Collection: Face Moisturisers & Creams

The moisturising phase is usually the final step in an excellent skincare program. Skin Virtue offers a variety of perfecting creams from our three collections, all of which are rich in moisturising and hydrating components and suitable for different skin types.

The last, penultimate step in a great skincare routine is the moisturising step. Skin Virtue has a range of perfecting creams from our three collections packed with moisturising and hydrating ingredients that are great for all skin types. Moisturiser creams have a few essential purposes that make them super important in your skincare routine. First, it is to maintain your skin’s moisture. It’s easy for your skin to become dehydrated, even if it appears oily, throughout the day and night. A great moisturising face cream prevents your skin from drying out by adding much-needed hydration and moisture to the surface of your skin. Moisturisers don’t need to be super heavy or thick to do this either, all of Skin Virtue’s perfecting creams are lightweight and packed with great ingredients to supplement further moisture absorption into your skin for longer-lasting hydration.

Another reason to use a face cream is to protect your skin from external factors such as the climate, dust and other toxins or particles that can affect your skin and cause damage.

These factors disrupt the skin barrier function which in turn affects the skin's ability to retain moisture also known as transepidermal water which causes the skin to lose moisture, it also can cause harmful free radicals. Our perfecting creams are made of great ingredients that are naturally derived and more often than not have multiple uses and benefits than just hydration.

    FAQs

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the difference between sensitive and sensitised skin?

    Sensitive skin is typically a long-term skin type, often genetic, that reacts easily to triggers like fragrance, weather, or harsh ingredients. Sensitised skin, on the other hand, is a temporary condition caused by factors such as over-exfoliation, stress, or pollution. Both require gentle care that supports the skin barrier and minimizes reactivity.

    How can I support skin barrier repair through my daily skincare routine?

    Choose products that are free from irritants and rich in barrier-reinforcing ingredients like squalane, ceramides, and panthenol. These help prevent moisture loss, soothe inflammation, and rebuild the skin’s natural defenses — especially important for those dealing with problem prone skin or environmental sensitivity.

    What types of products are best for dehydrated skin?

    Products for dehydrated skin should contain humectants like glycerin and hyaluronic acid, which attract and hold water in the skin. Look for formulas with a balance of hydration and nourishment, using ingredients like shea butter and squalane to lock in moisture without clogging pores.

    Can skincare really help improve skin firmness over time?

    Yes. To improve skin firmness, look for skincare products that contain peptides, antioxidants, and plant stem cell extracts. These ingredients help support collagen production, enhance elasticity, and promote skin stem cell longevity — resulting in smoother, more resilient skin with consistent use.

    Why are bioactive ingredients important in skincare for problem prone skin?

    Bioactive ingredients like niacinamide, tea tree extract, and salicylic acid help regulate oil, calm inflammation, and clear congestion without stripping the skin. When formulated correctly, they can treat breakouts while protecting the skin barrier — a key priority for problem prone skin.

    How do I know if a product is right for sensitive or sensitised skin?

    Look for products that are dermatologist-tested, fragrance-free, and formulated with barrier-friendly ingredients. If a product highlights skin barrier repair, hydration without heaviness, and calming actives like vitamin E or panthenol, it’s likely well-suited for sensitive and sensitised skin.
