Texture wise, the Bioderma Hydrabio Essence Lotion is quite watery, slightly thicker than the usual toner. It absorbs really fast on skin, without leaving any feeling of sticky-ness, which I love because I don't really like heavy products. There's also a slight cooling sensation after applying it on.
Performance wise, it gives me soft and supple skin. My skin leans more towards combination-oily skin type, though there's tendency to be some dryness around certain parts of my skin, which is mostly around the edges of my nose. I noticed there's a lack of flaky-ness on my skin, it also gives me a well hydrated skin, as if I'd just had a facial mask the night before. Overall it's a great product for dehydrated skin and also for those with sensitive skin that flares up easily.
