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 rich cream

I have combo skin and this is perfect for night time. It's a lovely creamy rich moisturiser but not too heavy or suffocating. It doesn't leave an oily residue yet still leaves my skin feeling hydrated in the morning.

Perfect for dry skin

My skin is dry and flaky especially in winter and I love how comforting and hydrating it feels. Ceramides protect the skin barrier and pineapple extract brightens up complexion, which makes it a perfect daily moisturizer for me. It sinks beautifully into the skin and leaves it soft and plump.

Lovely Winter Moisturiser

(Disclaimer: Gifted product under no-obligation to review) This is a lovely rich moisturiser that my skin is loving at the moment. I struggle with thick moisturisers as most of them break me out and leave my skin feeling greasy, this one doesn't. I love that it has ceramides and skin barrier supporting ingredients, as I use Tretinoin and need this extra protection but usually struggle due to the breakouts. Although thick, it feels light on the face and dries down matte. Only a small finger scoop worth is needed as it spreads far, can leave a white mark on the face of products before haven't fully absorbed but I use this before bed so isn't an issue for me. Perfect! Unsure if this will be too heavy for my skin type in the summer, but for the autumn/winter it's now my go-to!
