A restorative, fragrance-free moisturizer powered by Ceramides, Niacinamide, and Peptides to strengthen the skin barrier and improve elasticity.
This is a powerhouse formula focused on barrier repair and anti-aging. It features the ‘golden ratio’ of lipids: a blend of Ceramides (NP, AP, EOP), Cholesterol, and Phytosphingosine, which are essential for maintaining healthy skin structure. It is boosted by Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) to soothe inflammation and regulate oil, and Peptides (Tripeptide-1, Caprooyl Tetrapeptide-3) to support collagen production. Shea Butter, Glycerin, and Sodium Hyaluronate provide excellent immediate and long-term hydration.
The formula is fragrance-free and free of essential oils and drying alcohols, making it highly suitable for sensitive or reactive skin. The preservatives used (Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Benzoate) are standard and generally safe. While Cyclopentasiloxane is safe for skin, some consumers avoid silicones due to personal preference or environmental bioaccumulation concerns.
This moisturizer is an exceptional, science-backed product. It goes beyond basic moisturization by incorporating high-quality actives like Peptides and Niacinamide alongside a robust Ceramide complex. It creates a protective layer using Dimethicone and Shea Butter without relying on potential irritants, making it a top-tier choice for dry, aging, or compromised skin barriers.
This formulation represents a highly sophisticated approach to facial hydration, specifically engineered to optimize the skin’s natural repair processes. It distinguishes itself by combining robust moisturizing agents with advanced anti-aging ingredients, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of skin types. The base of the product utilizes Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride and Shea Butter, providing necessary emollience to soften rough texture without feeling overly heavy or greasy. This balance is crucial for those who need moisture but fear clogging their pores or feeling weighed down by traditional night creams.
A major highlight of this ingredient list is the comprehensive Ceramide Complex (NP, AP, EOP) combined with Cholesterol and Phytosphingosine. These ingredients are designed to mimic the lipid composition of healthy skin, effectively patching up cracks in the protective barrier. This is essential for preventing transepidermal water loss and shielding the skin from environmental aggressors. Working in tandem with these lipids is Niacinamide, a multitasking powerhouse known for its ability to soothe inflammation, regulate oil production, and improve uneven skin tone. Its presence here underscores the product’s suitability for sensitive and redness-prone skin.
Beyond basic hydration, the inclusion of Tripeptide-1 and Caprooyl Tetrapeptide-3 elevates this moisturizer into the anti-aging category. These peptides signal the skin to repair itself, potentially improving firmness and elasticity over time. Furthermore, hydration is secured through Sodium Hyaluronate and Saccharide Isomerate, ensuring that water is drawn into the skin and retained for long-lasting comfort, rather than just sitting on the surface.
The texture relies on silicones like Dimethicone and Cyclopentasiloxane, which create a breathable seal over the skin. This helps to lock in the beneficial ingredients while leaving a silky, smooth finish that serves as an excellent canvas. Finally, the formula is notably free from fragrance and drying alcohols, and includes soothing Allantoin, making it an excellent option for reactive or compromised skin. It effectively bridges the gap between a gentle recovery cream and an active anti-aging treatment.
