Moisturisers & barrier care

Moisturisers help reduce water loss and support the skin barrier with a mixture of water-binding, smoothing and protective ingredients. The right texture depends on how your skin feels, the climate and the other products already in your routine.

Barrier support is foundational, but a separate moisturiser isn’t compulsory for everyone at every time of day. Some people get enough comfort from a hydrating serum or sunscreen; others need a dedicated cream, particularly while introducing active treatment.
