Advanced lipid replenishment. Intelligent hydration. Uncompromising comfort.

Merciless Moisturiser is a sophisticated, lipid-rich treatment cream formulated to replenish moisture, reinforce skin comfort and restore a smoother, more supple-looking complexion.

At the heart of the formula is a carefully balanced blend of Squalane, Hyaluronic Acid, Goji Berry Extract and nutrient-dense botanical lipids, selected to support the skin’s natural moisture barrier while improving the feel of dryness, dehydration and rough texture.

Squalane, a skin-compatible emollient with exceptional spreadability, helps replenish surface lipids and reduce moisture loss without leaving the skin feeling excessively heavy. Hyaluronic Acid acts as a powerful humectant, attracting and retaining water within the upper layers of the skin to promote a plumper, more hydrated appearance.

The formula is enriched with Argan, Borage, Apricot Kernel, Olive and Coconut Oils, creating a nourishing lipid matrix rich in essential fatty acids and skin-conditioning compounds. Together, they help soften the skin, improve suppleness and restore the silky, cushioned feel associated with a well-supported barrier.

Antioxidant-rich Goji Berry Extract is paired with Tocopheryl Acetate and Ascorbyl Palmitate, derivatives of vitamins E and C, to provide antioxidant support against environmental oxidative stress and help maintain a healthy, radiant-looking complexion.

A carefully considered addition of Retinyl Palmitate, a vitamin A ester, supports skin renewal and contributes to a smoother, more refined appearance over time, while Allantoin helps soothe and condition the skin for enhanced comfort.

The result is a moisturiser that feels indulgent yet purposeful: enveloping the skin in lasting hydration and lipid nourishment while leaving the complexion soft, resilient, luminous and exquisitely smooth.

Merciless on dehydration. Meticulous with your skin.

Suitable for all skin types.

50ml

KEY INGREDIENTS

Squalane:

A lightweight, skin-compatible lipid that helps reinforce softness, suppleness and moisture retention.

Hyaluronic Acid:

A highly effective humectant that binds water within the skin, supporting visible plumpness and hydration.

Goji Berry Extract:

Naturally rich in antioxidant compounds, helping protect the appearance of the skin from environmental stress.

Borage Oil:

A lipid-rich botanical oil valued for its high gamma-linolenic acid content and ability to support dry, compromised-feeling skin.

Argan & Apricot Kernel Oils:

Nourishing emollients that soften, condition and help improve the feel of dry or rough skin.

Retinyl Palmitate:

A gentle vitamin A ester that supports a smoother, more refined and youthful-looking complexion.

Vitamins C & E:

Antioxidant derivatives that complement the formula by helping defend against oxidative stress and supporting luminosity.

HOW TO USE

Apply 1/2 - 1 pump to clean skin after your serums or treatment products. Gently massage over the face, neck and décolletage using upward motions until fully absorbed.

Use morning and/or evening as the final moisturising step in your routine. In the morning, always follow with a broad-spectrum SPF.

For very dry or dehydrated skin, apply a slightly more generous layer in the evening for added overnight nourishment and comfort.

SENSORY NOTES

Texture:

A rich, velvety cream with a smooth, cushion-like consistency that glides effortlessly across the skin.

Skin Feel:

Nourishing and comforting on application, with a soft emollient slip from the botanical oils and squalane. It leaves the skin feeling supple, conditioned and deeply moisturised without an overly waxy or heavy finish.

Finish:

Soft, smooth and naturally luminous, with a refined satin-like finish that helps the skin appear plumper and more polished.

Absorption:

Melts gradually into the skin, leaving behind a protective, moisturising veil rather than disappearing completely on contact.

Appearance:

An elegant ivory to soft cream-coloured emulsion.

Aroma:

Mild and naturally derived from the formula’s botanical oils and ingredients, with no strong perfumed character unless fragrance has been added separately.

SAFETY AND CARE

For external use only. Avoid direct contact with the eyes and mucous membranes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with clean water.

A patch test is recommended before first use, particularly for sensitive or reactive skin. Introduce gradually if your skin is not accustomed to vitamin A derivatives.

As Merciless Moisturiser contains Retinyl Palmitate, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning and limit unnecessary sun exposure. If persistent redness, burning, itching or irritation develops, discontinue use.

Do not apply to broken, severely irritated or compromised skin. Avoid combining with multiple strong exfoliating or retinoid products in the same routine if this causes sensitivity.

Pregnancy & breastfeeding: As the formula contains a vitamin A derivative, we recommend avoiding use during pregnancy and consulting your healthcare professional before use while breastfeeding.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Keep the pump and bottle opening clean and securely closed between uses.

Keep out of reach of children.
