Calecim Restorative Hydration Cream

Advanced Stem Cell-Derived Hydration for Dry, Dehydrated and Mature Skin

A deeply hydrating treatment cream powered by PTT-6® — Calecim’s proprietary conditioned media containing stem-cell-derived proteins, growth factors, cytokines and exosomes.

Calecim Professional Restorative Hydration Cream is far more than a conventional moisturiser.

At the heart of the formula is PTT-6®, a proprietary conditioned medium derived from ethically sourced umbilical cord lining stem cells. These stem cells are cultured in the laboratory and then removed, leaving behind the powerful proteins, growth factors, cytokines and exosomes they naturally produce.

The result is a unique stem cell-derived skincare technology designed to support the skin’s natural renewal processes while delivering intensive hydration.

Calecim describes PTT-6® as containing more than 3,000 proteins, including growth factors, cytokines and exosomes that act as biological signals to communicate with skin cells.

The Restorative Hydration Cream combines this regenerative skin-supporting technology with hyaluronic acid, soluble collagen, aloe vera and vitamin E to replenish dry, dehydrated and dull-looking skin.

Diane’s Tip: I often describe Calecim Restorative Hydration Cream as “a treatment in a jar”. What makes it so different from an ordinary moisturiser is the science behind the hydration — you’re not simply adding moisture to the surface of the skin; you’re using a formula containing stem-cell-derived proteins and cell-signalling factors designed to support the skin’s own hydration and renewal processes.


What Makes Calecim Restorative Hydration Cream Different?

It’s not just a moisturiser.

Most moisturisers are designed primarily to add moisture, soften the skin and support the skin barrier.

Calecim Restorative Hydration Cream takes a different approach.

Its key ingredient, PTT-6®, is a stem-cell-derived conditioned medium containing a complex mixture of naturally produced proteins and signalling molecules.

According to Calecim, PTT-6® contains:

  • More than 3,000 proteins
  • Growth factors
  • Cytokines
  • Exosomes
  • Fibronectins
  • Glycoproteins
  • Albumin
  • Soluble collagen
  • Hyaluronic acid

These components are produced by umbilical cord lining stem cells and remain in the conditioned medium after the stem cells themselves have been removed.

Importantly: it does not contain live stem cells

Calecim’s technology uses the messages and proteins produced by the stem cells, rather than putting stem cells into the skincare product.

The stem cells are cultured in a laboratory and removed from the culture medium. What remains is the conditioned medium — PTT-6® — containing the proteins, growth factors, cytokines and exosomes secreted by those cells.

This is the science that sets Calecim apart from a conventional hydrating cream.


What is PTT-6®?

PTT-6® is Calecim’s proprietary cord-lining conditioned media and the signature active technology found throughout the Calecim Professional range.

It originates from epithelial and mesenchymal stem cells found within the lining of the umbilical cord.

Calecim’s parent biotechnology company, CellResearchCorp, developed technology to isolate these stem cells and use their secreted proteins and signalling factors for regenerative research and advanced skincare.

The stem cells are placed into culture and naturally release a complex mixture of substances involved in cellular communication and tissue repair.

Once the stem cells are removed, the remaining conditioned medium contains the substances they produced.

This includes:

Growth factors + cytokines + proteins + exosomes + extracellular matrix components

Together, these are described by Calecim as the “youth messages” of the stem cells — biological signals that communicate with skin cells and support the skin’s natural renewal processes.


Why Are Stem Cell Proteins and Exosomes Important in Skincare?

As we age, the skin’s natural renewal processes become slower and its ability to maintain hydration, collagen, elastin and structural integrity changes.

Stem cells naturally produce signalling proteins and other molecules that communicate with surrounding cells.

Calecim’s technology harnesses these stem-cell-derived signalling factors and incorporates them into PTT-6®.

Calecim states that PTT-6® contains more than 3,000 proteins, including growth factors, cytokines and exosomes, which help signal cells involved in regeneration and renewal.

This is why Calecim is often described as regenerative or bio-signalling skincare, rather than simply another moisturiser.


How Does Calecim Restorative Hydration Cream Work?

Calecim Restorative Hydration Cream works on two important aspects of dehydrated, ageing and stressed-looking skin:

1. It provides immediate hydration

The formula contains hyaluronic acid, aloe vera and other moisturising ingredients to help replenish water and improve the skin’s immediate appearance.

Calecim describes the cream as delivering deep hydration, visible plumping and a dewy appearance.

2. It supports the skin’s own hydration processes

The more unusual aspect of the formula is PTT-6®.

Calecim reports that the proteins, growth factors and exosomes in PTT-6® help support the skin’s own production of hyaluronic acid.

In Calecim’s laboratory testing, PTT-6® was associated with an 83% increase in hyaluronic acid production in the cell-based assay used for the study. This is an in-vitro finding rather than a claim that every user will experience an 83% increase.

This is a key reason why the cream is different from a standard moisturiser:

It doesn’t simply add hydration — it is designed to support the skin’s own hydration mechanisms.


The Science Behind Calecim’s Conditioned Media

From Umbilical Cord Lining Stem Cells to PTT-6®

CellResearchCorp developed patented technology for isolating epithelial and mesenchymal stem cells from the discarded umbilical cord lining of new born deer. According to Calecim, this provides an ethically sourced supply of stem cells without injury to the mother or infant.

These cells are then cultured in controlled laboratory conditions.

During this process, the cells release a complex mixture of:

  • Growth factors
  • Cytokines
  • Exosomes
  • Proteins
  • Peptides
  • Fibronectin
  • Glycoproteins
  • Collagen
  • Albumin
  • Hyaluronic acid

The cells themselves are subsequently removed.

What remains is the conditioned medium — PTT-6®.

This is then incorporated into Calecim Professional skincare at carefully calibrated concentrations.


Key Benefits of Calecim Restorative Hydration Cream

Calecim Restorative Hydration Cream is particularly useful for skin that needs hydration plus advanced skin-supporting technology.

It helps to:

  • Deeply hydrate dry and dehydrated skin
  • Immediately improve the appearance of plumpness
  • Smooth the appearance of dehydration lines
  • Restore radiance to dull, tired-looking skin
  • Improve the appearance of skin texture
  • Support the skin’s natural renewal processes
  • Support the skin’s own hyaluronic acid production
  • Soothe and comfort stressed-looking skin
  • Support a healthy-looking skin barrier
  • Improve the appearance of mature, dry and fragile-looking skin
  • Complement professional aesthetic treatments and post-procedure skincare where appropriate

Calecim specifically positions Restorative Hydration Cream for all skin types, mature skin and post-procedure recovery, with daily AM and PM use recommended.


What is Actually in Calecim Restorative Hydration Cream?

PTT-6® — Cord Lining Conditioned Media

This is the star ingredient.

PTT-6® is a complex of stem-cell-derived proteins, growth factors, cytokines and exosomes, along with components including fibronectin, glycoproteins, albumin, soluble collagen and hyaluronic acid.

It is produced from umbilical cord lining stem cells, but the finished cream does not contain live stem cells.

Hyaluronic Acid

A naturally occurring substance in the skin that attracts and holds water.

Hyaluronic acid helps improve the appearance of plumpness, suppleness and fine lines associated with dehydration.

Calecim states that its PTT-6® technology can support the skin’s own production of hyaluronic acid.

Soluble Collagen

Calecim identifies soluble collagen as one of the components present in its cord-lining conditioned media.

Collagen provides structural support within the skin and contributes to the appearance of firmness and resilience.

Fibronectin

Fibronectin is a naturally occurring glycoprotein involved in the extracellular matrix.

It is one of the stem-cell-derived components identified within PTT-6® and is associated with the structural organisation of skin tissue.

Albumin

Albumin is a naturally occurring protein within PTT-6® for skin turgor (elasticity) and fullness.

Aloe Vera

Aloe vera provides additional moisturising and soothing properties and is particularly useful for skin that feels dry or stressed.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E (tocopherol) provides antioxidant and conditioning benefits while helping support the skin’s moisture-retaining properties.


Calecim Restorative Hydration Cream for Dry and Dehydrated Skin

If your skin feels tight, dry, rough, dull or increasingly difficult to keep hydrated, this is where Restorative Hydration Cream comes into its own.

Calecim describes it as a treatment for dry, dull skin lacking lustre and reports that it delivers deep hydration and visible plumping.

The difference is that hydration is only one part of the formula.

Alongside conventional moisturising ingredients, the cream delivers PTT-6® — a sophisticated stem-cell-derived protein and signalling complex.

This makes it particularly interesting for mature skin where dehydration, reduced radiance and visible signs of ageing often occur together.


Calecim for Mature and Menopausal Skin

As skin matures, it can become drier, thinner-looking and less resilient.

Hormonal changes during peri-menopause and menopause can make these changes even more noticeable, particularly when it comes to dryness, sensitivity and loss of skin comfort.

Restorative Hydration Cream can be particularly useful when the priority is deep hydration and improving the appearance of dry, mature skin.

For a more comprehensive anti-ageing approach, it can also be combined with Calecim Multi-Action Cream.

Calecim Restorative Hydration Cream After Aesthetic Treatments

Calecim’s stem-cell-derived technology was developed from research into wound healing and tissue regeneration, which is one reason the brand has become associated with post-procedure skincare.

Restorative Hydration Cream can be used as part of a post-procedure skincare routine when appropriate.

However, the timing is important.

Do not apply creams or serums to freshly treated skin unless specifically instructed to do so by your practitioner.

Calecim advises that products should only be applied once skin following an ablative procedure has fully epithelialised.

Always follow the specific aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner.


Who Is Calecim Restorative Hydration Cream For?

This is an excellent choice if your skin is:

  • Dry
  • Dehydrated
  • Tight or uncomfortable
  • Dull or lacking radiance
  • Mature
  • Thin or fragile-looking
  • Showing dehydration lines
  • Stressed by environmental factors
  • In need of intensive hydration
  • Recovering following an appropriate aesthetic procedure

It is suitable for all skin types, including mature skin, according to Calecim.

However, Calecim advises avoiding its products when you have active acne.


How to Use Calecim Restorative Hydration Cream

Apply to clean skin morning and evening, gently massaging over the face and extending down past the jawline onto the neck.

For best results, apply your products from the lightest to the heaviest texture.

For a complete Calecim routine:

1. Calecim Professional Serum
The highest concentration of PTT-6® in the Calecim skincare range.

2. Calecim Multi-Action Cream
The more corrective treatment for skin laxity, deeper lines and loss of skin density.

3. Calecim Restorative Hydration Cream
The final moisturising step to deeply hydrate and replenish dry, dehydrated skin.

Calecim specifically recommends applying Multi-Action Cream before Restorative Hydration Cream when both products are being used together.

Calecim Restorative Hydration Cream vs Multi-Action Cream

Both contain Calecim’s PTT-6® technology, but they have different primary purposes.

Restorative Hydration Cream

Best for:

  • Dryness
  • Dehydration
  • Dullness
  • Dehydration lines
  • Loss of radiance
  • Skin needing additional comfort and hydration

Multi-Action Cream

Best for:

  • Skin laxity
  • Deeper lines and wrinkles
  • Loss of skin density
  • Loss of firmness
  • More advanced visible signs of ageing

Calecim recommends using the two together when additional hydration is required: Multi-Action Cream first, followed by Restorative Hydration Cream.


How Quickly Will I See Results?

You may notice an immediate improvement in hydration and plumpness after application.

Calecim’s product information includes before-and-after results at two weeks and states that the skin’s renewal cycle may take approximately two to four weeks to show results, with optimal results generally observed over a longer period of consistent use.

Results will vary between individuals.


Frequently Asked Questions

Does Calecim Restorative Hydration Cream contain stem cells?

No. It does not contain live stem cells.

Instead, it contains PTT-6® — conditioned media produced by ethically sourced umbilical cord lining stem cells.

The stem cells are removed after being cultured, leaving behind the proteins, growth factors, cytokines and exosomes they have produced.

Does Calecim contain exosomes?

Yes. Calecim states that PTT-6® contains exosomes, growth factors, cytokines and more than 3,000 proteins.

These are produced by the stem cells during the conditioning process and remain in the conditioned media after the cells themselves are removed.

What are the exosomes in Calecim?

The exosomes are part of the complex mixture of biological signalling factors produced by the umbilical cord lining stem cells.

Calecim describes them as part of the cell-signalling system within PTT-6®, helping communicate biological messages to skin cells.

What is PTT-6®?

PTT-6® is Calecim’s proprietary cord-lining conditioned media.

It contains a complex combination of stem-cell-derived proteins, growth factors, cytokines, exosomes and extracellular matrix components.

It is the signature technology behind Calecim Professional skincare.

Is Calecim Restorative Hydration Cream just a moisturiser?

No — and this is one of the most important differences between Calecim and a conventional moisturiser.

It provides hydration through ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and aloe vera, but also contains PTT-6®, the stem-cell-derived conditioned media containing proteins and signalling factors designed to support the skin’s natural renewal and hydration processes.

Is Calecim good for dry mature skin?

Yes. Restorative Hydration Cream is specifically positioned for dry, dull and dehydrated skin and is suitable for mature skin.

Can I use Calecim after an aesthetic treatment?

It may be suitable as part of post-procedure skincare, but the timing depends on the treatment.

Calecim advises that creams, serums and gels should only be applied after the skin has fully epithelialised following an ablative procedure. Always follow your practitioner’s specific aftercare advice.

Can I use Calecim Restorative Hydration Cream with Multi-Action Cream?

Yes.

For skin that needs both corrective anti-ageing support and additional hydration, apply Multi-Action Cream first and Restorative Hydration Cream afterwards.


Why Choose Calecim Professional?

Calecim is unusual because its skincare technology originates from stem-cell and wound-healing research, rather than simply combining conventional cosmetic ingredients.

Its proprietary PTT-6® technology uses the substances naturally secreted by umbilical cord lining stem cells — including proteins, growth factors, cytokines and exosomes — to create a sophisticated cell-signalling skincare ingredient.

This is what makes Calecim particularly interesting for skin that is dry, mature, stressed, fragile or showing visible signs of ageing.


The Diane Nivern Verdict

If your skin needs more than a standard moisturiser, Calecim Restorative Hydration Cream is in a different category.

Yes, it hydrates.

Yes, it makes skin feel softer and look plumper.

But the real USP is what is delivering that hydration.

At its heart is PTT-6® — a proprietary conditioned medium derived from umbilical cord lining stem cells, containing a complex mixture of stem-cell-derived proteins, growth factors, cytokines and exosomes.

It is this combination of advanced stem cell science + intensive hydration that makes Calecim Restorative Hydration Cream so different.

For dry, dehydrated, mature or stressed skin, it is one of the most interesting treatment moisturisers I recommend.
