If you have never tried anything from Alpha-H Skincare, then you need too because they are just an amazing brand and one who is known for their ability to perfect even the most troublesome of complexions one product at a time. New to the collection comes the Alpha-H Essential Skin Perfecting Moisturiser with SPF15 and if you managed to get your hands on the most recent QVC TSV offer, then you will have got this product included.
Our skin is under constant attack, whether it is from environmental aggressors, pollution, UV radiation and the one we are all beginning to understand more about and that is blue-light which is emitted from our computers, phones, TV's and tablets because we are more technologically savvy than we ever have been. All of these together are degrading our skin and causing premature signs of ageing. To prevent damage to the skin we need a lot more than moisturisation, exfoliation and to some extent masks. Products that I am beginning to see a lot of are referred too as 'anti-pollution' sprays, creams and masks which all want to work to protect our skin, but Alpha-H have gone that one step further.
he Alpha-H Essential Skin Perfecting Moisturiser SPF 15 is described as being a next generation 5-in-1 daily protectant. It moisturises, primes, shields against blue-light, pollution, and filters UVA/UVB radiation in one easy step, future-proofing your skin and complexion from environmental and digital ageing. Using the latest technology in the form of what is called 'Uplevity and Serilesine' a dual peptide technology which works to stimulate Collagen production, increase firmness and dimish wrinkle depth. Also included you will find:
- New Zealand Pine Bark Extract, known as Enzogenol which a much more powerful antioxidant than vitamin C and helps to protect cells from UV damage. It stimulates new cell growth and extends the life of the dermal matrix. It also gives the cream the peachy shade, which doesn't transfer to the skin, it instead perfects.
- Cureberry which is derived from bilberry leaves and they work to stimulate the body’s own antioxidant glutathione. Proven to reduce the production of collagen-degrading enzymes and free radicals which are triggered by blue-light exposure.
- Caffeine Extract which is locally sourced from Queensland farmers in Australia, hosts powerful antioxidant properties and works to improve skin firmness, and effectively moisturises and hydrates the skin to improve suppleness.
- Pollushield has been clinically proven to trap between 74% and 97% of all pollutants on the skin over a 6 hour period. This vital ingredient creates a microscopic net over the skin’s surface to limit the absorption of the daily assault of airborne pollution.
- Niacinamide which is known for its ability to hydrate, it also works to stabilise the skins barrier function by increasing the ceramide levels and reducing water loss from the transepidermal.
- Shea Butter also helps with nourshing the skin and helping to reduce inflammation.
Putting all of these ingredients together, Alpha-H have managed to create a product that is incredibly lightweight and it absorbs really easily. Since this came into my possession, I have used it every single day and I love how it makes my skin feel. It does an amazing job as a primer too if you happen to run out, but for me, more importantly, I like the feeling of knowing I am doing all I can to protect my skin.
Available now and priced at £39.99 via Cult Beauty (aff link) I enjoy using it so much, I have already purchased a second tube.
