Description

pHformula MD POST Recovery Cream is a rich emollient cream containing a blend of humectants for maximum hydration. It helps to alleviate immediate skin dryness and helps to protect the skin against moisture loss. Suitable for all skin types.

Key Ingredients include Hyaluronic Acid which provides superior hydration, holding moisture in the skin. Panthenol, a humectant with anti-inflammatory properties strengthens skin barrier functioning while reducing irritation and erythema (redness). Lactobionic Acid, a Polyhydroxy Acid provides multiple skin benefits including significant anti-ageing benefits like deep moisturisation with water-binding properties that help to plump the skin, increased cell turnover time, and antioxidant properties. Glycyrrhetinic Acid contains antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Non-comedogenic. Fragrance-free. Paraben-free. No lanolin or mineral oil.

Dr Webster’s Recommendation: pHformula MD POST Recovery Cream is a rich, deeply hydrating, neutral moisturiser protects and hydrates the skin while helping to restore the skin’s natural moisture balance. It delivers continuous moisture throughout the day to support and enhance skin comfort. It is best used together with one of the pHformula MD Correctives. It is both safe and non-irritating and has excellent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It is particularly effective during the healing stages after skin resurfacing treatments.

    I have combination skin with hormonal acne and post acne marks. I usually prefer lotions over creams since my T zone gets greasy, but most lotions I’ve tried don’t hydrate my dry areas enough. I decided to give this cream a try, and I’m so glad I did! It provides great hydration without making my skin oily. It absorbs beautifully and works well with serums. I use it both morning and evening, and I’m now repurchasing it for the second time!

    I have been using this for a month and I am not sure if I use a small amount but if applied alone I wake up with dry patches but if I add another moisturiser it’s works very well.

    I was expecting great things from this moisturizer given the reviews but wasn’t blown away to be honest. Personally I felt that it didn’t moisturize my skin enough which is odd given that it’s recommended after intensive skin treatments. I’ve had much better results from the Neostrata hydrating moisturizer.

    So I asked Bernadette to recommend a moisturizer i could use post dermapen….

    Its so lovely, you wont want to wear make up. Its a really beautiful product and feels very luxurious.
    Rich, but not oily and 2 weeks post dermapen leaves you skin feeling like it did when I was 20 (Im 37)
    – its not the dermapen its the product…. big different before and after application

    Really lovely…
