How Curatory Credit works

Why I chose it

I chose this as the richer moisturiser alongside Hydra-Vital Light. It’s best suited to dry, dehydrated or barrier-impaired skin that needs more than a light gel-cream.

The ingredients that make this special

A closer look at the ingredients doing the most meaningful work in this formula—and what the evidence can reasonably tell us.

Lactic Acid

A gently exfoliating AHA that also acts as a hydrator.

Read the clinical context

Lactic Acid isn’t just another alphahydroxy acid (AHA). Although it does also help to gently exfoliate dead skin cells away, it’s also a moisturising ingredient. Depending on the pH and concentration it can improve how well the skin holds onto water and keep the top layers of the skin soft and hydrated.

Vitamin E

An antioxidant that also helps soften the skin.

Read the clinical context

Vitamin E is an antioxidant that also helps soften the skin. Its exact role depends on the rest of the formula, but it does not need to be paired with Vitamin C to be useful.

Urea

A humectant moisturiser that helps the skin hold onto water.

Read the clinical context

Urea is part of the skin’s natural moisturising factor. At the concentration used in a moisturiser, it helps the skin hold onto water and can leave the skin feeling softer and better hydrated.

Allantoin

A soothing ingredient that helps soften dry or easily irritated skin.

Read the clinical context

Allantoin is a soothing, skin-conditioning ingredient that can help the skin feel softer and less irritated. It can be a useful addition to moisturisers and other products made for dry or easily irritated skin.
