Caroline Hirons says
This has a rich texture (in the best way) that still feels light on the skin and absorbs, layers and applies beautifully. It works brilliantly under makeup and SPF, and I love to use it before bed. The ultimate rich, nourishing moisturiser.
Skin types and skin tones
Tested on and suitable for all skin types and tones.
Skin concerns
Dryness, sensitivity, flaky skin, dehydration and dullness.
Formulated with dry skin types in mind, indulge your skin in intense moisture with our ultra-rich cream. Powered by a curated blend of barrier-strengthening ceramides and lipid-rich oils that reinforce your skin barrier, reduce sensitivity and improve your skin's ability to retain water, this is your dry skin saviour.
Whether your dryness is caused by genetics, hormones, cold weather or prescription products, such as tretinoin and Roaccutane – or you simply prefer a thicker cream at night – this is a comforting blanket of nourishment for your face.
Key ingredients:
Ceramides – Barrier function/hydration
Cholesterol – Barrier function/hydration
Essential fatty acids and olive glycerides – Skin conditioning
Oat kernel oil – Soothing/barrier function
Prefer your skincare unfragranced? We also offer a fragrance-free formula.
Pair it with:
The Rich Moisturiser + The Cream Cleanser – your skin-conditioning Bookends™.
The Rich Moisturiser + The Support Oil – a barrier-boosting duo for sensitive, stressed-out skin.

What is the skin barrier?
Made up of the outermost layer of your skin, plus a combination of substances, the skin barrier is your body’s first line of defence, protecting you from the elements, environmental stressors and toxins and keeping your skin hydrated. If you have a damaged skin barrier, your skin can feel dry, tight, flaky, sore or look red and will lose water easily.
