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 moisturiser (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.
Our oil free face moisturiser for oily skin is uniquely designed to provide hydration without making the skin greasy. Here’s why it stands out:
- Non-greasy & Lightweight: Unlike traditional creams, this formula absorbs quickly without leaving a sticky residue.
- Deep Moisturisation: Contains amino acids from the skin’s Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) that nourish the stratum corneum and provide deep hydration.
- Non-Comedogenic Formula: Won’t clog pores, making it the best face moisturiser for oily skin and acne-prone skin.
- Soothing & Repairing: Panthenol calms irritation and supports skin healing.
- Fragrance-Free & Dermatologist-Tested: Suitable even for sensitive skin types.
Long-Lasting Hydration: Provides 72-hour moisture without a greasy feel.
How Does it Work on the Skin?
- Hydration: The 3% NMF Complex, rich in amino acids and minerals, mimics the skin’s natural moisturising factors to keep the skin deeply hydrated and nourished.
- Skin Barrier Strengthening: Panthenol (Vitamin B5) works to repair and protect the skin barrier, preventing moisture loss.
- Acne & Breakout Prevention: The best oil free moisturiser for face ensures clogged pores and breakouts are minimised.
- Reduces Redness & Inflammation: With soothing properties, it helps calm irritated skin.
- Prevents Dryness Flare-ups: Balances hydration to prevent skin from overproducing oil.
How to use?
- Cleanse: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and pat dry.
- Apply: Take a pea-sized amount and massage gently onto your face and neck.
- Daily Routine: Use morning and evening for best results.
- Follow-up: Apply sunscreen during the day if stepping out.
- Layering: Can be used under makeup or other skincare products.
