Everything you need to know about Q+A Ceramide Barrier Defence Face Cream

Overview

What it is

This product is a face cream formulated with ceramides derived from pineapples, intended to aid in maintaining the skin's moisture barrier. It is designed to support hydration and protect the skin from external elements.

Key ingredients and their functions

  • Glycerin - humectant
  • Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil - emollient
  • Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil - antioxidant
  • Ananas Sativus (Pineapple) Fruit Extract - natural source of ceramides
  • Ceramide NP - skin barrier support

  • Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil - conditioning agent
  • Olive Glycerides - emollient

How it works

This face cream appears to be designed to support skin hydration and reinforce the skin's natural barrier. Ceramides from pineapples aim to enhance the skin's structure, while glycerin acts as a humectant, drawing moisture to the skin. Sunflower seed oil and jojoba seed oil function as conditioning agents, helping to soften and smooth the skin. Grape seed oil provides antioxidant properties, potentially protecting the skin from environmental factors. Squalane may further boost moisture levels. These ingredients work together to maintain a hydrated and resilient skin barrier.

Great product to use during winter months.

Have been using this product for several months now and my skin has stayed soft and hydrated during these cold drying winter months. Would normally use at night but during the winter when my skin is drier, I have been using during the day and my skin is soft and moisturized.

Great moisturiser

Another product i love, i'm starting to get obsessed with Q+A! This moisturiser is lovely and thick and feels like it's really nourishing your skin. My only downfall with it is no spf, i feel like the moisturisers would be even better if they had spf combined. For this reason i'm using it as a night cream.

Good

This is a great face moisturiser cream, it's thick and you only need a small amount. It does exactly what you expect from a moisturiser leaves skin feeling brighter and ready for the day. Nice little jar to pop in your handbag! I would Definitely recommend this cream.
