Repairs Skin Barrier & Locks in Moisture — Lightweight & Non-Greasy
A lightweight 10% Ceramide moisturiser that rebuilds the skin barrier and locks in moisture after active ingredient use. Non-comedogenic and suitable for all skin types including oily — essential as the final evening step.
"No greasy feeling at all. My skin stays hydrated and comfortable all day." — Huma
Skin Type: All skin types, including oily and acne-prone — this formula is lightweight and non-comedogenic, not heavy or greasy.
Targets: Damaged skin barrier, dryness and dehydration, and the barrier stress caused by active ingredient use.
Suited to: Ages 16+.
Essential if you use any active ingredient — Salicylic Acid, Retinol, Glycolic Acid or Kojic Acid all tax the skin barrier as they work. This moisturiser is the repair step that makes consistent active ingredient use sustainable.
Do not use on: open wounds, active sunburn, or broken skin.
Consult your doctor before use if: you are pregnant or breastfeeding, as a general precaution before introducing any new product.
STEP 1
Cleanse and apply any serum first — this moisturiser is always the second-to-last step, sealing in whatever treatment came before it.
STEP 2
Take a sufficient amount and massage into face and neck until fully absorbed. The gel formula absorbs quickly without residue.
STEP 3
In the morning, finish with SPF 50 Sunscreen as the final step.
When to Use: Morning and evening, every day — the universal final step regardless of which serums or actives you're using.
Pairs with everything:
Common mistake to avoid: Skipping this step because skin feels oily. Oily skin still needs barrier support — skipping moisturiser after an active ingredient often triggers more oil production as skin compensates for barrier stress, not less.
SkinFactor's 10% Ceramide Complex Moisturiser is more than a simple barrier cream. Alongside Ceramides for barrier repair, this lightweight, fast-absorbing gel formula also delivers Niacinamide, Snail Secretion Filtrate, Centella Asiatica, Aloe Vera and Green Tea Extract — a genuinely comprehensive repair-and-hydration formula in one non-greasy step.
Why this formula does more than "just moisturise":
Ceramide NP rebuilds the lipid structure that holds skin cells together, preventing moisture loss and protecting against environmental damage. Aquaxyl works at a deeper level still, increasing the skin's own ability to produce and retain moisture from within rather than just sitting on the surface — hydration that improves the longer it's used. Hyaluronic Acid draws additional water into the skin for plump, smooth hydration. Niacinamide strengthens the barrier further while regulating oil — relevant even in a moisturiser, since oily skin often needs barrier support most. Snail Secretion Filtrate supports skin repair and recovery, particularly useful after active ingredient use. Centella Asiatica and Green Tea Extract calm inflammation and provide antioxidant protection, while Aloe Vera adds an additional layer of soothing hydration. Panthenol (Vitamin B5) ties it together, repairing and strengthening sensitive or compromised skin.
Why this matters after active ingredients:
Salicylic Acid, Retinol, Glycolic Acid and Kojic Acid all work by accelerating cell turnover or exfoliation — which means they also tax the skin barrier. This moisturiser is formulated specifically to repair that barrier overnight and throughout the day, making it possible to use stronger actives more consistently without the dryness, flaking and irritation that eventually causes most people to stop.
Built for Pakistani skin conditions:
Pakistan's hard water, heat, air conditioning and pollution all accelerate barrier breakdown and moisture loss. A lightweight, non-greasy moisturiser that genuinely repairs rather than just sits on the surface is essential daily maintenance — not an occasional treatment.
As part of a complete routine:
This moisturiser is the universal final step across every SkinFactor routine — morning after your serum and before SPF, evening after your treatment serum of choice. It appears as "the mandatory pairing" across the Salicylic Acid, Retinol, Vitamin C, Kojic Acid and Niacinamide ranges because barrier support is the one thing every active ingredient routine needs regardless of the specific concern being treated.
Who it is for:
All skin types, including oily and acne-prone skin — this formula is lightweight and non-comedogenic, not heavy or greasy. Essential for anyone using active ingredients, and equally valuable as a standalone daily moisturiser for dry, dehydrated or barrier-compromised skin. Suitable from age 16 and above.
Ceramides and Aquaxyl rebuild your skin barrier in a lightweight formula built for oily and combination skin.
Barrier repair effects noticeable within days of consistent use.
Reduced sensitivity and better tolerance of active ingredients.
Ceramides and Niacinamide work together to reinforce the barrier.
