Azulen Cream is one of our intense moisturisers with a difference. It visibly repairs skin tone and texture while working to reduce redness. Using skin-smoothing emollients to hydrate and restore the skin’s natural moisture balance, it’s perfectly suited to pigmented, sensitive/combination to dry skin.
Today we want to shine a spotlight on Azulen Cream and how it works to regenerate irritated skin, restore balance and reduce redness.
The Science
An impaired acid mantle is the culprit of most skin concerns. As we age, our acid mantle naturally breaks down but there are many factors that will impact the natural balance of our skin health. Dust, sun damage, pollutants, central heating, air conditioning and harsh products disrupt the natural pH of the acid mantle.
The good news, it can be rebuilt with products that mimic the natural biochemistry of the acid mantle. The Dr Spiller difference lies in our formulation. Most of our moisturisers are oil-based (excluding light creams) which enables the product to penetrate the skin. Water-based products sit on the skin and simply evaporate rather than hydrate.
Our Azulen Cream mimics the skin’s natural hydration process without damaging the delicate acid mantle. The biomimetic HY-TEC™ hydration barrier function emollients are non-comedogenic so it doesn’t block the pores. The natural moisturising barrier binds water for potent hydration without causing transepidermal water loss.
The result? A hydrated, calm and even skin tone that’s healthy from the inside out.
The Ingredients
The ingredients we use along with our unique formulations is what sets us apart. Nature has designed our skin to effectively ward off damaging impacts and to perfectly absorb active ingredients as well as oxygen.
Active Ingredients
Our Azulen Cream contains active ingredients azulene, bisabolol and grapeseed oil.
- Azulen is a potent active ingredient derived from chamomile that is high in protective polyphenols.
- Bisabolol is an important extract from German chamomile. Has scientifically proven anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anti-mitotic properties. It has skin whitening effects greater than arbutin and promotes collagen synthesis.
- Grapeseed oil is a nurturing botanical oil rich in biomimetic triglycerides, fatty acids, lecithin and vitamin E.
These three key ingredients penetrate the skin and provide hydration while calming and restoring the acid mantle.
Other Ingredients
Along with the active ingredients, the formulation of Azulen Cream benefits from:
- Urea, a biomimetic humectant found naturally in natural moisturising factors for increased water-binding abilities.
- Beeswax, a moisture barrier functioning skin protectant rich in biomimetic wax esters, triglycerides and fatty acids.
- Lanolin, a natural wax that contains biomimetic wax esters to provide superior moisture barrier function. Lanolin binds over 200% of its own weight in water.
- Lactic acid, a biomimitec natural moisturising factor to bind moisture for increased hydration.
Azulen has a naturally intense blue colour.
