Feeling like your skin is dull, tired, or losing its firmness? This dual-function cream offers a unique sensory experience, wrapping your skin in moisture to restore bounce and radiance, helping to soften the appearance of fine lines over time.

• Texture: A lightweight gel cream holding concentrated golden oil capsules.
• Finish: Nourished, dewy, and glowing without feeling greasy.
• Scent: A signature aromatic citrus-floral blend.
• Best For: Normal, Combination, Dry, and Dehydrated skin types.
• Core Purpose: To moisturise, nourish, brighten, and improve skin elasticity.

1. Cleanser: Wash your face to create a clean base.
2. THIS PRODUCT: Scoop a pea-sized amount and gently massage onto the skin until the capsules melt and absorb.
3. Sunscreen (AM) / Moisturiser (PM): This product is your moisturiser. In the morning, always finish with sunscreen to protect your results.

Mindful Tip: Already own a similar moisturiser? Finish that one first before opening this one. Substitute, don’t stack.

• Minimalist (3 steps): 1) Cleanser → 2) THIS PRODUCT → 3) Sunscreen SPF 30+
• Optional Add-ins: You can apply a hydrating toner or a Vitamin C serum before this cream if you have them in your routine. This cream is hydrating enough that many will not need an extra moisturiser before SPF.
• Wait Times: Allow this cream 1-2 minutes to set before applying sunscreen or makeup to prevent pilling.

• Minimalist (2-3 steps): 1) Cleanser (use an oil cleanser first if removing makeup or water-resistant SPF) → 2) THIS PRODUCT.
• Optional Add-ins: On nights you don't use strong exfoliants, you can layer a hydrating serum before this cream for extra moisture.
• Texture Rule: Always apply products from the thinnest consistency to the thickest. This cream is your final moisturising step.

• Amount: A pea-sized amount is sufficient for the face. Add another half-pea for the neck.
• Method: Use the provided spatula to scoop the product. Apply to the face and gently massage in circular motions. The pressure will break the oil capsules, releasing the nourishing ingredients. Pat gently to aid absorption.
• Frequency: Suitable for daily use, both AM and PM.

If-This / Then-That:

• If your T-zone is oily: Use a smaller amount and focus more on the drier areas of your face.
• If your skin feels extra dry from AC: Apply a slightly more generous layer at night as a nourishing mask.
• If you are using under makeup: Wait 1-2 minutes for it to fully absorb before applying your primer or foundation. This helps prevent pilling.
• If you are sensitive: Start by using it only in your PM routine for the first week to ensure your skin is comfortable with it.

This cream is designed for daily use. However, be mindful when pairing it with other strong active ingredients.

• Daily Use: Apply AM and PM as the moisturiser step in your routine.
• If Using Exfoliants (AHA/BHA): On the 1-3 nights per week you use a chemical exfoliant, this cream works well as a soothing, barrier-supporting moisturiser afterwards.
• If Using Retinoids: This cream can be used after your retinoid has fully absorbed (wait 10-20 minutes) to help moisturise and reduce potential irritation. Avoid using exfoliants on the same nights as retinoids.

Example PM Week:

• Mon: Retinoid → THIS PRODUCT
• Tue: Exfoliant (AHA/BHA) → THIS PRODUCT
• Wed: Gentle hydrating serum → THIS PRODUCT
• Thu: Retinoid → THIS PRODUCT
• Fri: Gentle hydrating serum → THIS PRODUCT
• Sat: Exfoliant (AHA/BHA) → THIS PRODUCT
• Sun: Gentle hydrating serum → THIS PRODUCT

• Immediately: Skin feels deeply moisturised, soft, and appears more radiant and dewy.
• 2-4 Weeks: With consistent use, skin tone may appear brighter and more even. Skin feels consistently hydrated and supple throughout the day.
• 4-8+ Weeks: Skin can feel firmer and more elastic. The appearance of fine lines caused by dryness may be reduced. Remember, consistent sunscreen use is essential to see and maintain these results.

Myth: "Applying pure coconut oil is the best natural moisturiser."

Reality (Why This is a Better Choice): While some plant oils have benefits, pure oils can be comedogenic for many and lack other essential skin components like humectants (to draw water) and barrier-repair ingredients. This cream is a sophisticated formulation that combines a specific blend of oils in a non-greasy gel base with proven ingredients like Niacinamide, Adenosine, and Ceramides to hydrate, brighten, and firm the skin in a more balanced and effective way.

• Works Well With: Vitamin C (AM), Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, Peptides, and Sunscreen. It's an excellent moisturiser to use after most serums.
• Use With Care: When using high-strength chemical exfoliants (AHA, BHA) or retinoids, introduce this cream slowly. It can help buffer and moisturise, but always listen to your skin and avoid over-exfoliation.
• Avoid On: Do not apply to broken, irritated, or wounded skin.

• Dry & Dehydrated: Excellent. Provides both water-based (gel) and oil-based (capsules) moisture to address dryness and dehydration effectively.
• Normal & Combination: Very suitable. It provides ample nourishment without feeling heavy, balancing oilier and drier zones.
• Mature: A great choice due to its firming (Adenosine) and antioxidant (White Truffle, Tocopherol) properties that target signs of aging.
• Oily: Use with caution. While the gel base is light, the oil content may feel too rich for very oily skin types, especially in Mauritius' high humidity. A very small amount may work, primarily at night.
• Sensitive: Generally well-tolerated, but it contains essential oils for fragrance. A patch test is strongly recommended.

• Dullness and lack of radiance
• Dryness and Dehydration
• Fine lines and loss of elasticity
• Uneven skin texture
• Compromised or tired-looking skin barrier

• Scent Intensity: 3/5. Noticeable upon application but fades over time.
• EU Allergens Declared: Contains Limonene, Linalool, Hexyl Cinnamal, and Citronellol, which are potential allergens derived from the fragrance components.
• Recommendation: A patch test is essential for anyone with fragrance sensitivity or known allergies.

• Who should use with caution: Individuals with very oily, acne-prone skin or a known sensitivity to fragrances and essential oils.
• Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: No specific contraindications are listed, but as it contains a complex blend of botanicals and actives, it is always best to consult with your doctor before introducing new skincare products during this time.
• Patch Test Protocol: Before first use, apply a pea-sized amount to a clean, small area of skin, like behind your ear or on your inner jawline. Wait 24-48 hours. If you experience any redness, itching, or irritation, do not use the product on your full face.
• If Irritation Occurs: Stop use immediately. Cleanse the area with a gentle cleanser. Apply a simple, soothing barrier cream for a few days. If the reaction persists, consult a professional.

• Texture: A unique dual-phase texture. It starts as a bouncy, hydrating gel and transforms as the oil capsules burst, creating a silky, nourishing cream that glides onto the skin.

• Scent: A refreshing and elegant aromatic blend of citrus and floral notes.
• pH: Not publicly disclosed by the brand, but typically formulated within a skin-friendly range of 5.0 - 6.5.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Note: Contains several ingredients that may pose a risk for those with fungal acne, including various oils and esters like Glyceryl Stearate. Not considered FA-safe. Individual responses will vary.

• Issue: It feels a bit heavy or greasy.
  Solution: You are likely using too much. Reduce the amount to a small pea-size. Apply to slightly damp skin to help it spread thinner. Reserve for PM-only use in very humid weather.
• Issue: The product is pilling or balling up.
  Solution: This usually happens from applying too much product or not waiting long enough between skincare steps. Wait a full 1-2 minutes before applying sunscreen or makeup on top.
• Issue: My skin feels sensitive after application.
  Solution: This could be a reaction to the fragrance. Stop use and perform a patch test. Avoid layering it with other strong actives like exfoliants or retinoids on the same night until your skin adjusts.

• Humid Summer: This cream can feel quite nourishing. Use a smaller amount during the day, especially if you have combination or oily skin. It may be perfect as a PM-only moisturiser during the most humid months.
• Drier Winter & Air-Conditioning: It is an excellent choice for combating the dryness caused by indoor AC or the less humid winter season. Use a standard pea-sized amount to keep skin plump and hydrated.
• Sun Exposure: Its antioxidant properties are beneficial for skin exposed to the sun, but it is not a substitute for sunscreen. Use it in the evening to help soothe and replenish your skin after a day outdoors.

This cream is an excellent choice if your primary concerns are dryness, dullness, and adding a luxurious, nourishing step to your routine.

• If you need intensive wrinkle repair: consider a retinal/peptide eye cream.
• If you have extremely sensitive skin or are prone to fungal acne: look for a fragrance-free, essential oil-free gel/cream with a simpler ingredient list.
• If you have very oily skin: a lighter, oil-free gel moisturiser might be more comfortable, especially for daytime use in Mauritius.

This is aggregated sentiment and should be considered anecdotal.

• "The texture is so unique and luxurious. I have dry, dull skin and this makes me look so glowy and feels so nourishing without being heavy. It's my go-to winter and night cream." - Paraphrased from a YesStyle review (2024-05)
• "It's a beautiful cream and it really does hydrate well. My only issue is the scent. It's quite strong, so if you're sensitive to fragrance, definitely get a sample or patch test first. It didn't irritate me, but I prefer unscented." - Paraphrased from Reddit, r/AsianBeauty (2024-02)
• "I have combo skin and this works for me at night. In the morning, under makeup in the heat, it's a bit too much and can make me look greasy by midday. But for a night treatment, it leaves my skin super soft." - Amazon customer review (2024-08)

1. Is this cream good for oily skin?
   It can be too nourishing for very oily skin, especially for daytime use in a humid climate. If you have oily skin, we recommend using a very small amount only at night, or opting for an oil-free gel moisturiser instead.
2. Can I use this around my eyes?
   While it is not specifically an eye cream, you can gently pat a tiny amount onto the orbital bone (the bone under your eye). Avoid getting it too close to the lash line or on the mobile eyelid.
3. Will this make my skin "whiter"?
   No. The "Brightening" function, approved by the MFDS, refers to evening out your skin tone by helping to fade dark spots and boosting overall radiance. It will not change your natural skin colour.
4. Why does it have capsules?
   The capsule technology is designed to protect the oil-soluble ingredients, keeping them fresh until you massage them into your skin. This ensures you get the full nourishing benefit upon application.

• Best For: Those with normal to dry, dehydrated, or mature skin looking for a luxurious, nourishing moisturiser that imparts a healthy glow.
• Key Benefits: Deeply moisturises and nourishes, brightens dull skin tone, and helps improve skin firmness and elasticity over time.
