Description
Does your skin feel tight after cleansing, look dull and show fine dryness lines more quickly? Then what it needs most is water. Hydra N°1 Crème, the moisturising day and night cream from the Yon-Ka Age Defense line, is developed for dry, sensitive and severely dehydrated skin. It gives your skin a deep drink of moisture along with the nourishing lipids it needs to hold on to that moisture. Normal skin that temporarily dries out from air conditioning, indoor heating or cold weather also feels instantly more comfortable.
How it works
High and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid works on several levels: it binds water at the surface and penetrates more deeply for long-lasting hydration. Imperata cylindrica, a desert plant extract, helps maintain moisture levels for longer. Shea butter and hazelnut oil nourish and soften, organic aloe vera soothes, and the 5 vitamins strengthen the natural skin barrier against external aggressions. As in most Yon-Ka skincare, the formula also contains the Quintessence complex of five essential oils (lavender, geranium, rosemary, cypress, thyme).
Texture and how to use it in your routine
The texture is satiny and absorbs quickly, without leaving a greasy film. The light floral scent of rose and jasmine turns daily care into a ritual. Use morning and/or evening on face and neck, after cleansing with Lait Nettoyant or Gel Nettoyant and after Lotion Yon-Ka PS or PNG. For a more intensive result, apply Hydra N°1 Serum first; around the eyes, pair it with Phyto-Contour. Very oily or blemish-prone skin will be better served by a lighter texture.
