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.

Perfect for a.m.

This is the final part of my everyday morning routine (before spf!) it's rich and moisturising but not greasy as all therefore perfect under make up.

Great for day and night use

I purchased this product to use in the evening but the texture of it makes it suitable for day and night use which is great. I suffered with dryness under my eye and on my nose and this has disappeared thanks to this cream

A skin magic!

My skin usually is quite fussy especially with heavier products. This cream works wonders on my combination and ageing skin. It helped to fix my skin barrier, balanced it and soothe . Wonderful product. I am hooked. Also tried niacinamide toner and face wash, and vitamin C serum. All great! Well done Q+A!!! Now, just waiting for a good SPF from your brand and you have a customer for a life!

The BEST cream (not even joking)

This is hands down the nicest cream I've used on my skin. I have extremely dry skin and most makeup does not look nice on my face due to dry patches.. but this cream has changed so much! I apply day and night and have already gone through two tubs and will definitely be repurchasing. This goes great with the Vitamin C serum moisturiser by Q+A as well. I love these two products.

Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin Cream dupe!

It's so good and it makes the skin feel super silky and hydrated. It also works perfect under makeup! I love it. Just as good as the ceramidin cream by Dr. Jart+!
