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.

Lovely brightening product

I've been using this product for a week now and I love how smooth and bright my skin looks! I love how thick the product is so you don't have to use a lot to apply it

Good barrier

I have really enjoyed using this barrier cream each morning. It is non greasy and absorbed into my skin very quickly . It felt like a good daily defence against winter weather and any other pollutants . I particularly liked the texture which is thick and creamy which made application very easy unlike some other barrier creams which are runny.

Moisturising to the max

Such a beautiful smoothing & protective face cream! It has a lovely custard like consistency & not much scent which is really nice, You don't need much to moisturize your skin. I love using this after the Niacinamide serum. Please don't hesitate to pick this cream up for yourself!

Great Barrier

Love this Ceramide Barrier Cream. It is so effective at keeping moisture locked in my skin. I have noticed my make up staying put and looking fresh all day. A long standing age/sun damaged arch has faded which was a great bonus!
