A sophisticated barrier-repair moisturizer packed with 5 Ceramides, Cholesterol, and Niacinamide to deeply hydrate and restore compromised skin.
This moisturizer features an outstanding formulation focused on skin barrier repair and hydration. It contains a robust Ceramide Complex (NP, NS, AP, EOP, EOS) combined with Cholesterol and Fatty Acids (Behenic Acid), mimicking the skin’s natural lipid structure. The inclusion of Niacinamide adds anti-inflammatory and brightening benefits. Hydration is maximized through Sodium Hyaluronate, Beta-Glucan, and the Aquaxyl complex (Xylitylglucoside, Anhydroxylitol, Xylitol). Additionally, biomimetic emollients like Squalane and Jojoba/Macadamia Esters ensure excellent spreadability and moisture retention without greasiness.
The formula is Fragrance-Free and void of essential oils, significantly reducing the risk of contact dermatitis or irritation for sensitive skin. It uses a blend of standard, well-tolerated preservatives (Phenoxyethanol, Benzoic Acid, Sorbic Acid) and boosters (Ethylhexylglycerin, Sodium Anisate). While it contains synthetic thickeners (Carbomer, Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-11), these are safe for topical use. It is a highly safe option for comprised barriers.
This is a top-tier moisturizer that rivals clinical dermatological brands. The sophisticated blend of 5 Ceramides, Niacinamide, and advanced humectants makes it an exceptional choice for dry, sensitive, or aging skin requiring barrier restoration. The lack of fragrance and irritants cements its status as a high-quality, functional skincare product.
This facial moisturizer represents an exceptionally well-rounded formulation designed to prioritize skin barrier health and long-term hydration. The ingredient list reads like a “greatest hits” of restorative skincare, anchored by a robust lipid complex. The inclusion of five different Ceramides (NP, NS, AP, EOP, EOS) alongside Cholesterol and Fatty Acids (via Macadamia and Jojoba derivatives) mimics the skin’s natural lamellar structure. This ratio is crucial for repairing a damaged moisture barrier, making this product highly effective for skin that feels raw, stripped, or flaky.
Beyond lipids, the hydration strategy here is advanced. It moves beyond simple water-binding by incorporating the Aquaxyl complex (Xylitylglucoside, Anhydroxylitol, and Xylitol) and Beta-Glucan. These ingredients work synergistically to optimize the skin’s water reserves and prevent trans-epidermal water loss more effectively than Hyaluronic Acid alone. The addition of Niacinamide provides a multi-functional benefit, helping to soothe inflammation, brighten the complexion, and further stimulate ceramide production within the skin.
For those with sensitive skin, the formula is notably safe, as it is free from synthetic fragrances, essential oils, and drying alcohols. The presence of Squalane ensures a silky application that provides emollience without feeling suffocatingly heavy. It uses a modern preservative system including Phenoxyethanol and Ethylhexylglycerin, which is standard and generally well-tolerated.
However, there are specific constraints for certain users. The inclusion of Polyglyceryl-3 Beeswax renders this product non-vegan. Furthermore, while excellent for dry skin, the rich blend of esters and fatty alcohols—specifically Ceteareth-25 and Polyglyceryl-6 Distearate—might be too occlusive for those prone to severe congestion. Individuals dealing with Fungal Acne (Malassezia folliculitis) should exercise caution, as the combination of oils and fatty acids could potentially trigger a flare-up. Overall, this is a superior choice for anyone needing intensive moisture and repair.
