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
  • Squalane - moisturizing agent
  • 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.

Ceramide cream

Love this product. A rich moisturiser that is perfect for keeping skin hydrated without feeling or looking oily. Particularly good during the winter months when the weather can dry out the skin. A little goes a long way . Nice natural scent . Due to thicker consistency, would make a great night cream

Lovely Face Cream

This cream feels more expensive than it is, lovely rich texture that sinks in quickly. My skin feels smooth and hydrated after a few days of using it.

Super thick face cream!

I thought I'd try this face cream as I usually go for the collagen one but this appealed due to the many ticks on the box! I loved the thick texture but found it made my skin look instantly dull and matt looking rather than fresh. After using it over night, it did appear brighter in the morning but I found it wasn't as moisturising as the collagen one. I think it would be great if you had oily skin.
