Our new brightening moisturiser is clinically proven to increase skin hydration

There’s nothing we love more than a scientifically-backed ingredient pairing. Not only does combining ingredients streamline your routine, it also amplifies the benefits of each (two things we’re very much on board with).

Our latest launch, Vitamin C Ceramide Moisturiser, is a dew-inducing, hydrating masterpiece that marries Vitamin C (a proven antioxidant) with Ceramides (a bunch of much-loved emollients). When used together, this duo protects, firms, brightens, hydrates and strengthens the skin barrier – all key components of real, good skin.

Below, we unpack the details of our newest clinically-backed hero and why this ingredient-led formula might just supercharge your skincare game.

Firstly, what is Vitamin C?

You probably know that Vitamin C is a big deal in skincare. A powerful antioxidant, it helps to protect the skin from free-radical damage caused by environmental stressors (think UV and pollution). It comes in many different forms, but the most common in skincare is L-Ascorbic Acid. It works by neutralising those free radicals while stimulating collagen production and maintaining elasticity and firmness. Additionally, Vitamin C brightens the skin by inhibiting the production of melanin, the molecule responsible for dark spots, pigmentation and uneven tone.

With regular use, Vitamin C reduces the look of fine lines and wrinkles, improves skin texture and encourages a bright, even tone. It’s preventative and protective, and seriously effective when used correctly. It’s easy to see why we’re big fans.

And what are Ceramides?

Ceramides, on the other hand, are lipid molecules naturally found in the skin's outer layer. In topical skincare, they replenish and strengthen the moisture barrier, helping to lock in hydration and protect the skin against dryness and irritation.

Ceramides work almost like cement, filling in the space around skin cells to form a protective layer. They also soothe inflammation and can help repair compromised skin, making them great for anyone who’s prone to sensitivity.

The benefits of incorporating Ceramides into your routine are endless: you’ll improve your skin’s resilience, smoothness, overall texture, moisture retention and general comfort.

What are the benefits of using both Vitamin C and Ceramides?

While they fall into completely different ingredient categories, Vitamin C and Ceramides complement each other, working synergistically to visibly improve your skin.

Our Vitamin C Ceramide Moisturiser is an all-in-one face cream that brightens, protects, hydrates, soothes and creates seriously glowy skin. Inside the bottle, you’ll find stabilised Vitamin C (for efficacy sans irritation), Ceramides (strong skin barrier, we see you), PLUS Niacinamide to support the -brightening benefits and Polyglutamic Acid for long-lasting hydration.

It has a light but dewy finish and works for all skin types, especially dry, dull and pigmented. And before you ask… yes, it’s great for oily skin! Ceramides help retain moisture, but they’re not oily, greasy or occlusive.

The results speak for themselves

With the combined power of Vitamin C and Ceramides, our Vitamin C Ceramide Moisturiser is your ticket to bright and glowing skin. But don’t take our word for it! The impressive results from the clinical trial will be all the convincing you need to add it to your routine. Our formula is clinically proven to reduce wrinkle depth and prominence by 6%,* which means they’ll feel less obvious when you stand in front of the mirror every morning.

It’s also clinically proven to significantly increase skin hydration (by a whopping 27%) after just 45 minutes.* Of the subjects included in our trial, 76% said their skin looked and felt more hydrated after applying the moisturiser,* and 76% also said their skin felt softer and more supple.*

We’d hazard a guess that softer, smoother and more youthful skin are all on your skincare bingo card this year, and that’s exactly why we formulated this product in the first place.

*Based on a consumer study of 29 subjects using Vitamin C Ceramide Moisturiser for six weeks. Wrinkle depth and prominence reduction of 6%.
