Why is this different?

The NMF complex is a mixture of amino acids and other derivatives that sustain hydration in the stratum corneum (uppermost layer of skin). Acting as a non-comedogenic moisturizer (humectant mixture), it retains moisture while strengthening the skin barrier. The amount of NMF in the Stratum corneum determines how much water it can hold at a particular humidity level. Panthenol, a non oily skin hydrator prevents transepidermal water loss & also soothes skin and works well for oily/acne-prone skin.

How Does it Work on the Skin?

• 3% NMF complex is an oil-free moisturizer for oily skin that mimics the skin's NMF. Being rich in amino acids such as Serine, Alanine, Glycine, Glutamic Acid, Lysine HCl, Threonine, Arginine, Proline, Sodium PCA, Sodium Lactate, PCA, that together replicate the Natural Moisturizing factor of the skin and replenish the skin barrier.
• 0.2% Panthenol is a non oily skin hydrator that soothes skin and prevents transepidermal water loss.

How to use?

• Use a pea-sized amount of NMF Oil-free Moisturizer for oily skin, gently massage until the product is absorbed into the skin.
• Can be used twice a day, both morning and night.
• Use with Deconstruct Hydrating serum for best hydrating results.
