Application: Morning and evening
Best for: Dryness, loss of suppleness and visible lines
When your skin wants more than a light layer of moisture.
There is a difference between skin that looks a little dull and skin that feels tight no matter what you put on it. Functionalab Intense Hydration is a rich face cream for the days, seasons and skin changes that call for more comfort. It combines moisturizing lipids with peptide technology to help skin look smoother and feel more supple.
Think of it as the finishing layer after your serum, with enough richness to make a dry-skin routine feel complete. If you are choosing between this and Youth Solution, tell us what your skin feels like by the end of the day. That is often more helpful than choosing by age alone.
