Q: Which is the perfect Q+A moisturiser for me?

A:

Moisturisers are a staple in any routine and incredibly important for keeping your skin healthy and hydrated! But which one to choose? With our wide range of moisturisers and creams on offer, we understand it can be difficult to figure out the best options for you. However, this blog is here to help! 


Amino Acid Oil Free Moisturiser

Best for: Oily skin 

Benefits: Rebalancing, Pore Minimising, Hydrating, Calming 

This lightweight, oil-free formula is ideal for those with oily and stressed skin. The Amino Acid Oil-Free Moisturiser is formulated with a blend of non-comedogenic ingredients to help prevent congestion and promote balanced, healthy skin. L-Arginine, an Amino Acid found naturally in the body, supports overall skin health by delivering antioxidant protection and a healthy glow. With a low potential for irritation, it’s ideal for stressed and blemish-prone skin types. Saccharide Isomerate, derived from Alanine and Serine (Amino Acids), helps absorb excess oil, limit sebum production and mattify the skin, whilst Glycerin and Niacinamide provide moisture, relieve dryness and revitalise the skin. 

Whether you’re trying to combat an oily t-zone, banish breakouts or in search of the perfect base for makeup, the Amino Acid Oil-Free Moisturiser is all you need!

Ceramide Barrier Defence Cream

Best for: All skin types 

Benefits: Brightening, Hydrating, Protecting, Anti-Ageing 

Ceramides are the ultimate skin heroes with their moisturising, brightening and protective powers. Ceramides are naturally occurring lipids, a.k.a fatty acids, produced by the skin and are a key component to the healthy functioning of the skin barrier. As the quality and quantity of Ceramides in your skin begin to deplete as early as your 20s, it is important to make them an addition to your skincare regime. The Ceramides found in the Ceramide Barrier Defence Cream are naturally occurring and sustainably extracted from pineapples. Within the formula, you’ll also find natural Squalane, which provides fast-absorbing and moisture to the skin. 

 The Ceramide Barrier Defence Cream is the perfect all-rounder, earning its skincare hero status by suiting all skin types.

Zinc PCA Daily Moisturiser is the answer to 'I have oily skin, should I be moisturising?' Absolutely! Zinc PCA is great for balancing oil levels in the skin (and that goes both ways, so don't worry about those dry patches if you're combo) to keep congestion and shininess to a minimum whilst reducing redness and enlarged pores. Then we add Niacinamide, another oily skin favourite, to help reduce and calm blemishes, even out fine lines and skin tone, and improve the appearance of breakouts. Finally, Ginseng is your overall skin health guru - brightening, protecting, and rejuvenating your complexion! With super-fast absorption and no greasy film thanks to its non-comedogenic base, oily and combo skin types can enjoy a natural, balanced glow!
