What it is

A barrier-comforting cream that blends humectants, PDRN, and cushiony emollients for lasting hydration without a heavy film.

Who it's for

  • Dry, dehydrated, or tight-feeling skin needing cushioned moisture.
  • Sensitive-feeling or combo skin wanting a fragrance-free, mid-weight cream.
  • Users buffering dryness from actives or dry climates.

Key ingredients (INCI)

  • PDRN (typically salmon-derived) — cosmetic skin-conditioning agent for a supple feel.
  • Hyaluronic Acid (multiple weights) — water-binding hydration for plump feel.
  • Panthenol (Pro-vitamin B5) — soothing hydration and slip.
  • Betaine / Glycerin — humectants to help balance hydration.
  • Squalane / Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride — lightweight emollients for a soft finish.

Free-from / texture

  • Fragrance-free, essential oil-free base.
  • Mid-weight cream that absorbs to a soft, non-greasy finish.
  • No drying alcohols in the base formula.

How to use & order

  • Apply after serums/essences on slightly damp skin.
  • Use a nickel-sized amount; press and glide to reduce friction.
  • AM/PM; in the morning, finish with sunscreen.

Conflicts & layering tips

  • Compatible with most actives; helpful over retinoids or acids to buffer dryness.
  • If very oily, use a thinner layer or reserve for PM/drier areas.
  • Patch test if highly reactive or if you have fish allergies due to PDRN sourcing.

Evidence & notes

  • PDRN and hyaluronic acid are cosmetic conditioning and humectant agents; effects are moisturizing, not medicinal.
  • Humectant-rich formulas perform best when sealed with consistent use.
  • Non-comedogenicity varies; monitor if acne-prone.

Safety

  • For external use only; discontinue if irritation occurs.
  • Patch test on a small area before first full-face use.
  • If pregnant or breastfeeding, review ingredients with your clinician for personal guidance.
  • If allergic to fish/salmon, consult a professional before use.
