The most important ingredients

Hyaluronic acid

A molecule produced by the body that can bind up to 1,000 times its weight in water.

Function: Can intensively supply the skin with moisture, plump up fine lines and strengthen the skin barrier.

Peptides

Short chains of amino acids - signalling molecules for the skin.

Function: Can support resilience and skin structure, ease wrinkles and firm the skin.

Vitamin E

Fat-soluble antioxidant - protects the cell membranes and works synergistically with vitamin C.

Function: Can neutralise free radicals, strengthen the skin barrier and boost the effect of vitamin C.

Squalane

Skin-identical moisturising factor - the skin produces squalene itself, and production declines with age.

Function: Can care for the skin without clogging pores and replenish the natural lipid layer.

Application

Apply a pea-sized amount to clean skin of face and neck. Distribute evenly.

Morning and evening use, before sunscreen.

Frequently asked questions

Why a separate moisturiser from Colorescience?

Coordinated with the Colorescience sun protection products. Strengthens the skin barrier so the subsequent SPF sits more evenly and the actives can work optimally.

How does this moisturiser differ from standard creams?

This cream is specifically formulated as a barrier repair product: it contains peptides and hyaluronic acid that not only supply moisture but actively rebuild the skin structure. Standard creams mainly seal in existing moisture.

How do I use this correctly with the 1-Step Cleanser?

The ideal routine: use the 1-Step Cleanser, pat dry gently (do not rub!), then apply the Essential Moisturizer immediately while skin is still slightly damp. This locks in the moisture and activates the barrier-rebuilding ingredients optimally.

Does this moisturiser work well under Colorescience sun protection?

Exactly what it is formulated for. Applied before the moisturising cream, your skin barrier is stabilised and supplied with moisture so the SPF sits evenly, blends easily and protects effectively.

Is this cream also suitable for skin without barrier damage?

Yes, even if your barrier is not acutely damaged, every skin type benefits from barrier stabilisation - especially after sun exposure, cold, or dry air. Prevention is always better than repair.

About the brand

Colorescience specialises in mineral sunscreen - from tinted fluids and powder brushes through to lip care with SPF. Because the products filter in a purely mineral way, they sit on top of the skin rather than penetrating into it. This makes them particularly well tolerated by sensitive skin or skin prone to redness. Many products combine UV protection with a light tint, so that you take care of skincare and make-up in one step.
