WATER VELVET CREAM

 KEY BENEFITS

FORTIFIES + PROTECTS SKIN BARRIER: By creating a flexible, breathable film on the skin, it helps to physically shield the skin and protect the barrier from environmental aggressors, such as weather changes and low humidity.

SMOOTHES SKIN + HELPS REDUCE WRINKLES + ROUGHNESS: The formulation works smartly to hold water at different levels in the skin, for an immediate plumping and smoothing effect. Powerful biomimetic humectants and emollients improve the appearance of superficial wrinkles, soften skin and measurably reduce skin roughness.

HELPS IMPROVE CLARITY + ELASTICIY: By increasing hydration levels, skin elasticity and clarity improves.

SEALS IN MOISTURE: Our advanced formulation, combining glycerin and two types of hyaluronic acid, effectively attracts and binds water to skin – reducing evaporation, sealing in moisture and resulting in longer-lasting hydration.

PROTECTS AGAINST POLLUTION + ALLERGENS: By forming a physical barrier, it helps prevent makeup and debris from clogging pores and contributing to acne. It also helps prevent micro-particulates, pollution and other allergens from entering the skin, which can lead to barrier dysfunction, irritation, redness and inflammation.

HELPS FIGHT FREE RADICALS: Containing anti-oxidants, such as Vitamin E, it helps to reduce UV induced free radical damage, which can lead to pre-mature skin aging.

SILICONE-FREE: Many water-style creams contain silicones, our does not. Research shows silicones are not easily washed off skin and can create problems and lead to barrier impairment. For those with acne-prone or textured skin types, silicones can build up on the surface, interfering with desquamation and increasing the potential for acne, dehydration and irritation.
