What you can expect
STRONGER SKIN BARRIER
Ceramide NP slots into the skin's lipid matrix to reduce trans-epidermal water loss. Skin feels less reactive within 2 to 3 weeks of nightly use.
LONG-LASTING HYDRATION
Squalane, sodium hyaluronate and shea butter hold moisture in for 8 to 12 hours. Useful for dry South African winter air and air-conditioned offices.
SMOOTHER TEXTURE, SOFTER FINE LINES
Niacinamide and panthenol refine surface texture, while ceramides plump the visible appearance of fine lines from dehydration.
CALMS REACTIVE, ACNE-PRONE SKIN
Allantoin, centella asiatica and arnica reduce visible redness. Suitable for sensitised and acne-prone skin that other rich creams break out.
