Product FAQs
What are the benefits of using a moisturiser?
Moisturising is essential to support the skin's natural moisture barrier so that the skin can better protect itself against harsh environmental stressors. Using the right cleanser for your skin type will help restore comfort after cleansing and support a healthy skin barrier.
How often should I use a moisturiser?
Moisturiser should be applied twice daily, in the morning and at night to maintain optimal skin hydration.
Is Ultra Rich Moisturiser Cream suitable for all skin types?
This product is suitable for all skin types, specifically providing hydration for dry to very dry skin.
Why moisturise?
Achieving optimal skin hydration is important for both healthy-looking skin and comfort. Dryness in the skin occurs when the skin is producing too little oil, as opposed to dehydration which occurs when there is excessive water loss from the skin. Both oily and dry skins can be dehydrated.
Ultraceuticals moisturisers are designed to tackle dehydration and work to nourish the skin's surface layers. It is important to choose a moisturiser that is suitable for your skin type. Thicker, creamier moisturisers (that contain more oils) are normally recommended for drier skin types, while oilier skin types might prefer lighter lotions (that contain fewer oils).
It is recommended to use a moisturiser twice daily, to help maintain skin health and general function of our Natural Moisturising Factor (NMF). If we don’t, the skin can become sensitive, flaky, dehydrated and damaged increasing the possibility of skin reactions and premature skin ageing.
What makes Ultraceuticals moisturisers different?
Ultraceuticals offers a range of advanced moisturisers of a variety of textures to suit all skin types. Our specially formulated products are designed to hydrate and nourish your skin, leaving you with a healthy, radiant glow.
What are the key traits of an Ultraceuticals moisturiser?
INFUSE: We infuse the skin with ingredients that will replace what occurs in the skin naturally - the NMF (Natural Moisturising Factor) which is using ingredients such as Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium PCA, Glycerine which will assist in maintaining hydration.
NOURISH: Then nourish the skin with ingredients such as ceramides, cholesterol, linoleic and linolenic acid to help replace the skin with lipids that occur naturally in the skin.
RETAIN: Along with these, we use ingredients that will help to retain, that is to lock and seal moisture and lipids into the skin, not occlusively just to still let the skin breathe but help to maintain hydration.
How long does skin remain hydrated following use?
Skin remains hydrated up to 24hrs after application.
