What this cream does
A 60 ml cream, formulated to hold water in the surface, calm the look of redness and soften the surface.
Sodium Hyaluronate, near the top of the list
Sodium Hyaluronate sits at number 4 of 24 — an ingredient list runs in order of quantity, so that is among the largest part of what is in the bottle.
You can check it against the full list further down.

|---|---|

| Houttuynia Cordata Extract | Extract of Houttuynia cordata (heartleaf). Listed as skin-conditioning agent (miscellaneous). |
| Centella Asiatica Extract | Extract of Centella asiatica, whole plant. Used to calm irritation; used to slow oxidation, in the formula and on skin; used to pull in water and hold it. |

| Butylene Glycol | Diol. Used to pull in water and hold it; dissolves the rest so the formula stays one liquid. |

How the formula works together
Three groups of ingredients are doing the work here. Humectants — Sodium Hyaluronate, Propanediol and Glycerin among others — draw water into the surface. Calming ingredients — Centella Asiatica Extract and Allantoin — work on the look of redness. Emollients and lipids — Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride and Glyceryl Stearate — sit on top and slow how fast that water leaves.
Humectants and emollients and lipids are the pairing that matters here: water pulled in by one, held there by the other. That is the difference between skin that feels comfortable an hour after application and skin that feels comfortable at bedtime.
Who it is for
Labelled for all skin type.
How to use it
- Apply the desired amount of cream to the skin.
