All-day hydration – thanks to clinically proven 24-hour moisturisation

Clinical testing cited in the product description supports a 24-hour moisturisation claim; the gel-cream formulation is designed to replenish the skin's moisture barrier. Prebiotic Oat acts as a nourishing ingredient while the texture helps deliver hydration without heaviness.

Skin feels hydrated and comfortable for up to a day after application, reducing the need for frequent top-ups during normal daily use.

Soothing for sensitive skin – with Prebiotic Oat and Calming Feverfew

The formula includes Prebiotic Oat to help nourish the moisture barrier and Calming Feverfew, selected to help calm and soothe the skin. The combination targets sensitivity while avoiding known irritants.

Reduces sensations of tightness and visible redness, helping sensitive complexions feel calmer and more balanced after regular use.

Light, non-greasy finish – with a gel-cream texture

A lightweight gel-cream absorbs quickly into the skin and is formulated to be non-comedogenic and fragrance-free. The absence of fragrance reduces a common source of irritation for sensitive skin.

Comfortable to wear under makeup or alone, suitable for twice-daily use without leaving a heavy residue.
