The Marine Deep Moisturizer is a face moisturizer that is formulated to restore the look of luminosity to the skin while minimizing the appearance of fine lines. Unlike many other face creams out there, this one is designed to be suitable for all skin types.
How is this possible?
It all comes down to carefully-curated ingredients. By ensuring that the cream doesn’t contain any comedogenic ingredients (meaning ingredients that clog the pores), this formula can be safely used by those with oily skin. We also make use of several lightweight hydrating ingredients. They’re capable of delivering moisture deep into dry skin but won’t weigh down oily skin. Finally, we’ve excluded any irritants from this product, meaning that even those with sensitive skin can enjoy it. It’s a win-win for all!
Let’s start with Lavelier’s signature ingredient – coral seaweed. You’ll find this extract in every Lavelier product – this is an ingredient that we firmly stand behind.
Why?
Well, many don’t realize just how special seaweed is as a plant. It can chemically protect itself from environmental damage, whether this may be UV rays, pollution, or anything else. This is why seaweed is such an abundant, and therefore easily sustainable, plant.
When applied to the skin, it offers similar qualities.
Seaweed is wonderfully hydrating and is packed with amino acids that improve the look of skin plumpness and elasticity, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles at the same time. What more could you ask for?
Retinyl Palmitate
Vitamin A is an industry favorite. It does so much for the skin, from fading the appearance of blemishes and dark spots to reducing the visibility of wrinkles.
This is an ingredient that everybody should be using, and you would struggle to find a dermatologist that would disagree with this.
However, what makes things a little tricky is that vitamin A is available in several different forms. Some can only be obtained via a prescription – these are most commonly used as an acne treatment. As we said, vitamin A is surprisingly versatile!
When it comes to over-the-counter forms of vitamin A, the two most popular options are retinol and retinyl palmitate. Retinol is stronger and faster-acting, but it’s also infamous for the side effects it produces. Expect dryness, redness, sensitivities, and breakouts while your skin adjusts to the ingredient. For some, these side effects don’t dissipate.
This is why we at Lavelier decided to go with retinyl palmitate. It may not produce instant results (we have other ingredients for that!), but, when used consistently over time, it’s just as effective as retinol. Even better, side effects with retinyl palmitate are rare. Again, our preference for gentle ingredients helps to ensure that the Marine Deep Moisturizer is suitable for all skin types.
The Marine Deep Moisturizer contains a few different botanical ingredients, but green tea leaf extract is one of our favorites.
Why?
Because numerous studies are confirming the benefits that this ingredient can have. Not only does it improve the look of skin elasticity, but it also helps to reverse the appearance of sun damage.
We recommend adding green tea extract to as many parts of your skincare routine as possible. This is why, in addition to the Marine Deep Moisturizer, you’ll also find the ingredient in our Moisture Allure Cream and our Nano Gold Serum.
Cetearyl Olivate
Now onto an ingredient that you may not have heard of before – Cetearyl olivate. Don’t worry, it’s not anything frightening! Instead, this ingredient consists of a blend of fatty acids that have been derived from olive oil, along with Cetearyl alcohol, which is one of the “good” alcohols in skincare.
What does it do for your skin?
It’s incredibly conditioning. It’ll leave your skin feeling ultra-soft and silky. Even better, it encourages faster absorption of skincare products, which helps to make our Marine Deep Moisturizer even more effective. After all, the faster a formula sinks into your skin, the less of it will evaporate into the air.
Referred to by the ancients as the “plant of immortality”, aloe vera is another skincare multi-tasker. It replenishes moisture, soothes the look of inflammation (which is why it’s such a popular sunburn ingredient), and delivers a hefty dose of nutrients to the skin.
It’s a great ingredient for all skin types, which is why we had to include it in our Marine Deep Moisturizer. You’ll also find it in the Lavelier Divine Day Defense SPF 30, the Lavelier Nano Gold Serum, and the Lavelier Hand Sanitizer.
Betaine
Time for another mystery ingredient – betaine. You’ll notice that this ingredient features near the top of the Marine Deep Moisturizer’s ingredient list, meaning that it’s quite a prominent part of the cream.
But what exactly is it?
Betaine is a modified amino acid. It does everything from moisturizing to reducing the feel of inflammation.
