Intermed Luxurious Rich Body Cream Milk Chocolate: hydration with a sweet aroma
The Intermed Luxurious Moisturizing Rich Body Cream Milk Chocolate is a rich moisturizing body cream with a milk chocolate fragrance. It belongs to the Luxurious series of Intermed, available in five scents: icing sugar, pink orchid, vanilla Madagascar, milk chocolate and ginger ylang ylang. Its formula combines plant extracts rich in alpha hydroxy acids (AHA) with natural moisturizing oils.
It is for those who want their daily hydration after the shower to also be a small treat. It is particularly suitable for those who love warm, 'gourmand' scents and want the skin to remain soft and smooth, especially in areas that easily become rough, such as elbows, knees and shins.
What do AHAs do in a body cream
Alpha hydroxy acids are mild acids that are naturally found in fruits, sugar and milk. On the skin, they act on the bonds that hold together the dead surface cells, facilitating their detachment. The manufacturer describes this action as 'loosening the glue' between dead cells, so that they are removed and a smoother surface is revealed.
The oils in the formula complement this gentle renewal. They create a thin layer on the surface that limits moisture loss, which the manufacturer describes as a multi-layered net around the skin. The desired result is softer skin to the touch and comfortable throughout the day.
Key ingredients of the formula
- Plant extracts rich in AHAs. For gentle, gradual removal of dead cells and a smoother texture.
- Natural moisturizing oils. For nourishing and maintaining moisture on the skin surface.
- Milk chocolate fragrance. Warm, sweet scent that lingers subtly on the skin.
The manufacturer does not publish a complete INCI list on its page. For the detailed composition, refer to the packaging.
Who is it suitable for
For normal to dry body skin that needs daily hydration. For those who have rough areas and want a cream with a mild exfoliating action without a separate scrub. For those who enjoy aromatic body products and want to combine the cream with the Luxurious body wash in the same scent.
How to use
Apply a sufficient amount to the body daily or as needed, with gentle circular motions until absorbed. Applying immediately after showering, on slightly damp skin, helps to 'lock in' the moisture.
For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes and irritated skin. Because it contains AHAs, use sunscreen on exposed areas.
Frequently asked questions
Is it too heavy for summer?
It is a rich cream, so in summer a smaller amount is sufficient. In winter it shows its strengths, when the skin dries out more.
Do the AHAs make the skin more sensitive to the sun?
Products with alpha hydroxy acids may increase sensitivity to sunlight. Use sunscreen on exposed areas.
Does it really smell like chocolate?
Yes, the fragrance is milk chocolate, sweet and warm. If you prefer something fresher, the range also has scents like ginger ylang ylang or pink orchid.
Can I put it on my face?
It is a body cream. For the face, prefer a product designed for the thinner skin of the area.
Does it match the Luxurious Milk Chocolate body wash?
Yes. The 2-in-1 body wash of the range has the same scent, so the combination gives a more intense and lasting scent.
Is it suitable for sensitive or atopic skin?
It contains fragrance and AHAs, which may irritate very sensitive skin. First test on a small area or ask your pharmacist.
