Designed to glide on like a cloud, absorb like a flash and keep your skin looking and feeling its best with an antioxidant rich formula that fends off environmental aggressors, keeps excess shine at bay, nourishes, smooths, protects and refines texture. Infused with natural hydrators and key actives to restore the skin’s barrier, balance oil production and minimise the appearance of pores, fine lines and wrinkles. Its featherweight texture is quickly absorbed, delivering a matt and breathable finish. Skin is delicately energised with notes of geranium, saffron flower, white rose and patchouli.
Apply to the face, neck and décolleté in the morning and evening after cleansing. Gently massage in an upward lifting motion moving up and out. Tap excess into the skin with your fingertips.
On top of everything else you have to do in the morning, moisturising might feel like a chore. However, the skin on our face and neck is perhaps the most exposed and sensitive to environmental stressors and so requires round the clock care. Whether you have dry, oily or combination skin, maintaining a healthy moisture balance not only helps to prevent common problems like acne, but also helps your skin to look younger, fight wrinkles and blemishes and protects against damage. Like a cashmere blanket for your face, Light It Up is your four-part routine wrapped into one, stepping in to restore balance in all skin types, supercharging its natural radiance, fortifying it against the ageing effects of the modern world and prepping it for the day ahead. At night, it acts as a protective layer, helping your skin recover from daily exposure and replenishing its natural barrier while you sleep.
Pro tip: This face cream doubles up as an effective primer base to keep your makeup in place and help it last longer.

A thoughtful blend of skin-loving oils and actives that work together to draw moisture deep into the skin, regulate excess oil and shine while keeping pores clear. The ideal combination to fight dehydration and smooth the skin, bringing out its natural radiance. This rich formula is powered by safou oil, which keeps the skin hydrated all day long, boosts collagen production and slows down the ageing process. The addition of niacinamide reduces dark spots and pigmentation, while hyaluronic acid locks in moisture and plumps. Texture-refining salicylic acid evens skin tone and minimises the appearance of enlarged pores and skin is purified and harmonised by chaulmoorga oil to reveal skin that feels as good as it looks. Anti-inflammatory black seed oil and centella asiatica extract heal and strengthen.
A unique vegetable oil that ethically slows down the ageing process of the skin, naturally improving texture and elasticity. Rich in fatty acids, vitamin C and E, safou oil is fast acting, keeping the skin hydrated, protected and soothed.
A form of vitamin B3, niacinamide repairs collagen, supports the skin’s barrier, increases its resilience, reduces dark spots and the size of pores. Assisting in balancing oil production and rebuilding healthy skin cells, niacinamide helps the skin to retain moisture and protects against environmental stressors.
A hydrating powerhouse, hyaluronic acid has an impressive ability to retain water, which plumps the skin, making it essential for a smooth, youthful complexion. It improves skin elasticity, making it more flexible while reducing the appearance of fine lines, and creates a smoother, more youthful look.
A beta hydroxy acid (BHA) derived from willow bark, wintergreen leaves, or sweet birch. Known for its ability to penetrate pores, salicylic acid helps exfoliate dead skin cells and reduce excess oil. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that can calm redness and reduce the appearance of blemishes.
Derived from the seeds of the Hydnocarpus wightianus tree, native to India and Southeast Asia. Known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, chaulmoogra oil purifies, controls sebaceous secretions, supports skin immunity and is especially beneficial for acne-prone and irritated skin. It helps the healing of scars, reduces redness, soothes skin discomfort, harmonises pigmentation, and can help improve the appearance of blemishes.
Black seed oil, or Nigella sativa oil, comes from black cumin seeds and has a history of use in traditional Middle Eastern and South Asian medicine. The seeds are cold-pressed to extract the oil, which is rich in essential fatty acids, antioxidants and vitamins. Black seed oil is deeply nourishing, helping to strengthen the skin barrier and lock in moisture. It also has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce acne and other skin irritations, promoting a balanced complexion.
Also known as gotu kola or “cica,” Centella asiatica is a herb prized for its soothing, healing and hydrating skin saviour abilities. It contains active compounds like triterpenoids, which stimulate collagen production and support wound healing, making it ideal for calming and sensitive or damaged skin and reducing redness and inflammation to support skin repair. It’s rich in antioxidants and promotes collagen production.

I have been using the "Light It Up Hydrating Face Cream" for 5 days now and as someone who is extremely selective on what I put on my skin (have only used 1 pharmaceutical brand cleansing cream and day cream since I hit puberty and I am now 33!), I was really excited to try this face cream after my mum and her friends raved about KOBA foot cream. As a postpartum mama, my skin has changed and I am not looking for those products that not only work but also gives me that little extra/special/self-care like experience and this cream hits the mark. Thank you Therese for creating something that makes this mum of 2 feel so pampered just by applying it !
Very nice light weight face cream with an amazing smell. My dry skin feels deeply nourished and protected. Perfect used after the cleansing balm.
Lights up your face.
