Ingredient spotlight

About half of your skin barrier’s lipids are ceramides. Five of them, with cholesterol, help rebuild it and seal in moisture.

How it works Ceramides NP, NS, AS, AP and EOP match lipids found in healthy skin. Paired with cholesterol and plant oils, they help reduce moisture loss and restore comfort.

Description

Overview

Five essential ceramides, cholesterol and a hyaluronic complex to fortify the skin’s natural barrier and keep it deeply moisturised.

A science-led blend with calming natural extracts, for a resilient, comfortable complexion that holds up against pollution and harsh weather.

Key ingredients

Barrier

Five ceramides

Ceramides NP, NS, AS, AP and EOP, found naturally in healthy skin, are the building blocks of the barrier that seals in moisture.

Barrier

Cholesterol

Works with ceramides the way the skin’s own lipids do, helping restore a barrier that holds.

Hydrate

Hyaluronic complex

Sodium hyaluronate, acetylated and hydrolysed hyaluronic acid and hydrolysed glycosaminoglycans draw in moisture for a plump, supple feel.

Replenish

Shea, squalane and triglycerides

Lightweight lipids that replenish the skin’s barrier and prevent moisture loss without feeling greasy.

Soothe

Honey and oat

Natural extracts with calming properties for sensitive skin.

Resilience

Beta-glucan

Helps soothe and support the skin’s natural resilience.

Texture

A creamy texture that melts in without residue and absorbs easily. Use as a night cream, or as a day moisturiser for dry skin. Layers easily with the rest of your routine.

How to use

Cleanse and tone. Make sure skin is free of makeup, dirt and oil.
Take a pea-sized amount and warm it between your fingertips.
Smooth evenly over face and neck with upward, outward motions, avoiding the eye area.
Let it absorb fully before sunscreen or makeup.

Tips

Use twice daily, morning and evening.
Dry skin: apply a thin layer, let it absorb, then add a second thin layer.
Oily skin: a single layer is usually enough.

Precautions

For external use only. Keep out of reach of children.
Avoid contact with eyes. If it gets into the eyes, rinse thoroughly with water.
Stop using if irritation or redness occurs, and see a dermatologist if it persists.
Store somewhere cool and dry, away from direct sunlight and heat.
Do not use if the safety seal is broken or tampered with.
