How it works

Tocopheryl Acetate is named on the ingredient panel on this cream. Tocopheryl Acetate is a stable vitamin E ester that skin converts to tocopherol. It is used as an antioxidant and a light emollient and holds up better than plain vitamin E in a formula. On this panel it sits alongside Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, Phospholipids and Allantoin. Plant oil hardened by hydrogenation. It behaves as a soft solid, so it gives balms and sticks their body and slows water loss from the surface.

How to use

  1. Use the Extreme Cream as the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum.
  2. Spread evenly on the face and pat gently with fingertips to aid absorption. To enhance absorption, warm up product by rubbing the desired amount in palm of hands, and then apply on skin.
  3. It closes the routine at night, and in the morning it is the layer sunscreen goes over.
  4. Twice a day. Do not skip it on an oily day; without a sealing layer the water the steps beneath it brought in leaves again.
