MIXA

Mixa is a French skincare brand founded in 1924 by a pharmacy doctor, originally created as a cream and powder combination to calm redness. Now part of the L’Oréal group, it has spent more than 100 years specialising in sensitive skin, with every formula developed under medical control and tested on sensitive skin. Mixa has become the number one body care brand in France, known for simple, effective formulas for the whole family at affordable prices.

The Ceramide Protect Body Lotion is a go-to for very dry skin, using Ceramides to help strengthen the skin barrier and keep moisture in, while the Urea Cica Repair Body Milk Lotion combines 5% Urea with Panthenol to smooth and comfort rough, very dry skin with a lightweight, non-greasy texture. The Panthenol Comfort Body Lotion is designed to soothe dry, sensitive skin, and for stretch marks, the Stretch Mark Oil is formulated with 30% Omega 6 and 9 to help reduce their appearance and itchiness, absorbing quickly without a greasy finish.

Rough, bumpy, very dry skin is exactly what the Urea Cica Repair range is made for. The Urea Cica Repair+ Renewing Body Cream combines 10% Urea with Niacinamide to help smooth and renew dry, rough skin, and it’s also available in a handy 150ml size that’s easy to keep in your bag or take away with you.

Yes, sensitive skin is what the brand was built around, with formulas created under medical control and tested on sensitive skin. Many products are hypoallergenic, which makes them a gentle starting point if your skin tends to react to richer or heavily fragranced formulas.

The Niacinamide Bright collection is made for dry, dull skin, and the Niacinamide Moisturising Anti-Dark Spot Cream is the one to reach for. It uses Niacinamide, Shea Butter and Vitamin Cg to hydrate for up to 48 hours while helping to improve radiance, even out skin tone and visibly reduce the look of discolouration, and the hypoallergenic formula can be used across the face, body and hands.

For skin that feels itchy, tight or reactive, the Panthenol Comfort collection is designed to bring comfort fast, using Panthenol, Glycerin and Omega 6 and 9 fatty acids to soothe dryness, itching, redness and roughness. The Anti-Scratching Cream is a generous multi-use option for the body, while the Restoring Cream and the Multi-Use Cream come in smaller sizes that suit the face, hands and on-the-go top-ups.

Very dry skin benefits from a barrier-supporting routine, and the Ceramide Protect collection is built for exactly that, using Ceramides alongside Squalane and Glycerin to help skin hold onto moisture and protect against dryness, temperature changes and pollution. The Strengthening Cream is a rich option for the face, body and hands, while the Body Lotion offers a lighter, quick-absorbing texture for everyday use all over the body.
