Huxley Secret of Sahara Cream ;Fresh AND More 50ml

Product Information

Other tasks include helping the product to absorb faster and deeper into the skin (penetration enhancer), making the product spread nicely over the skin (slip agent), and attracting water (humectant) into the skin. Knowing how Asian skincare has been developed these last couple of decades, I still feel like they stick fairly close to their roots of results and making sure their skincare formulations have ingredients like preservatives and synthetics that are proven to work. If the former attracted me with its cute packaging, the latter tempted me with its simplistic approach to skincare. A watery gel essence made with 85% organic Sahara cactus extract that nourishes and helps retain skin moisture.

Ceramides strengthen the delicate skin around the eyes, ensure moisture barrier is healthy and sound and plump out the first lines and wrinkles over time. I have sensitive, acne prone and oily skin and this hasn't fuelled my skin to break out, nor did my skin became dehydrated again after a while - it happens when I try gel moisturisers, which clearly are not "strong" enough fro my dehydrated skin!

If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. If you have spotted ethylhexylglycerin on the ingredient list, most probably you will see there also the current IT-preservative, phenoxyethanol. Although I do layer on serums and ampoules and masks beforehand, I still feel that this cream makes a difference when it comes to hydrating, and locks all the good stuff in well.

Arginine usually has a positive charge (cationic) that makes it substantive to skin and hair (those are more negatively charged surfaces) and an excellent film former.

After initially testing Huxley our crush continued thanks to the luxurious quality, the tight range, and the heavenly scent created by a 90-year old Swiss perfumery. I have absolutely no tightness or dryness after using it, even though it completely removes everything, including my oil cleanser.

It usually has to be neutralized with a base (such as sodium hydroxide) for the thickening to occur and it creates viscous, clear gels that also feel nice and non-tacky on the skin.

Protection against dehydration: Its natural ingredients help maintain hydration and protect skin against dehydration. It’s essentially an anti-aging superstar loaded with extremely high levels of linoleic acid and vitamin E.

I apply a little more than usual, then use my knuckles to lightly knead the pressure points of the face – orbital bones, cheek bones, jaw, forehead, nose bridge, middle of the chin for a few minutes. It’s an ingredient whose safety hasn’t been questioned so far by anyone (at least not that we know about).

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. It’s definitely a smart thing to avoid with sensitive skin (and fragrance of any type - natural is just as allergic as synthetic, if not worse! I’m trying to think back to the last time I was so excited about a skincare line that I ended up getting sucked in and purchasing the whole routine. It’s that time of year again when we all make and break habits over bubbling champagne and a resolute attitude. Super common little helper ingredient that helps products to remain nice and stable for a longer time.
