Overview
This gel moisturizer is formulated for normal to oily skin and centers on hyaluronic acid alongside Biotherm's Life Plankton ingredient, aiming to plump and hydrate skin with a lightweight gel texture rather than a rich cream. Biotherm also states the formula is built to deliver around 500 hours of hydration from a single application, based on the brand's own testing.
The formula is alcohol free and includes organic material features, and it's meant to be applied morning and evening on cleansed, toned skin, working it in with upward motions while avoiding the eye area. Made in France, it comes in a 50 milliliter, 1.69 fluid ounce jar.
With 795 ratings and a 4.5 star average, this gel has earned strong, consistent feedback over time, even though its recent monthly purchase count is low. That pattern suggests a smaller but genuinely satisfied group of repeat users rather than a constant stream of first time buyers.
Pros
- 4.5 star average across 795 ratings
- Hyaluronic acid plus Biotherm's Life Plankton complex in one gel
- Alcohol free formula
- Lightweight gel texture suited to normal to oily skin
- Made in France with a well established skin care brand behind it
Cons
- $47 price puts it well above most gels in this lineup
- Formulated for normal to oily skin, so drier skin types may want a richer option
- Low recent monthly purchase volume compared to some other picks
Performance notes
Hyaluronic acid is a humectant that draws moisture into the skin and can support a plumper, more hydrated look, which fits this gel's positioning as a hydration focused daily step. Biotherm's Life Plankton is the brand's signature ingredient across its Aquasource line, generally included to support the skin's own moisture retention alongside the hyaluronic acid.
What buyers say
A 4.5 star average across 795 ratings is a solid result for a premium priced gel moisturizer, indicating that a large number of buyers have found it worth the investment. The lower current monthly purchase figure suggests it's more of a steady niche pick than a constantly trending bestseller.

Frequently asked questions
Is this gel good for dry skin?
It's formulated for normal to oily skin, so very dry skin types may find it doesn't provide enough richness on its own. Layering it under a heavier moisturizer is one way dry skin users sometimes adapt a lightweight gel like this one.
What does the 500 hour hydration claim mean?
Biotherm states this figure comes from its own testing on a standard 50 milliliter jar, evaluated shortly after a single application. It's the brand's own measurement rather than an independent third party test, so it's worth treating as a marketing benchmark rather than a guarantee for every user.
How often should I use this gel?
Biotherm recommends applying it morning and evening on cleansed and toned skin, smoothing it upward across the face and finishing on the neck and decollete while avoiding the eye area. Consistent twice daily use is how the brand suggests getting the most from the formula.
