Skin Quenching light moisturiser
Hydrated skin is crucial for optimal skin barrier function. This super lightweight, humectant-rich moisturiser with ceramides features components found in the skin’s own Natural Moisturising Factors (NMF) and is formulated for normal/balanced-combination and oily skin types - especially dehydrated skin, to hydrate and replenish the water content of the skin, supporting a healthy skin barrier. It leaves the skin feeling supple and comfortable whilst reducing tightness. If you dislike the feeling of heavy, cloying textures, this moisturiser is for you! Easily absorbed with a non-greasy feel.
