SkinQ Moisture Balm 50ML

SkinQ Moisture Balm is a rich, barrier-repair face moisturiser from Indian skincare brand SkinQ. It combines a trio of ceramides with sodium hyaluronate, niacinamide and shea butter to deliver instant and long-lasting hydration.

Vyroma Living sells the same Indian formula in a 50 ml size in Canada.

Ceramides are lipids that make up a large part of the skin's natural barrier; replenishing them helps the skin keep moisture in and irritants out. Sodium hyaluronate draws water into the skin, shea butter seals it in with rich, comforting nourishment, and niacinamide supports barrier health and a more even-looking tone.

SkinQ reports that users in independent testing saw a significant increase in both instant and long-lasting hydration.

Yes — a ceramide balm is exactly what winter skin needs. Freezing temperatures, wind and indoor heating weaken the skin barrier and cause tightness, flaking and redness. Moisture Balm helps rebuild and protect that barrier. It suits normal, dry and very dry skin, and anyone using drying actives such as retinol or acne treatments.

Very oily skin may prefer it only at night or in winter, with a lighter gel in summer.

After cleansing and applying any serums, warm a pea-sized amount between your fingertips and press it gently over the face and neck, morning and night. In the morning, let it settle and follow with sunscreen. On very dry areas, add a second thin layer at night.

A simple SkinQ routine: Daily Gentle Cleanser, Hydrate Serum, Moisture Balm, then Sun Protect SPF 50+ in the daytime.

Barrier-supporting ceramide moisturisers are generally a comfortable choice for sensitive skin. As with any new product, patch test first and stop use if irritation occurs.

You can order SkinQ Moisture Balm 50 ml online at Vyroma Living (vyromaliving.ca), a Canadian online store for Indian personal-care brands, with delivery within Canada.
