A gentle anti-ageing day and night cream to nourish dry and very dry sensitive skin.
Alpha-H Essential Hydration Cream is an intensely nourishing day and night cream suitable for dry to very dry skin. As skin ages, it typically becomes drier as collagen production slows, leading to a loss of firmness and elasticity, and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This hydrating moisturiser from Alpha-H not only instantly boosts moisture levels within the skin; it also stimulates collagen production for plumper and firmer skin.
Unlike most Alpha-H products, Essential Hydration Cream has been formulated without AHAs. Instead, the brand chose a gentle blend of soothing hydrators that’s perfect for sensitive skin types. To hydrate the skin, this cream features antioxidants Linoleic Acid and Evening Primrose Oil. These ingredients work to stimulate collagen production while protecting the skin from environmental aggressors. Essential Hydration face cream also contains Rose Geranium, which has natural anti-fungal properties to soothe irritation while imparting a stunning aroma.

Resurgence Retinol Youth Renewal Night Cream also contains Red Algae Extracts, which are rich in hydrating peptides, to moisturise the skin and improve elasticity.
