A deeply nourishing cream formulated with Black Soybean Extract and Ceramides to restore vitality, fortify the skin's moisture barrier, and improve elasticity. Its rich, buttery texture melts into the skin to relieve dryness and create a smooth, supple complexion without feeling heavy or greasy.
At-a-Glance (who it's for, what to expect) (30s)
Dealing with skin that feels tight, flaky, or looks fatigued? This cream is designed to provide lasting comfort and resilience.
- Who it's for: Best for those with dry, mature, or compromised skin types. Also suitable for normal or combination skin as a night cream, especially in air-conditioned environments.
- What it does: Deeply moisturises, strengthens the skin's protective barrier, improves skin texture, and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines.
- What to expect: Skin feels immediately softer and more comfortable. With consistent use, expect a stronger, more resilient skin barrier with improved plumpness and a healthy glow.
Quick Start (60-second routine) (essentials for beginners)
- Cleanse: Start with a clean, damp face.
- Apply Cream: Scoop a pea-sized amount of the Soybean Nourishing Cream and gently massage it over your face and neck until absorbed.
- Protect (AM) / Seal (PM): Follow with sunscreen in the morning. In the evening, this is your final step.
Mindful Tip: If you already have a moisturiser, finish it first! This cream can replace it once you're done to avoid waste.
How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (amount, frequency, and tips)
- Amount: A pea-sized amount is enough for the entire face. Add a little more for the neck.
- Frequency: Can be used twice daily (AM and PM). If you have combination skin, you might prefer it only for your PM routine.
- Method: After your serum step, take the required amount and warm it slightly between your fingertips. Gently apply it to the face and neck in upward strokes. Pat gently to aid absorption.
Pro-Tips for Best Results:
- For Very Dry Skin: Apply a slightly thicker layer at night to use it as a nourishing overnight mask.
- For Dehydrated Skin: Apply the cream onto slightly damp skin (after a hydrating toner or essence) to lock in maximum moisture.
- Under Makeup: Wait 1-2 minutes for the cream to fully absorb before applying sunscreen or primer to prevent pilling.
What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate → 8+ weeks)
- Immediately: Skin feels instantly soothed, hydrated, and relieved from tightness. The finish is nourished and glowy, but not greasy.
- Within 2-4 weeks: You may notice a visible improvement in skin texture. Dry patches and flakiness are reduced, and the skin feels consistently softer and more supple throughout the day. Your skin barrier begins to feel stronger and less reactive.
- After 8+ weeks: With consistent use, the skin appears plumper and firmer. The appearance of fine lines caused by dehydration is diminished, and the skin barrier is significantly more resilient against environmental stressors.
Compatibility Guide (what to pair it with)
This nourishing cream is designed to be a team player in your skincare routine.
- ✅ Works Well With:
- Hydrators: Excellent when layered over hydrating ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Snail Mucin, or Beta-Glucan to seal in moisture.
- Actives: Can be used in routines with Vitamin C, Niacinamide, and gentle exfoliants (AHAs/BHAs). Its barrier-supporting ingredients can help buffer the potential irritation from stronger actives.
- Retinoids: A great choice for the "sandwich method" (moisturiser -> retinoid -> moisturiser) to reduce dryness and irritation associated with retinol or retinal.
- ⚠️ Use With Caution:
- Oily/Acne-Prone Skin: While non-comedogenic, its rich texture might feel heavy on very oily skin types, especially during the day. Use a smaller amount or reserve for nighttime use.
Skin Type Compatibility (best fits and cautions)
- trockene haut (Dry): ★★★★★ (Excellent. Provides deep, lasting moisture and helps repair the lipid barrier.)
- reife haut (Mature): ★★★★★ (Excellent. Nourishes thinning skin, improves elasticity, and helps smooth fine lines.)

- fettige haut (Oily): ★★☆☆☆ (Use with caution. May feel too rich for daytime use, but can work as a night cream if skin is also dehydrated.)
Targeted Concerns (what it helps to solve)
- Dryness & Dehydration: Delivers intense moisture and locks it in to prevent water loss (TEWL).
- Compromised Skin Barrier: Fortified with Ceramides to help repair and strengthen the skin's natural defences, reducing sensitivity and redness.
- Loss of Firmness & Elasticity: Contains Adenosine and peptides from Soybean to help improve skin's bounce and firmness.

Full Safety & Patch Test Protocol (important precautions)
This product is formulated for safety and is generally well-tolerated. However, it's always wise to be cautious with new additions to your routine.
Patch Test Protocol:
- Apply a small, pea-sized amount of the cream to a clean, discreet area of skin, like behind your ear or on your inner elbow.

- Feel on Skin: Initially feels substantial and nourishing, but absorbs without a heavy or greasy residue.
- Finish: Leaves a healthy, moisturised glow and a soft, velvety feel.
- Scent: Fragrance-free.
- pH: ~5.5 (estimated), which is within the skin's natural healthy pH range.
- Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Suitability: Contains ingredients like Ethylhexyl Stearate and Glyceryl Stearate which may not be suitable for those with active fungal acne. Patch testing is recommended.
Troubleshooting Guide (common issues and solutions)
-
Issue: The cream feels too heavy or greasy.
- Solution: You might be using too much. A pea-sized amount is sufficient. Try using it only at night or on days when your skin feels particularly dry. This is common in Mauritius's humid climate.
-
Issue: I'm experiencing breakouts after starting the cream.
- Solution: This cream is rich. If you have oily or acne-prone skin, it might be too occlusive for you. Try using it less frequently or switch to a lighter gel-cream moisturiser.
-
Issue: The product is pilling (rolling up into little balls).
- Solution: Pilling usually happens from applying too much product or not allowing layers to absorb. Apply a thinner layer and wait at least 1-2 minutes before applying sunscreen or makeup on top.
Climate Fit for Mauritius (local usage advice)
This cream's rich texture makes it adaptable to our local Mauritian climate.
- ☀️ Humid Summer (November-April): This cream is ideal as a night cream for most skin types to repair and nourish the skin after a day of sun and humidity. For those with very dry skin, it can still be used during the day in a thin layer.
- 🌬️ Drier Winter (May-October): An excellent choice for both day and night use, especially for those with normal to dry skin. It provides a robust barrier against the drier air and seasonal winds.
- ❄️ Indoors / Air-Conditioning: Perfect for anyone who spends long hours in air-conditioned spaces. AC strips moisture from the skin, and this cream will create a protective barrier to prevent dehydration and tightness.

Evidence & Sources (the science behind the product)
The benefits of this cream are supported by the known functions of its key ingredients.

- Ingredient Rationale (Adenosine): Adenosine is an MFDS-approved functional ingredient for wrinkle improvement. Clinical studies have shown its ability to improve the appearance of fine lines and skin smoothness by energising the skin's surface and promoting dermal health.
- Ingredient Rationale (Soybean Extract): Rich in isoflavones and antioxidants, soybean extract has been studied for its ability to protect the skin from photoaging and support skin elasticity.

Frequently Asked Questions (your questions, answered)
- Is this cream too heavy for the Mauritian climate?
- It can be perfect, depending on your skin type and when you use it. For dry or mature skin, it's great year-round. For combination or normal skin, it's an ideal night cream or a go-to for the cooler, drier winter months. In peak summer humidity, oily types might find it too rich for daytime.
- Can I use this if I have oily or acne-prone skin?
- You can, but with caution. It's very nourishing, which might be too much for some oily skin types. It's best used as a night cream to support the skin barrier, especially if you're using drying acne treatments. If you are prone to clogged pores, we recommend patch testing first.
- Does this cream contain any fragrance or alcohol?
- No, the formula is free from both synthetic fragrances and drying alcohols (like ethanol or alcohol denat.), making it a great choice for sensitive skin.
- How is this different from the Round Lab 1025 Dokdo Cream?
- The Soybean Nourishing Cream is focused on deep nourishment, elasticity, and repair, making it ideal for dry and maturing skin. The 1025 Dokdo Cream is primarily focused on lightweight hydration and soothing, making it more suitable for normal, combination, or sensitive skin that needs moisture without richness.
