Veleda Skin Food — Nutrient Cream for the Day
It's Skin Food every day. Instead of a dense, occlusive base known from a green tube, you get a light emulsion that absorbs into a few moments and does not interfere with the makeup. The nutritional work here is done by squalan, shea butter and organic sunflower oil, and extracts from olive leaves, siblings, marigolds and camomile soothe and support the reconstruction of the protective barrier. The effect is soft, moisturised, and clearly more radiant skin — the manufacturer’s studies showed a 72% increase in hydration after 15 minutes of application.
Who's this cream for?
Will the cream work for every type of skin?
Yeah, most of them. Light consistency does not burden normal or mixed skin, and a rich set of emollients will satisfy the needs of dry and dehydrated skin. The formula does not contain lanolin or bee wax, so it is also suitable for people choosing vegan cosmetics.
When to reach for this cream instead of classic Skin Food
When you need day care. Classic Skin Food is too dense for makeup and morning routine — it works as an intervention treatment and a night mask. This cream is designed for everyday use: it quickly absorbs and leaves a matt-satin finish.
Composition and operation of key components
Which gives the skin a scuffle
Squalan is one of the best tolerated emollients in cosmetics. It corresponds to building a squalene naturally occurring in human sebum, so the skin recognizes it as its own ingredient. It absorbs rapidly, leaves no fat film, reduces water loss and smoothes the surface of the epidermis. It's non-combedogenic, which is very important with day cream.
Olive leaf extract
Olive leaves are a rich source of oleuropein — polyphenol with a strong antioxidant effect. Protects the skin from free radicals formed under the influence of radiation and impurities, supports its resistance and helps to maintain firmness. It's the ingredient that's responsible for the effect of radiation.
Shea butter and sunflower oil
Shea butter nourishes, soothes and forms a water loss-reducing layer, and organic sunflower seed oil provides linoleic acid, crucial for the recovery of the lipid barrier. It is supplemented by isoamyl laurate, a light plant emollient responsible for the silky, dry slide of cream.
Brat, naked and chamomile
This plant kit is a hallmark of Wellada. The tri-colored panty acts anti-inflammatory and supports healing, organic nagiet accelerates regeneration of the epidermis, camomile soothes redness, and rosemary improves microcirculation. Together they make the cream not only moisturizes, but also soothes the reactive skin.
Results confirmed by studies
What the manufacturer’s tests showed
In the utility study, 72% more immediate hydration was measured 15 minutes after the application. In a practical study involving 30 subjects, 93% agreed that the skin was immediately nourished, and after four weeks of twice daily use, the same 93% confirmed that the cream was rapidly absorbed.
How long do you see the effects?
Moisturization and softness are felt from the first application. To improve the condition of the protective barrier and the longer lasting effect of radiantness you need to give your skin about four weeks of regular use.
How to use cream
When and how much to put on
The cream is applied in the morning to the cleansed skin of the face, neck and cleavage, gently patting. Just the amount of pea size — the formula is concentrated and spreads well. It can also be used in the evening if the skin does not need richer care for the night.
Is cream enough as the only product
With the skin normal and mixed usually like this. Dry skin may need an earlier moisturizing serum, and during the winter months a richer night cream. In the morning it is worth to supplement the sunscreen care, because this cream does not contain UV protection.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is this cream different from classic Skin Food?
Consistence and destiny. Classic Skin Food is a dense, occlusive cream for very dry skin on the face and body, containing lanolin and beeswax. This one is light, vegan, intended solely for the face and designed for everyday use in the morning.
Does the cream work under makeup?
Yes, it is one of its main applications. It absorbs quickly and does not leave a fat film, so the foundation works well on it. It's worth waiting a moment between layers.
Is cream suitable for allergies?
The fragrance composition contains declared allergens: limonen, linalol, benzyl benzoate and citral. It is worth testing the product on a small piece of skin before the first full use.
Does the cream fill the pores?
He shouldn't. Squalan is non-combedogenic and the formula was designed as light. However, with a complexion very prone to blackheads it is worth to observe the skin reaction, because shea butter in individuals can be problematic.
METHOD OF USE
Apply a small amount of cream on the cleansed skin of the face, neck and cleavage and tap gently. Use it in the morning and, if necessary, in the evening. Fill the care with sunscreen in the morning.
