Most ceramide moisturisers are heavy creams. This UpCircle ceramide gel moisturiser is a light, cooling gel instead. It feels fresh the second it touches your skin, sinks in with no film and no shine, and leaves nothing for your SPF or makeup to fight with.

Inside are Ceramide NP and upcycled maca root peptides, tucked into tiny lipid capsules that help protect them and carry them where they’re needed. Glycerin, upcycled myo inositol and upcycled bilberry seed oil keep skin hydrated and soft. The cooling feeling comes from an odourless ingredient rather than menthol, and there’s no added fragrance, so nothing minty or perfumed.

It’s made with mature, oily, combination and changeable skin in mind, including skin that runs warm or feels different from week to week during perimenopause and menopause. If rich creams feel like too much, this is a lovely lighter way to wear ceramides, and a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves skincare. A gel spreads further than a cream, so you need less than you’d think.

Use morning and evening on clean, dry skin. Smooth one to two pumps over face and neck, after your serum and before SPF. Patch test first if your skin is reactive.
