This moisturizer is designed for chronic dryness, utilizing Urea and Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMFs) to condition the skin surface and pull moisture into the stratum corneum. The formula features Ceramide-3 for lipid barrier maintenance and Gluconolactone (a PHA) for gentle resurfacing. It is free from fragrance and drying alcohols, aligning with sensitive skin maintenance protocols.
The product provides 48-hour moisture retention and a non-greasy finish. Because the formula uses surface-conditioning acids that increase UV vulnerability, daily broad-spectrum SPF protection is required to protect the skin.
