Why day creams disappoint

A day cream has one job: keep skin comfortable until evening.

Too many day creams feel lovely for an hour and then leave skin tight by lunchtime, or sit heavily under makeup. The difference usually comes down to how well the formula holds on to water, and how it feels while doing it.

This cream uses hyaluronic acid in two sizes, betaine and glycerin to draw water in, and shea and avocado to keep it there, in a velvety texture that sits well under SPF and makeup.

The hero ingredients

Hyaluronic acid, two ways

Hydrolysed hyaluronic acid and sodium hyaluronate · with a marine ferment

Hyaluronic acid holds many times its weight in water. The larger form, sodium hyaluronate, stays on the surface and forms a light, moisture-holding film. The smaller, hydrolysed form is light enough to work in the outer layers of the skin.

Alongside them, a marine ferment (Alteromonas) forms a light film on the skin's surface, and betaine and glycerin help draw water in. It's the kind of hydration you'll feel on day one.

The research

What studies show about each ingredient.

These studies test an ingredient, usually in a different product. They explain why each ingredient is in this cream. They are not results for this cream.

Hyaluronic acid

Pavicic et al., 2011 · Journal of Drugs in Dermatology
What was tested

76 women aged 30–60 applied 0.1% hyaluronic acid creams around one eye twice a day for 60 days, with a plain cream around the other.

What they found

Every molecular weight improved hydration and elasticity. The two smallest also reduced measured wrinkle depth.

What it doesn't prove

A different cream. Our concentration isn't published.

Alteromonas ferment extract

Borel, Lamarque & Loing, 2017 · Journal of Cosmetic Science
What was tested

A marine sugar tested on skin cells exposed to UVB, and on volunteers' skin before exposure to fine dust particles.

What they found

It reduced UV-linked damage to cell fats, and at 0.02% cut particles sticking to skin by 45% against placebo.

What it doesn't prove

The authors work for a company that makes it. We don't know if our grade is the one tested.

Aloe vera

Dal'Belo et al., 2006 · Skin Research and Technology
What was tested

20 women used creams with 0.10–0.50% freeze-dried aloe on the forearm daily for two weeks.

What they found

Every aloe concentration raised the water content of the skin's outer layer.

What it doesn't prove

A small forearm study. It says nothing about lines.

Shea, avocado and plant oils

Lin, Zhong & Santiago, 2017 · International Journal of Molecular Sciences (review)
What was tested

A review of research on plant oils and butters applied to skin.

What they found

Shea and several plant oils showed barrier-supporting and softening properties in the studies reviewed.

What it doesn't prove

A review of small studies, not a trial of our cream.
