Hang on. Maybe that’s not the right question. Instead of asking yourself which moisturizer is right for you, maybe ask yourself what you need today. Just like you would reach out to one friend for life advice and another friend to go for a swim in the ocean and another friend when you just want to relax and stop worrying so much, moisturizers, too, have different personalities. And knowing which moisturizer is right for your skin is also about knowing which moisturizer is right for you.
Meet the Moisturizers:
The Dreamer
Life comes in waves. Give your skin a rest with our new Dream Night Cream. This isn’t your ordinary moisturizer; it’s the first night cream clinically proven to reduce the effects of stress on skin during its nightly repair phase. We created this bedtime skin essential to revive dry, stressed, and aging skin while you sleep, making the most of your skin's natural nightly repair phase.
Our formula features bio retinol, derived from blue-green microalgae to visibly improve lines and wrinkles without irritation. Then there’s the powerful King of Bitters, which improves signs of fatigue on tired skin, including wrinkles. We paired that with the soothing scent of wild lavender, renowned for its calming and relaxing effects to improve visible signs of skin fatigue and help you catch your zzzs. Finally, we blended five of the creamiest vital hydrators, including squalane and glycerin to smooth and deeply moisturize. The results are impressive: Dream Night Cream visibly firms skin in just two weeks,* and 97% of users agreed skin instantly felt softer & smoother.** While the results are noticeable right away–you’ll wake up to rested, refreshed, radiant skin–they’ll build visibly over time too.
*Based on a clinical study conducted on 30 women ages 33 to 60, using before bed.
**Based on a consumer perception study on 30 women ages 33-60, using before bed.
The Overachiever
Moisturizers moisturize. It’s what they do. But that feeling usually lasts a few hours, maybe until dinner if you’re lucky. Seabiotic® Water Cream is a whole different game. Our ultra-hydrating, microbiome-friendly gel-cream moisturizer has been clinically proven to hydrate the skin for up to 72 hours. That’s up to three days. That means that when you apply it every morning, the skin still feels soft and nourished from the day before. Use it daily to keep the cycle going for skin that’s perpetually plump, hydrated, and happy.
The Sage
There is wisdom that comes from knowing ourselves—and our skin. Like a skincare Yoda, our Advanced Protection Cream has depth and gravitas and knows what we need on a deep level. This isn’t a lightweight. Our ultimate anti-aging moisturizer uses the powers of algae-derived bio retinol, plant-based amino acid DPHP and Undaria seaweed to restore the look and feel of youthful skin, visibly firming the skin while locking in moisture and offering unparalleled barrier protection. It’s also clinically proven to instantly increase hydration by 121%. Pretty wise, if you ask us.
The Peacemaker
You know those days when your skin seems a little...frustrated? Maybe it’s red or inflamed or irritated or breaking out or about to break out or all of the above? That’s where our Blemish Balm comes in. This lightweight lotion designed for blemish-prone or combination skin uses plant-based salicylic acid, derived from wintergreen, to clear up acne and prevent future breakouts. Enhanced with a beautiful blend of thyme and camelina oil to shrink the appearance of pores and promote healthy looking skin, along with five hydrating seaweeds. Apply in the morning or night, for balanced hydration that doesn’t leave skin shiny.
The Protector
We all need one: someone to nurture us while keeping our enemies away. And in the case of a moisturizer, that means protection against the stressors of the world. Our Atmosphere® Protection Cream is a lightweight, everyday moisturizer clinically proven to instantly create a barrier between skin and environmental pollutants. Powerful elfdock (a plant hailing from the sunflower family) combines with Undaria seaweed to protect the skin’s barrier against environmental pollutants while improving the look of skin elasticity. Our formula also uses niacinamide to improve hydration and enhance the skin’s barrier along with shea butter to revive dry skin, leaving it soft, smooth and deeply moisturized.
