Specially formulated for sensitive skin with Ultra Calm Technology and Natural Lipids.

Ultra Calm Technology is a natural active, which works on multiple levels to restore optimal condition to sensitive skin.

• It soothes irritated skin by deactivating inflammatory responses to irritants.
  
• It restores hydration by boosting the levels of NMF (natural moisturising factors) in the skin barrier, which attract and hold on to water.
  
• It strengthens the skin by optimising the organisation of the corneocyte cells and extracellular lipids for a tight, secure construction.
  
• It helps rebalance the skin’s microbiota by inhibiting undesirable biofilms from forming on the surface of the skin.
  

One of the most important qualities of the skin barrier is the lipid layer – a matrix of special fats which bond our skin cells together in a tight, orderly and strong construction, similar to the way mortar holds the bricks of a wall together. This lipid layer is crucial for healthy, youthful skin, but it is often compromised in sensitive skin, and also declines as we age. When the lipid layer is compromised, the whole barrier is compromised: water can leave the skin more readily, and aggressors can enter the skin more readily too. A compromised skin barrier will appear rough, dry and dull may be prone to redness, breakouts and irritation. NovAge Skinrelief Night Cream is formulated with a blend of skin-mimetic natural lipids including Shea Butter and Swedish Oat Oil. Skin-mimetic means they have a very similar molecular structure to the lipids produced naturally by the skin. These oils help restore and maintain the integrity of the skin barrier.
