Yon-Ka Nutri Defense Creme - 50ml

Does your skin feel tight in the morning, flake around the nose and cheeks or react easily to cold and wind? Then it is short on both lipids and moisture. Yon-Ka Nutri Defense Crème is the intensive nourishing cream from the Age Defense line, developed for dry to very dry and dehydrated skin that needs comfort, repair and long-lasting hydration. The French house has worked with phyto-aromatherapy since 1954: plant actives combined with essential oils.

How it works

The rich formula replenishes the lipids dry skin lacks. Organic Sacha Inchi oil (Plukenetia Volubilis) delivers omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids that support skin barrier restoration. Shea butter (Butyrospermum Parkii) and avocado oil nourish deeply and smooth rough patches. Glycerin and panthenol bind moisture and calm feelings of tightness, while antioxidant-rich vitamins such as tocopheryl acetate and niacinamide strengthen the skin's natural defences against environmental aggressors. Probiotic ferment (Lactobacillus) and alpha-glucan oligosaccharide help support a healthy skin balance.

Texture and use in your routine

The texture is soft and creamy, absorbs readily and leaves no greasy film. The signature Yon-Ka scent of essential oils, including lavender, rosemary and bitter orange, turns application into a small ritual. Use morning and/or evening after Lait Nettoyant or Gel Nettoyant and a refreshing mist of Lotion Yon-Ka PS. For very dehydrated skin, layer Hydra N°1 Serum underneath; around the eyes, choose Phyto-Contour or Nutri-Contour instead. For normal to oily skin this cream is too rich.

Frequently asked questions

Which skin type is Nutri Defense for?

For dry to very dry and dehydrated skin that quickly feels tight or irritated. If your skin is normal to combination, choose a lighter Yon-Ka cream.

How do I combine it with the Lotion?

After cleansing, mist Lotion Yon-Ka PS over face and neck, then apply the cream to still-damp skin so that moisture is better retained.

Can I use the cream around the eyes?

Avoid the immediate eye contour with this cream. Use Phyto-Contour or Nutri-Contour there, as they are developed for the thin, delicate skin around the eyes.

Nutri Defense Crème replenishes the lipids that dry skin lacks. Organic Sacha Inchi oil supplies omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids that support restoration of the skin barrier, while shea butter and avocado oil nourish deeply and smooth rough patches. Glycerin and panthenol bind moisture and calm feelings of tightness. Antioxidant-rich vitamins such as tocopheryl acetate and niacinamide reinforce the skin's natural defences against cold, wind and other environmental aggressors. Probiotic ferment (Lactobacillus) and alpha-glucan oligosaccharide help support a healthy skin balance, so skin feels calmer, suppler and more comfortable.

Morning and/or evening, cleanse with Lait Nettoyant or Gel Nettoyant, then mist Lotion Yon-Ka PS over face and neck. Take a small amount of Nutri Defense Crème, about the size of a pea, and spread it over face and neck with gentle upward movements while the skin is still damp. Massage in until fully absorbed. For very dehydrated skin, apply Hydra N°1 Serum first. Use daily for best results.

Immediately after application skin feels softened and comfortable, with no greasy film. Tightness and flaking visibly diminish and rough patches feel smoother. With daily use skin looks suppler, more even and better protected against cold and wind, with a calmer, well-cared-for appearance.
