Ultra Facial Cream

MoisturiserPremiumMorning or evening
A squalane + glacial glycoprotein daily cream for dry to normal skin. Rich but not greasy, very lightly fragranced. A sensible daily moisturiser that won't interfere with actives — though the price/performance ratio against CeraVe is debatable.

What's actually doing the work

Squalane
Hydrogenated Squalene / Plant-Derived Squalane
Lipid
A saturated, stable form of squalene — a skin lipid that declines dramatically after age 30. Structurally identical to human skin's natural oil: non-comedogenic, non-irritating, suitable for all skin types. Unlike most plant oils, it is oxidatively stable and will not go rancid. Functions as emollient, mild occlusive, and antioxidant.
