Citystem™: Patent pending
This pressed cream perfectly concentrates all day treatments. Firstly, as a global anti-pollution active ingredient Citystem™ protects the skin from both environmental aggressions and blue light damage (screen light ageing). Then, Keratoline™C PS serves as a gentle enzymatic exfoliant and eliminates the dead cells to reveal younger, healthier looking skin. Fruitliquid™ Goji EC is an “exotic superfruit” which increases energy and vitality to induce well-being. This texture looks like a thick and rich cream but feels light and fresh when applied thanks to Crodafos™ MCK, Arlacel™ 170 and Crodacol™ CS90 which impart a soft and dry finish to the emulsion. In combination, non comedogenics emollients Crodamol™ SSA, Crodamol™ AB and Crodamol™ STS improve the dry touch and allow the cream to be quickly absorbed to apply make-up straight away. Finally, Duraquench™ IQ SA works in synergy with these emollients to offer an effective 24 hour moisturisation. To summarise, this Citystem™ and Keratoline™C PS cream provides moisturising, outdoor and indoor pollution defence, energising and smoothing effects in just one go.
