Who is this gel-cream intended for?

It is suitable for normal, dry, combination and oily skin when moisture is lacking. It may be particularly useful when the skin feels tired, tight, rough or dull because of cold, wind, heating, air conditioning, travel, sunlight or active skincare ingredients.

What does hydration for up to 72 hours mean?

The 72H claim refers to the formula’s ability to support a longer-lasting skin moisture level. It does not mean that daily cleansing and skincare are unnecessary. The manufacturer recommends regular morning and evening use, while the duration of comfort may depend on skin type, environmental conditions and the rest of the routine.

Manufacturer test results

• Skin hydration increased by 30%.
• Skin elasticity increased by 18.6%.

Directions for use

1. Cleanse the face and neck gently.
2. Apply a small amount to clean skin.
3. Distribute evenly until completely absorbed.
4. Use morning and evening.

Additional ways to use the product

• As a regular moisturiser after cleansing or serum.
• As a short hydrating mask by applying a more generous layer for approximately five minutes and removing the excess with a soft cotton pad.
• A very small amount may be gently patted over make-up on dehydrated areas when required.

Pharmacist’s advice

Apply the gel-cream to slightly damp skin or immediately after a hydrating serum. This helps humectants bind water while ceramides and the finishing texture support moisture retention.

A small amount is sufficient for combination or oily dehydrated skin. Dry skin may require a more generous layer or additional emollient care during colder weather. Always complete the morning routine with an appropriate sunscreen.
