Esse Plus – Defence Moisturiser

Description

Lightweight cream that firms ageing skin
Gives protection from pollutants and free radicals in a nourishing but light formulation.
Prebiotics and probiotic extracts improve barrier function to firm and plump the skin.

What is it good for?

• Provides daytime protection from pollutants in a nourishing but light formulation suited to all skin types.
• Prebiotic and probiotic ingredients improve barrier function by bolstering the formation of tight junctions in skin cells.
• An extract of Devil’s Claw is used to modulate your skin’s inflammatory response, which slows the ageing process.
• A targeted extract of Kigelia is added to firm the skin and improve elasticity.

What’s in it?

• Manketti and Yangu – these two ingredients work together to help block UVA and UVB rays at a low (but natural) SPF factor of around 4.
• Prebiotics – Inulin and Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharides have been included to shift the microbial population in a direction that will reduce inflammation and boost barrier function.
• Probiotic extracts – the Defence Moisturiser uses BIOME+ LEVEL 2 + 3 probiotic Lactobacillus species to improve the beneficial microbial populations on the skin by having an anti-microbial effect on opportunistic microbes. The overall effect is to boost skin condition and plump the skin by improving hydration and T-junction activity.
• Devil’s Claw Extract – Harpagoside and related compounds permeate the stratum corneum and reduce immunoreactive compounds to help with the protection of elastin and collagen.
• Kigelia Extract – Kigelia extract has a strong firming effect on the skin. Results are seen after two weeks of continuous use.
• Low Molecular Mass Hyaluronic Acid – the Hyaluronic Acid levels in this product are high. A strong hydrating and anti-wrinkle effect will be seen.
