and pores with regular use.
