Cica Face Cream

Provides immediate hydration and a soothing effect. Strengthens the skin barrier function, reduces redness and improves skin resistance. With continued use, helps improve firmness, wrinkles and tone uniformity.

Suitable for all skin types, especially normal to dry, dehydrated combination, sensitive or rosacea-prone skin.

Cica Face Cream can be used morning and night, after cleansing, or as the final step after your treatment serum.

How to apply:

• Apply a small amount to face, neck and décolleté, gently massaging until absorbed.
• Can also be used alone after cleansing, as its formula contains anti-aging actives that help improve wrinkles, firmness and hyperpigmentation, while also being antioxidant.
• Ideal as a makeup prep treatment, as it leaves skin hydrated, supple and with a plump finish.
