Deep Hydration & Barrier Care

Visible Skin Benefits

Intensive Moisture Infusion

This cream’s core is 57% Andong Yam Root Extract, delivering deep, lasting hydration to thirsty skin. It provides the essential moisture your skin needs to feel plump, comfortable, and visibly nourished throughout the day.

Botanical Barrier Support

The formula features a botanical Phyto Mucin that actively works to reinforce your skin’s protective barrier. This helps shield against daily environmental stressors, reducing sensitivity and promoting a calmer, more resilient complexion over time.

Ceramide-Enriched Defense

A precise blend of five different ceramides is included to mirror your skin’s natural lipids. They help lock in moisture, prevent water loss, and create a smooth, supple texture that feels protected and intensely cared for.

How to Use

Application Guide

Incorporate this nourishing cream into your routine to maximize its barrier-supporting benefits. It works exceptionally well as a final sealing step or as a targeted treatment during periods of skin stress or active use.

Prepare and Warm the Cream

Begin with freshly cleansed skin, ideally after applying your targeted treatments and toners. Using clean fingertips, warm a small pearl-sized amount of cream between your palms to soften it before application, ensuring even distribution across the face.

Press into Skin for Absorption

Gently press the warmed cream onto your cheeks, forehead, and chin using flat palms or fingertips. This pressing motion helps the rich formula absorb more effectively without pulling or tugging on the skin, supporting better barrier penetration.

Layer and Seal the Routine

To seal in hydration and maximize barrier repair, allow the cream to fully absorb for a minute before layering additional products. For nighttime, this can be your final step. In the morning, follow with sunscreen to protect the nourished skin throughout the day.

This cream single-handedly repaired my damaged barrier. I ran and bought it when I read it has 5 types of ceramides. It applies like butter and leaves my skin feeling silky smooth. The nourishing formula has become a holy grail in my routine, and I'm already thinking about repurchasing.

I'm from a Nordic country with dry skin, so a good moisturizer is crucial. This is definitely moisturizing enough and has a nice finish. It doesn't pill under makeup or sunscreen. I use it every night and my skin feels protected and deeply cared for, especially during harsh winters.

This moisturizer helped me tolerate Adapalene much better, with significantly less peeling around my nose and mouth. I use it in the PM after my treatment. While the scent is a bit unusual, it disappears quickly. It provides the moisture my skin desperately needs without being overly shiny.

I have dehydrated but clog-prone skin, so most rich creams give me whiteheads. This yam cream is a game changer. It's super moisturizing but not heavy, and it doesn't clog my pores. It keeps my skin hydrated all day and is the perfect mix between a rich cream and a gel moisturizer.

This is amazing for calming and healing reactive skin. I was looking for a vegan alternative to snail mucin and found it. The mix of ceramides is fantastic. It instantly makes my skin feel soothed and dewy. It's particularly recommended for those with eczema or ultra-sensitive skin like mine.
