This daily moisturiser is designed to deliver intense, lasting hydration while strengthening a compromised skin barrier. Its lightweight, cream-gel texture makes it a versatile choice for Mauritius, providing deep moisture without feeling heavy or greasy in the heat and humidity.

Dealing with skin that feels tight and dry, yet can't handle heavy creams? This is a common issue when your skin's moisture barrier is weakened.

• Best For: Dry, Dehydrated, Combination, and Sensitive Skin.
• Key Benefits: Deeply moisturises, calms redness and irritation, strengthens the skin's natural barrier, and helps improve skin elasticity.
• Texture: A soft, lightweight cream-gel that absorbs quickly without a sticky or greasy residue.
• What to Expect: Immediately, skin feels softer and more comfortable. With consistent use, you can expect reduced flakiness, less redness, and a stronger, more resilient skin barrier.

1. Cleanser: Start with a clean base.
2. IUNIK Beta Glucan Cream: Apply a pea-sized amount to your face and neck.
3. Sunscreen (AM) / Thicker Layer (PM): Protect your skin during the day. At night, you can apply a slightly thicker layer of this cream as a nourishing final step.

Mindful Tip: Already using a moisturiser you like? Finish it first before opening a new one to reduce waste.

• Minimalist (3 Steps): 1) Cleanser → 2) IUNIK Beta Glucan Cream → 3) Sunscreen (SPF 30+)
• Optional Additions: If your skin is very dry, you can apply a hydrating toner or serum (like a hyaluronic acid or snail mucin essence) before the cream.
• Wait Times: Allow the cream to absorb for 1-2 minutes before applying sunscreen to prevent pilling.

• Minimalist (3 Steps): 1) Cleanser (use an oil cleanser first if removing makeup or water-resistant sunscreen) → 2) IUNIK Beta Glucan Cream → 3) A facial oil (optional, if extra dry).
• Optional Additions: On nights you use an exfoliant (AHA/BHA) or retinol, apply this cream afterwards to soothe and moisturise. On other nights, you can apply this cream over a targeted serum (e.g., for brightening).
• Pro Tip: Apply a slightly thicker layer of the cream as a simple sleeping mask 2-3 times a week for an intense hydration boost.

• Amount: A pea-sized amount is enough for the entire face. Add a little more for the neck.
• Frequency: Use daily, both morning (AM) and evening (PM).
• Method: After cleansing and applying any serums, warm the cream between your fingertips and gently smooth it over your face and neck. Pat gently to aid absorption.
• Under Makeup: This cream creates a smooth, hydrated base for makeup. Let it absorb for 1-2 minutes before applying primer or foundation to prevent pilling. Some find it gives a dewy finish, so if you prefer a matte look, a mattifying primer or powder may be needed.

This cream is gentle enough for daily use alongside active ingredients.

• Daily: AM and PM, as the moisturising step in your routine.
• Example Week with Actives (PM Focus):
  • Mon: Exfoliant (AHA/BHA) → IUNIK Cream
  • Tue: Hydrating Serum → IUNIK Cream
  • Wed: Retinoid → IUNIK Cream
  • Thu: Hydrating Serum → IUNIK Cream
  • Fri: Exfoliant (AHA/BHA) → IUNIK Cream
  • Sat: Hydrating Serum → Thicker layer of IUNIK Cream (as sleeping pack)
  • Sun: Retinoid → IUNIK Cream
• Rule: This cream is excellent for "buffering." You can apply it after strong actives like retinoids or acids to reduce irritation and support your skin barrier.

• Immediately: Skin feels soothed, hydrated, and comfortable. Tightness and dryness are instantly relieved.
• 2-4 Weeks: You may notice a reduction in redness and sensitivity. The skin's moisture barrier begins to feel stronger and more resilient. Dry patches become less prominent.
• 4-8+ Weeks: With consistent use, skin texture appears smoother and more supple. The overall complexion looks healthier and more balanced.

• Works Well With: Virtually all ingredients. It is especially beneficial when paired with potentially irritating actives like Retinoids (Tretinoin, Retinol), Vitamin C, and exfoliating acids (AHA, BHA) to calm the skin and support the barrier.
• Use Carefully With: No major conflicts. Due to its hydrating nature, if you have very oily skin, you may want to use a very lightweight serum underneath and avoid layering it with other heavy products during the day.
• Avoid On: This product is gentle, but as with any new product, avoid applying to broken or severely irritated skin without patch testing first.

• Dry/Dehydrated Skin: Excellent. This is its primary target. Provides deep, lasting moisture.
• Sensitive Skin: Excellent. Formulated to be gentle and soothing, it helps calm redness and fortify a compromised barrier.
• Combination Skin: Very good. It's lightweight enough for oilier T-zones but hydrating enough for drier cheeks. Use a smaller amount on oily areas.
• Oily Skin: Good, especially as a night cream or if your skin is dehydrated from acne treatments. Some may find it a bit too moisturising for daytime use in high humidity, but its non-greasy finish makes it work for many.

• Dehydration and Dryness: Its core function is to provide intense moisture and prevent water loss.
• Compromised Skin Barrier: Helps repair and strengthen skin that is red, irritated, or sensitive from over-exfoliation or environmental stress.
• Redness and Sensitivity: Soothing ingredients like Centella Asiatica and Allantoin help to calm irritation.
• Dullness and Fine Lines: By deeply hydrating the skin, it helps to plump up fine lines and restore a healthy glow.

• EU Allergens: None declared by the brand.

Who Should Use With Caution: This cream is formulated for sensitive skin, but individual reactions are always possible. If you have known allergies to any of the fruit extracts listed, proceed with caution.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a pea-sized amount to a clean, small area of skin, like your inner wrist or behind the ear.
2. Wait 24 hours to observe for any signs of redness, itching, or irritation.
3. If no reaction occurs, the product is likely safe for you to use on your face. Discontinue use if irritation develops.

Teens: This is a gentle and suitable moisturiser for teenagers, especially if their skin is dry or irritated from acne treatments.

• Texture: A lightweight, smooth cream with a gel-like consistency. It spreads easily without dragging on the skin.
• Finish: Absorbs well to a natural, slightly dewy finish. It is not greasy or sticky.
• pH: The pH is not officially published, but it is formulated to be gentle and non-disruptive to the skin's natural acid mantle.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains several ingredients that may not be suitable for those with fungal acne, including Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate, and Glyceryl Stearate. A patch test is highly advised if you are prone to Malassezia folliculitis.

• Issue: Cream feels a bit heavy or greasy in the daytime.

  Fix: You might be using too much. A small pea-sized amount is sufficient. For very oily skin or in extreme humidity, try using it only at night and opt for an even lighter gel for the morning.

• Issue: Product is pilling under sunscreen or makeup.

  Fix: This usually happens from applying the next layer too quickly or using too much product. Wait a full 1-2 minutes for the cream to absorb completely before applying sunscreen or primer. Gently pat your next product on instead of rubbing.

• Issue: My skin still feels a little tight after application.

  Fix: Your skin may be severely dehydrated. Apply the cream to slightly damp skin to lock in more moisture, or layer it over a hydrating toner or essence first.

• Humid Summer: Its lightweight texture is well-suited for Mauritian humidity. Oily and combination skin types might prefer using this as a night cream, while dry skin types can use it comfortably day and night.
• Drier Winter/AC Environments: This cream is perfect for combating the dryness caused by air conditioning. You may want to layer it over a hydrating serum to provide extra moisture during the cooler, drier months.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and the heat of a car to maintain the stability of its active ingredients.

"I have dry skin. I love the beta glucan cream! It really is hydrating without being heavy and greasy. It's so soothing and nice, especially when your skin is irritated or you had a reaction to a product. It's highly recommended."

"The Beta Glucan Daily Moisture Cream has been a true savior for my hyper-sensitive, combination skin. The lightweight, silky texture feels luxurious and absorbs beautifully... It provides deep hydration, which has been a game-changer."

Fair Caveat: "I can't apply too much in am routine because it will give me a slightly greasy feeling especially when I put the sunscreen on top. Matte finish sunscreen fits well with this cream. But I will apply a bit more at night like a sleeping mask."

They prioritize transparency and a simple, honest approach to beauty, making them a favorite for those who prefer straightforward yet powerful formulations.

Beta-Glucan:

A natural polymer from mushrooms or oats that's excellent at hydrating and soothing the skin, often considered more moisturizing than hyaluronic acid.

Centella Asiatica:

Niacinamide:

A form of Vitamin B3 that helps with brightening, pore size, oil control, and barrier function.

Is this cream heavy enough for very dry, flaky skin?
While it is deeply hydrating, its texture is lightweight. For very dry or flaky skin, you might want to layer it over a hydrating serum or add a few drops of a facial oil on top, especially at night, to provide an extra layer of occlusion.

Can I use this if I have oily, acne-prone skin?
Yes, many users with oily skin enjoy this as a night cream or when their skin is dehydrated from acne treatments. Its non-greasy finish and calming ingredients can help balance the skin. However, if you are prone to fungal acne, be sure to patch test as it contains some ingredients that could be triggers.

Does this cream contain any silicones?
The older formulation contained silicones like Cyclopentasiloxane. The newer formulation listed in our INCI list (with Methyl Trimethicone) also contains a lightweight, volatile silicone. Silicones in skincare are safe and help with texture and spreadability, but some people prefer to avoid them.

Best For: Individuals with dry, dehydrated, or sensitive skin looking for a deeply moisturizing yet lightweight daily cream that calms irritation and strengthens the skin barrier.
