⚡ At a Glance
  • Cleansing Action: Non-foaming, gentle cleansing that removes dirt without harsh surfactants
  • Best for: Normal to dry skin, including those prone to sensitivity
  • Not ideal for: Users who prefer foaming cleansers or strong exfoliation

Contains three essential ceramides and hyaluronic acid to support the skin barrier. Fragrance-free and non-comedogenic formula suitable for use on face and body.


Long-lasting hydration - with MVE Technology

MVE Technology is formulated to help retain and release moisturising ingredients over time, supporting continuous hydration for up to 24 hours. The system works by managing release rates so skin stays hydrated between applications.

Hydration lasts longer after washing, reducing tightness and frequent reapplication of moisturisers. Ideal for mornings and evenings when prolonged moisture matters.

Barrier support - with 3 essential ceramides

Three ceramides mirror key lipid components found in the skin's natural barrier, helping to replenish and maintain those lipids. Ceramide support aids barrier repair after cleansing.

Barrier feels stronger and less prone to moisture loss, helping skin recover from dryness. Useful for anyone experiencing occasional sensitivity after cleansing.

Gentle, non-stripping cleanse - with non-foaming formula and hyaluronic acid

A non-foaming formulation uses milder cleansing agents while hyaluronic acid attracts and holds moisture at the skin surface. The combination cleans without removing essential lipids.

Cleanses effectively without leaving skin tight, suitable for daily face and body use. Works well under moisturiser to maintain comfortable skin throughout the day.
