Plus Cream | Essential

Dry, Alpine dry skin has a need that goes beyond hydration: what it lacks is not only water, but lipids. Without the right amount of oils and ceramides in its barrier, the skin loses its ability to retain moisture, becomes rough, tight, and fragile, and visibly ages sooner. This regenerating and nourishing cream has been formulated specifically to replenish those essential lipids and restore the integrity of the skin barrier from within its structure, with a combination of noble plant oils, ceramides, shea butter, and marine actives that envelop the skin in deep, long-lasting nourishment.

Formula and Benefits

Its lipid-rich blend—argan, macadamia, and jojoba oils, plant ceramides, and shea butter—replenishes the structural components of the hydrolipid barrier that Alpine dry skin does not produce in sufficient quantity. Marine collagen and elastin provide structural support and elasticity, while the prebiotic PreBiulin FOS and the active Epaline® complete the formula with a balancing and protective action that helps keep the skin more resilient and comfortable with continued use.

Active Principles

• Argan oil: an exceptionally rich Moroccan-origin plant oil in essential fatty acids, tocopherols, and squalene, with well-known nourishing, regenerating, and antioxidant properties. Provides softness, elasticity, and a silky finish without a greasy feel.
• Macadamia oil: with a lipid composition very similar to that of sebum, it integrates easily into the skin barrier, providing nourishment, flexibility, and an immediate comfort sensation especially appreciated on very dry skin.
• Jojoba oil: technically a liquid ester with high skin affinity; it nourishes, softens, and stabilizes the hydrolipid barrier without clogging pores or leaving a heavy residue.
• Plant ceramides: essential structural lipids of the skin barrier that help seal the spaces between cells, reduce transepidermal water loss, and restore the protective function of dry or fragile skin.
• Shea butter: a source of repair lipids with a high emollient capacity that delivers intense nourishment, softness, and protection against dehydration and external aggressors.
• Marine collagen and elastin: marine-origin actives that provide structural support, improve skin elasticity and flexibility, and help contribute to firmer, smoother, and visibly younger-looking skin.
• Epaline®: an active with protective and rebalancing properties that helps support the well-being of dry skin and strengthens its resistance to the environment.
• PreBiulin FOS (plant prebiotic): promotes balance in the skin microbiome, strengthening the skin’s natural defenses for a more stable barrier and a reduced tendency toward reactivity and irritation.

How to Use

Apply to clean skin of the face, neck, and décolleté with a light massage to help the absorption of the lipid actives. It can be used in the morning and/or at night depending on the skin’s needs.
