Moisturisers are a mainstay in any skincare regime. While its primary function is to well, moisturise, a new crop of creams now come supercharged with key active ingredients to offer additional benefits.
These work to regenerate the skin from within by targeting cell functions and supporting optimal skin cell turnover. The result: a combination of skin-loving benefits that target our main concerns whether it is ageing, dullness or dehydration.
Scroll on for our roundup of these supercharged creams.
This cream now contains double the concentration of its signature yquem sap to target and treat seven signs of skin ageing: wrinkles, firmness, radiance, hydration, evenness, protection, and skin quality. It does so by limiting the skin’s oxidation process, tripling its antioxidant action and prolonging cellular longevity. Together, these actions work to repair and revitalise damaged skin while boosting firmness, elasticity and radiance.
This is infused with phytopeptides, which combine functional peptides and phytochemicals (an active ingredient in plants) that work to stimulate skin cells for optimal collagen production while offering anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits. On top of plumping and hydrating complexions, the cream helps to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles while boosting skin radiance for a healthier and younger-looking complexion.
This is powered by the brand’s propriety Ginsenomics to enhance and strengthen skin’s resilience and regenerative properties. It improves firmness and elasticity through a triple micro-targeting of restoring, supporting and reinforcing the skin by establishing a resilient support structure. The cream possesses a unique texture that feels thin and soft upon application and immediately dissolves into the skin to retain moisture while offering lifting effects.
A first of its kind, this cream is reportedly known to be the first moisturising anti-stress treatment which – in addition to correcting the harmful effects of psychological fatigue on the skin – rebalances moisture levels to plump, calm and treat complexions. It is enriched with a Beauty Moss Complex to minimise any additional reactions caused by skin sensitivity. Bonus: The rich and melting cream-balm texture glides over the skin surface and envelops it in softness.
This is saturated with a combination of water and oily sacred lotus flower extracts. The former is extracted with the use of a hydro-glycolic solvent of natural origin to obtain flavonoids, molecules known for their anti-radical properties while the latter is extracted with an oily solvent to obtain phytosterols, which are molecules that constitute the lipidic matrix of the epidermis. Together, these ingredients work to protect the skin from oxidative stress and stimulate epidermal renewal. The result is firmer, more radiant and bouncy skin.
This nourishing cream primarily targets skin regeneration to not only combat multiple signs of skin ageing but also plump, hydrate and brighten the overall complexion. It contains a Legendary Enmei Complex and camellia seed extract to support the natural cycle of cellular turnover, strengthening the skin from within and ensuring cell functions optimally.
The improved formula is developed with eight carefully-selected organic plant-derived core ingredients that are known for their antioxidant, hydrating, brightening, firming, and skin-barrier building abilities. These are carefully fermented using special fermentation methods to effectively replenish the skin’s energy, intensely moisturise, and visibly revitalise the skin. The non-sticky formula is also said to create and build fine protection layers on the skin’s surface to encourage skin regeneration and prevent moisture loss.
Skin stem cells are known to be responsible for skin regeneration and wound healing to maintain a healthy-looking complexion. However, as we mature, they are known to be less active and decrease in number. What this means: Visible lines, wrinkles and sagging skin. To preserve our skin stem cells for a healthier, more resilient complexion, this rich cream is formulated with a Stem Cell Technology that works with a patented DMAE ingredient to treat early signs of ageing and stimulate muscle contraction for increased plumpness, firmness and elasticity.
