KEY INGREDIENTS
Multi-Weight Hyaluronic Acid
Draws moisture into the skin to instantly plump and deeply hydrate for a soft, supple complexion.
Vitamin B5
Also known as panthenol, vitamin B5 helps the skin to retain and regenerate moisture for visibly plumper skin.
Natural Moisturising Factors (NMFs)
A unique combination of natural components in your skin (sodium PCA, glycerin, urea, proteins, sugars, 15 different amino acids, lactic acid, and creatine) which bind and hold moisture for optimal skin hydration.
Saskatoon Berry
Packed full of wonder-antioxidants called anthocyanins (pronounced 'ANtho-SYa-nins'), this Canadian superberry can help to block the enzyme which breaks down hyaluronic acid, therefore preserving the skin's natural moisture levels for visible plumpness.
Soy Extract
A natural and potent antioxidant, soy extract helps to stimulate the skin’s natural production of hyaluronic acid and collagen for hydrated, more youthful-looking skin.
Multi-Ceramide Complex (with essential lipids)
A unique combination of ceramides (alongside phytosterol (pronounced 'fee-ta-STE-rol) and fatty acids) which mimic the skin’s natural lipid barrier to intensely restore and nourish.
Midnight Antioxidant Complex
Combining a cell-repairing peptide and purple superfood antioxidants (saskatoon berry and dragon fruit extract), this complex helps to effectively neutralise the visible ageing effects of free radicals. It also helps to prevent damage to the skin cells and proteins.
Dragon Fruit Extract
Derived from the night-blooming cactus of Mexico, dragon fruit extract provides exceptional antioxidant protection while lifting and toning the complexion.
This naturally occurring molecule in the body works synergistically with previously applied retinol / retinal serums to encourage the production of hydrating hyaluronic acid.

Hydr8 B5 Intense:
Unlock your skin’s true hydration potential like never before. Unlike most hyaluronic acid serums, Hydr8 B5 Intense uses superior multi-weight hyaluronic acid, panthenol and Natural Moisturising Factors (NMFs) to deliver dramatic hydrating skin results, both immediately and over time.
The innovative addition of NMFs binds and holds immediate moisture for optimal skin hydration while supporting the skin long-term to maintain its own hyaluronic levels.
The addition of antioxidant powerhouse, saskatoon berry, works to fight off the dehydrating and ageing effects of free radicals, as well as inhibiting the enzyme which breaks down excess hyaluronic acid in the skin. This leaves the upper layers overflowing with hyaluronic acid for an ultimate plumped-up, youthful-looking complexion.
Advanced Night Restore:
The perfect cream for overnight moisture restoration. Ceramides are essential lipids (natural fatty acids) that are present in the skin's top protective layer - also known as the skin barrier. Their main function is to help prevent moisture from getting out and external stressors from getting into the skin. Within the skin barrier, alongside ceramides, other lipids such as cholesterol and phytosterols (pronounced 'fee-ta-STE-rols) also reside.
When ceramides are used in skincare, they must be combined in an optimised ratio with both cholesterol and fatty acids. This is so they can help to effectively replenish the lipids that occur naturally within the skin. Our extensive research into ceramide combinations has resulted in our optimised blend of ceramides 1 and 3, phytosterol (vegan cholesterol) and fatty acids in a 3:1:1:1 ratio. This has been scientifically proven to accelerate barrier recovery.[3]

Due to rapid cell turnover promoted by vitamin A use, sometimes skin can feel a little drier than usual. This makes Advanced Night Restore the perfect complement to vitamin A use - ensuring you get all the power of the vitamin A alongside the most comforting and nourishing moisturisation experience.
Does Advanced Night Restore come with a spatula for application?
+
As part of our comprehensive sustainability strategy, we have decided to remove all plastic spatulas that were previously provided with some of our products. We do, however, offer a reusable metal spatula on our website as a more sustainable alternative to plastic spatulas.
