Swiss Image Absolute Hydration Day Cream & Absolute Repair Night Cream

The most basic function of a moisturizer is to hydrate and soften the skin. The skin naturally loses the ability to retain moisture as we age and daily activities such as washing, can strip natural hydrators from the surface of the skin. Day creams are equipped to protect the skin from the environmental aggressors we face outdoors while night creams focus on repairing damage to the skin as well as replenishing moisture levels.

Enriched with the natural extracts of Edelweiss and Alpine Glacier Water, this light-textured hydration day cream from Swiss Image is easily absorbed by the skin and offers long-lasting hydration and the nourishment of minerals and essential nutrients. The non- greasy overnight cream works in harmony with your skin’s natural regeneration cycle to replenish moisture levels and provide nourishment with essential nutrients. -– AED 30 each
