A cream becomes part of your routine through its texture, the way it feels on your skin and how easy it is to use. Choosing becomes simpler when you know what to look for.
01 · The role of hydration
A moisturiser helps skin retain water and can soften the appearance of some fine lines. The AAD dermatologists’ view.
02 · Realistic expectations
No cosmetic addresses every sign of ageing. Choosing for your skin type and one particular concern gives your routine a clearer focus. Guidance on choosing.
03 · Light matters too
The AAD recommends broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30. A moisturiser without a stated SPF does not replace sunscreen. Protection and everyday care.
04 · Know your formula
Read the INCI list and follow the instructions, taking your sensitivities into account. The Desylab face cream page includes the updated composition, with shea butter, Bulbine frutescens extract and sodium hyaluronate.
