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 Face Cream Review

I am really happy with this product, firstly I love the packaging and overall look of the product I like to display my skincare in my room and this looks beautiful! I love the consistency of this product the cream feels so hydrating on my skin, it's lightweight and creamy and leaves my skin looking super glowy. As someone with oily skin I find this product helps control my oils leaving my skin looking bright. It works as a good moisturiser under my makeup, I have been using it morning and night and find that it quickly absorbs to leave me with lovley skin!

Gorgeous face cream

This face cream is quite heavy so you don't need a lot of it but it absorbs really easily. My skin feels so much calmer and hydrated since I've been using it, especially during the recent cold spell which normally plays havoc with my skin. I also like the fact that it's unscented.

it's okay!

I found this product nice to use but I prefer to go for a cream with more of a scent. The actual cream it's self is good and feel my skin is protected after using it. Great for no make up days.

Feels expensive !

I have been using this for a week so far and am really liking the product. The face cream is really thick which makes it feel very luxurious and expensive. It still sinks in well despite its thickness, and is really hydrating

Great for dry skin!

In the past couple of weeks I've been using this, my skin feels so much more hydrated. It has a great consistency that doesn't feel oily so my make up goes on well after application
