Formulated to promote a more even, refined complexion, this lightweight daily moisturiser utilises SkinSense's revolutionary lamellar technology to lock powerful, active ingredients into the skin where they remain working harder, for longer.

  • This daily moisturiser is the absolute staple of the range
  • Combining N-Acetyl Glucosamine (NAG) and Niacinamide super-boosts the anti-pigmentation effect
  • Lamellar technology means active ingredients continue to work throughout the day
  • Contains glycerin to hydrate, amino acids to promote collagen production and grape seed oil to help reduce inflammation

      THE SCIENCE

      This formulation not only ensures stability and longevity; but also, the combination of N-Acetyl Glucosamine (NAG) and Niacinamide has been proven to have a synergistic effect, with studies showing a greater result in the reduction of hyperpigmentation when both ingredients are used together*. In addition, skin is hydrated and plumped with glycerin, amino acids and grape seed oil.

      INGREDIENTS

      Key Ingredients:
      Grape Stem Cell Extract – These natural compounds have shown great potential in promoting skin health, fighting signs of aging, and shielding against environmental stressors. Research has indicated that phenolic compounds extracted from grape stems possess potent antioxidant abilities, effectively combating free radicals that accelerate aging. Moreover, these compounds have demonstrated the capacity to shield the skin from UV damage, boost collagen production, and enhance skin elasticity. **

      Niacinamide - This multi-functional ingredient hero helps to hydrate and repair the skin barrier, whilst inhibiting the oxidative stress which causes discolouration. Also known to reduce the appearance of enlarged pores and diminish dullness.

      N-Acetyl Glucosamine (NAG) – This highly skin-compatible amino acid works in a similar way to an AHA, gently exfoliating the skin to reveal a smoother, fresher looking complexion. Imperfections are visibly reduced and overall hydration is improved.

      Hexylresorcinol – A synthetic molecule which has long been recognised for its antioxidant and brightening properties. Packed with antioxidants, it helps neutralize free radicals which contribute to discolouration and hyperpigmentation.
