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 cream love it

A thicker cream which rapidly absorbs, its non-sticky and firming and easily used under make-up. Affordable price too - I really liked this cream. Would recommend.

Hydrated, brighter skin!

I've been using this in the morning. It is perfect for keeping my dehydrated skin smooth and hydrated, yet it is not to heavy and thick, meaning my pores do not get clogged! My skin has been looking significantly brighter since using. A great mixture of ingredients in this cream!

Feels so expensive

I've been using this morning and evening and have absolutely fallen in love. It has quite a thick formula which is perfect for everyday use if you only use a small amount, or perfect for evening use if gently layered onto the skin. My skin feels so nourished after using this product!

Thick cream best for overnight

I've used this for about a week. It is definitely moisturising and is a thick, heavy product. Use sparingly! I've found it best as a night cream and sticking to the lighter ginger root moisturiser in the morning. It's been great during the cold weather though. Whilst thick it's not oily.
