Emollience

SkinCeuticals Emollience is a rich, restorative daily face moisturizer formulated specifically for dry, normal, and sensitive skin types. Combining an exclusive blend of three nutrient-rich algae extracts, nourishing plant oils, and a soothing essential oil complex, Emollience deeply nourishes and hydrates the skin while restoring and maintaining optimal moisture levels — leaving skin feeling soft, comfortable, and replenished throughout the day.

With an elegant, gentle formula and a smooth, easy-to-apply texture that absorbs quickly and evenly, Emollience is particularly well-suited to those living in high-altitude, cold, or dry climates where the skin’s moisture barrier is under constant environmental stress. It integrates seamlessly into any SkinCeuticals regimen, working effectively as both a morning moisturizer under sunscreen and a nourishing evening treatment alongside retinol.

Skin Types

Formulated for dry, normal, and sensitive skin types. Its rich yet non-occlusive texture provides intensive nourishment and hydration without heaviness, making it ideal for those whose skin feels tight, rough, or uncomfortable due to dryness or environmental exposure.

Skin Concerns

Addresses dehydration and visible signs of aging associated with moisture loss, including dullness, fine lines, and loss of skin suppleness. Also suitable for sensitized skin seeking a gentle, fragrance-balanced moisturizer that nourishes without causing irritation.

Key Ingredients

• Three Algae Extracts — A nutrient-rich blend sourced from multiple algae families, these marine-derived extracts are packed with minerals, amino acids, and polysaccharides that nourish, hydrate, and support the skin’s natural moisture-retention mechanisms. They form the hydrating foundation of the formula, delivering sustained comfort and suppleness throughout the day.
• Nourishing Plant Oils (Grape Seed, Rose Hip, and Macadamia Nut) — A trio of carefully selected botanical oils that work together to restore and maintain skin hydration. Grape seed oil is lightweight and rich in linoleic acid, supporting barrier function; rose hip oil provides essential fatty acids and antioxidants that help improve skin texture and tone; and macadamia nut oil closely mimics the skin’s own sebum, delivering deep nourishment that absorbs readily without clogging pores.
• Essential Oil Blend (Lavender, Rosemary, and Peppermint) — A soothing and invigorating combination of botanical essential oils that imparts a cooling, nourishing sensory experience upon application. Lavender contributes calming properties, rosemary provides antioxidant support, and peppermint delivers a refreshing, cooling sensation that makes application a pleasurable part of any skincare routine.

How to Use

Apply a generous amount of Emollience to the entire face, neck, and chest once or twice daily. In the morning, apply after a SkinCeuticals vitamin C antioxidant serum and before a SkinCeuticals broad-spectrum sunscreen for comprehensive environmental protection. In the evening, if using a retinol treatment, apply Emollience after retinol application to help nourish and comfort skin through the acclimation process. For those in particularly dry or cold climates, a slightly more generous application in the evening can help replenish moisture lost overnight.
