Restorative Moisturiser 50ml

After fifty, skin is thinner and drier. It is silk now, not denim, and you don’t scrub silk. The Restorative Moisturiser is the richest cream in the range, made for exactly that skin.
It carries RetinART™, a bio-retinoid grown from microalgae. In a 56-day study against 0.3% retinol on the same faces, it did as well as the retinol, with no redness, burning or itching at any check. Bakuchiol works through a different, non-retinoid pathway, so the two complement each other. Ceramides, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid help rebuild the barrier that keeps water in, and plant oils and shea butter make it feel like a proper night cream.

WHAT THE STUDY MEASURED

•    RetinART™: comparable to 0.3% retinol over 56 days, on the same faces

•    Firmer skin in 29 of 30 women and more elastic skin in all 30
•    Dark spots visibly lighter in 29 of 30 women
•    No redness, burning or itching at any check [IN VIVO]
