Description
The 3 Ceramide Panthenol Moisture Barrier Cream is ANUA’s answer to skin that feels tight, dry or easily upset. Sold in a 100 ml tube, it is designed to replenish moisture and support the look of a healthy skin barrier while staying non-sticky. ANUA describes the texture as hydrating without heaviness and notes that the formula completed non-comedogenic and non-irritation testing, which makes it an easy cream to use morning and night.
Key ingredients
- Three ceramides (NP, AP and EOP) – presented by the brand in capsule form to help replenish the skin’s lipid layer.
- Panthenol, 5% – a humectant and skin-conditioning ingredient associated with comfort and softness.
- Centella asiatica extract – part of a soothing complex the brand includes for skin that looks red or irritated.
- Hyaluronic acid and sodium hyaluronate – to draw moisture into the upper layers of the skin.
- Ectoin, allantoin, squalane and tremella extract – supporting ingredients for hydration and a smooth feel.
How to use
- Apply after your serum or ampoule.
- Spread an even layer over the face and neck with fingertips or a spatula.
- Use morning and evening.
- In the morning, finish with sunscreen.
Who it suits
It is a good everyday cream for dry, dehydrated and sensitive-feeling skin, and for anyone whose barrier feels stressed by cold Canadian winters, dry indoor heating or strong actives such as retinoids or exfoliating acids. Normal skin can use it year-round; oily skin may prefer a thin layer at night only.
Good to know
The formula contains fatty alcohols, which some people with breakout-prone skin prefer to avoid; introduce it gradually if that applies to you. Patch test first: apply a small amount behind the ear or on the inner forearm for a few days and stop using the product if redness, itching or stinging appears. Avoid the eye area unless the product is designed for it, and speak with a pharmacist or dermatologist if you have a known skin condition or allergy.
