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.

Super smooth

I have been using this cream, twice a day for just 5 days. It delivers as much as my previously used, more expensive cream. Skin is smooth and nourished. Perfect fot mature skin

Works wonders with the winter weather

I get nervous about face moisturiser incase I break out, this was not the case, just a thin layer has brightened my skin, and it feels really firm. I am really pleased, especially with some dry areas on my cheeks. It means makeup is really easy to apply. I apply before bed and also in the morning.

Light and easily absorbed

My mature skin quickly absorbed this moisturiser which has an unusual almost gel like feel. Whilst it did sink quickly into my skin I felt like I needed a little more moisture in the depths of winter but this would be perfect for oily and younger skin

My go-to winter cream

Love this face cream. Quite a thick cream so great for winter or as a night cream. Find it very moisturising and smoothing.

Beautiful soothing cream

Gorgeous moisturising cream! Thick enough to comfort my sensitive skin in the winter months, but never blocks my pores! The perfect moisturiser, can't believe how affordable it is too!
