• The tests were reportedly conducted by the Global Institute of Dermatological Sciences.

Formula Notes:

• The supplied descriptions conflict between three and five Ceramides. The ingredient list contains five clearly named Ceramides: Ceramide NP, Ceramide NS, Ceramide AP, Ceramide AS, and Ceramide EOP.
• Contains ten clearly identifiable Hyaluronic Acid and Hyaluronate ingredients.
• Contains five clearly named Peptides: Copper Tripeptide-1, Dipeptide-2, Oligopeptide-1, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, and Tripeptide-1.
• The formula combines Ceramides with Cholesterol and Phytosphingosine, ingredients naturally associated with the structure of the skin’s protective lipid barrier.
• Oligopeptide-1 is listed, but the formula should not be described as medically regenerating skin or permanently reversing wrinkles.
• No Fragrance, Parfum, or aromatic essential oils are listed in the supplied INCI.
• No drying alcohol such as Alcohol Denat. or Ethanol is listed. Cetearyl Alcohol is a fatty alcohol used for texture and emollient care.
• The supplied description states that the cream’s blue colour is derived from naturally sourced Hyaluronic Acid. No added colourant is listed, but the exact source of the finished product’s blue appearance cannot be confirmed from the INCI alone.
• The claim of hydration reaching “ten layers deep” depends on the manufacturer’s testing definition and should not be interpreted as penetration through ten complete anatomical layers of skin.
• The reported 40°F temperature reduction is presented according to the supplied information, but the starting temperature, treated area, application amount, and measurement conditions were not provided.
• Hydration can temporarily make pores and fine lines appear smoother, but the cream cannot permanently close pores or remove wrinkles.

How to Use:

1. Apply after cleansing, toner, essence, and targeted serums.
2. Use approximately a quarter-sized amount for the face, neck, and upper chest, adjusting according to skin needs.
3. Spread evenly over the skin and gently pat or massage until absorbed.
4. Use a lighter layer in the morning and allow it to absorb before applying sunscreen and makeup.
5. Apply a slightly more generous layer in the evening when additional hydration is needed.
6. Dry areas may receive a second thin layer rather than one excessively thick application.
7. Avoid applying directly into the eyes or onto broken and actively irritated skin.
8. Patch test behind the ear or on a small area for 24 hours before first use if your skin is highly reactive.
9. Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning as the final step of daytime skincare.
