Key Active Ingredients:
- Wild Pansy Extract (Viola Tricolor) – An extract rich in oligosaccharides that activates aquaporin channels between skin cells, helping to replenish the skin's moisture levels and enhance hydration.
- Long-Chain Hyaluronic Acid (Long-Chain Hyaluronic Acid) – Forms a moisture-binding film on the skin's surface, helping to prevent moisture evaporation and plump the appearance of fine lines.
- Imperata Cylindrica Root Extract (Imperata Cylindrica Root Extract) – An active ingredient derived from a desert plant, known for its powerful hydrating properties due to its high potassium and sugar content. It helps the skin retain moisture and maintain long-lasting hydration, particularly in dry environments. It significantly increases moisture levels in the epidermal layers (by up to 20% after 24 hours), providing long-lasting hydration.
- Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii Butter) – Its nourishing lipids, including triglycerides (oleic, stearic and linoleic acids), triterpene esters (such as lupeol and amyrin) and phytosterols, help support the skin's barrier function, leaving the skin soft and supple while reducing feelings of dryness.
- D-Panthenol (Provitamin B5) – Provides powerful soothing and hydrating benefits, helping to support skin regeneration and strengthen the skin barrier.
HOW TO USE:
Apply directly after cleansing and toning, morning and/or evening. Gently distribute over the face, neck and décolleté. Its lightweight texture provides an effective hydrating base without feeling heavy on the skin.
BENEFITS:
- Deep hydration for the skin's surface and deeper layers.
- Leaves the skin feeling smoother, softer and refreshed.
- Helps reduce the appearance of dehydration lines.
- Soothing formula that helps minimise irritation.
- Ideal as a base under make-up.
- Long-lasting protection against transepidermal water loss (TEWL), with an 11% increase in lipid content.
TIP
Depending on your preference, the gel can be combined with another moisturiser or used on its own as a lightweight, cream-free alternative for those who prefer not to use heavier textures.
It can also be applied before sunscreen products, such as Face Guard Advanced emulsion, during the day to help counteract premature skin ageing and the associated loss of moisture.
