About the product

Say hello to light-as-air barrier care. Light in texture, but never in performance, we’ve created a product just as efficacious as our best-selling moisturiser, simply in a lighter formula. Delivering all the hydration without any heaviness, The Light Moisturiser is suitable for all, but ideal for those with combination, oily or congestion-prone skin. Perfect for warmer weather, or for those who simply prefer a lighter texture, this efficacious gel-cream delivers all the benefits in one light-as-air formula.

Formulated with skin-conditioning and barrier-boosting actives such as pro-vitamin D3, a desert succulent stem cell active and a ceramide precursor, and with the same Lipid-Advanced Complex we use throughout our Skin Rocks range, you can find comfort in the fact that The Light Moisturiser works effectively to replenish the skin barrier. With a super smooth, gel-cream texture, this moisturiser absorbs effortlessly, providing instant hydration and replenishing the skin barrier.

All Skin Rocks Moisturisers cater to those prone to sensitivity or who simply prefer non-fragranced products by offering a fragrance-free formula, as well as those who prefer a more sensorial experience with our signature light, refreshing scent.


Key ingredients

Desert succulent stem cell active – Derived from a plant that has adapted to manage water and light in some of the harshest, driest climates on earth, this ingredient helps to boost hydration, maximise water retention and plump the skin by aiding the absorption of water and the production of vitamin D.

Lipid Advanced Complex – A luxurious blend of botanically sourced actives, phytosterols, jojoba oil, macadamia seed oil, squalene and vitamin E,
this lipid-rich complex supports the skin barrier and mimics the lipid profile of youthful skin to help improve hydration, firmness and elasticity.

Pro-vitamin D3 – A skin-conditioning vitamin vital for boosting vitamin D production, supporting long-term skin health and promoting optimal barrier function.

Ceramide precursors – Promote the synthesis of key barrier-supporting lipids that help to maximise water retention and condition the skin.

Super plum blend – Rich in antioxidants, this unique and powerful blend protects, nourishes and hydrates the skin.

FAQs

What’s the difference between The Light Moisturiser and The Moisturiser?

The Light Moisturiser is a lighter version of our bestseller – The Moisturiser. Both are suitable for all, but The Light Moisturiser is ideal for those with combination, oily or congestion-prone skin, for warmer weather, or for those who simply prefer a lighter texture. Both moisturisers share many of the same key ingredients, with The Light Moisturiser having more hydration-focused actives.

When should you use The Light Moisturiser?

The Light Moisturiser, like all Skin Rocks Moisturisers, can be used daily, both in the AM and PM.

Is The Light Moisturiser suitable for oily/breakout-prone skin?

Yes, The Light Moisturiser is ideal for those with oily, breakout-prone skin. Our original moisturiser – The Moisturiser – is also suitable for this demographic, and which you choose would be determined by your textural preference.

Is The Light Moisturiser oil free?

No. The Light Moisturiser is intentionally not oil-free. We wanted to create a formula that would be just as efficacious a barrier cream as our other moisturisers, and in order to do that, you need lipid-soluble ingredients, such as those in our Lipid Advanced Complex, many of which are oils. The idea that oily skin needs oil-free products is a myth, and in fact, depriving oily skin of any oil can actually cause the skin to overproduce more oil to compensate for this, hence why we formulated The Light Moisturiser with efficacious lipids to support the skin barrier whilst remaining light in texture.

Is The Light Moisturiser vegan?

No. The Light Moisturiser contains '7-dehydrocholesterol' (pro-vitamin D3), derived from the wool grease of healthy, living animals. We are constantly reviewing the information provided by our material suppliers and looking to source suitable alternatives for this material for future developments. However, we will only switch once we can ensure that this will not compromise the product's performance. No animals are harmed in this process.
