Experience the rejuvenating power of SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 a carefully crafted moisturising face cream designed to breathe new life into dry, sensitive, post-treatment, ageing, sagging skin.
Formulated with key ingredients known for their remarkable benefits:
Pure Ceramides (2%): These essential lipids replenish and strengthen the skin's natural barrier, helping it retain moisture and protect against environmental stressors. Ceramides improve skin texture, firmness, and resilience.

Omega Fatty Acids (2%): These fatty acids nourish and hydrate the skin, promoting a plump, youthful appearance. They also have anti-inflammatory properties, soothing sensitive or irritated skin.
As skin ages, it tends to lose its natural oils or lipids, like ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids, which are essential for it’s protective barrier. This leads to faster signs of aging and reduces the skin's ability to repair itself.

- Improves skin tones & skin radiance
- Provides enhanced hydration within 24 hours.
- Ideal for mature, ageing or compromised skin.

This helps plump and firm sagging skin, giving you a fuller, more radiant complexion with a soft, supple feel.
