Are you looking to restore moisture to your skin without adding oil or heavy textures? Fresh has just what you need! Using the Queen of Flowers, this lightweight lotion instantly replenishes your thirsty skin.

The Weightless Hydrating Emulsion

Hydration is at the heart of skincare, regardless of skin type. Your skin receives instant and long-lasting moisture in this fluid version of the rose-deep hydrating range. Created to fit oily and combo skin needs, it deeply hydrates the skin while smoothing the texture & reduces pores. The emulsion is a non-comedogenic formula quickly absorbed, making it perfect for use before makeup.

What's Inside?

Below are the key ingredients in Fresh Rose Deep Hydration Balancing Emulsion:

• Damask rose extract: This natural source of hydration is proven to boost our skin's natural production of hyaluronic acid. This results in a better moisture level.
• Yarrow extract: Sourced from Eastern Europe, it helps to smooth and refine the skin's texture.
• Rose flower oil: Distilled from the rosebud, this oil helps to hydrate, soothe, and balance the skin.
• Lastly, Hyaluronic acid: In this formula, the brand has selected a lower molecular weight, allowing the active to penetrate deeper into the skin. Hyaluronic acid can hold upto 1000x its weight in water and is used to achieve youthful and plump skin.

My Experience

Having combination skin can be a headache sometimes. That was until I tried this hydrating emulsion. Perfectly balanced between hydrating and comforting, this lightweight moisturizer immediately gave my skin a soothed and hydrated feeling. The skin absorbs the emulsion in a couple of seconds and leaves a silky smooth canvas for makeup.

I recommend this emulsion to oilier skin types as it is light and doesn't cause any breakouts. The Rose deep hydrating emulsion would also work great as a first face cream for young women or those that want a quick and easy way to keep healthy skin. This product is also available in a cream texture for those with a drier skin type or who wish to use it as a night cream. The emulsion pairs up wonderfully with serums and smells delightful!

Clé De Peau Beauté Protective Fortifying Emulsion

When searching for a day cream, I usually tend to focus on 2 points: protection and moisturization. I complete my routine with a serum and mask to treat specific skin conditions. A day cream reinforces the barrier between us and the world.

This cream is all about moisture and protection, so my hopes were high. With a deeply moisturizing texture, it shelters skin from damage caused by dehydration and UV rays. I found this cream great as a makeup base as it has a refining action, leaving your skin smoother and non-greasy. It is suitable for normal to oily skin. Also, it helps support your skin’s ability to restore and protect itself.

Signs Your Skin Barrier Is Suffering

When your skin barrier is damaged it rarely goes unnoticed. It can result in many different ways but generally, the skin shows dryness, dullness, redness, sensitivity, and breakouts. The barrier itself is very similar to a brick wall, skin cells glued together by an oily “cement”. In addition, it helps keep your skin hydrated and nourished.

Where The Magic Happens

Inside this fortifying emulsion is a rich and advanced formula enhanced with Clé De Peau's complexes:

Skin-Empowering Illuminator: Capturing and reflecting light from the inside and out gives a bright, youthful skin. Five Key Ingredients:

• Platinum Golden Silk cocoons.
• Theanine: Relaxes the skin.
• Japanese Pearl Shell Extract: A rich source of amino acids.
• Leaves of Perilla: lower temperature & soothe.
• Lastly, Angelica acutiloba Extract. It is part of herbal medicines for a variety of ailments.

Time Tune Complex Day: This offers optimal hydration throughout the day.

Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract, Vitamin C Ethyl, and Crataegus Monogyna Flower extract: Reduce spots, freckles and uneven skin tone that can be caused by UV exposure.

Peony Root Extract: boosts healthy cell regeneration.

Lastly, Hyaluronic acid: Deeply moisturizing it plump's the skin.

My Thoughts

After using Protective Fortifying Emulsion for over two months now, I would 100% recommend it to those of you that may suffer from discomfort or sensitive skin and want high, daily protection. It's a true dream to find a cream with so many restoring and moisturizing actives inside.

I have noticed my skin feels comfortable and protected against stressors (pollution, dut). My skin has a youthful-looking glow. It is smooth, supple, and feels healthy overall. I have noticed the redness from dry patches is reduced. Also, I see there is a version of this emulsion with SPF that is available in the USA but in Canada, this same emulsion is available without SPF. I bought the version with SPF when I last visited the States and found no performance difference. Only that I do not use the version with SPF during the night. overall, my skin looks radiant and supple since I started using this emulsion. It is my everyday moisturizer that is lightweight and keeps my skin hydrated all day.

If we treat our skin with the love and care it deserves, it will blossom. Many skincare products make it easy to forget healthy skin essentials: moisture. Therefore, if you moisturize your skin correctly, inside and out, it is proven to prevent signs of ageing, dullness and discomfort.
