Obagi ELASTIderm Lift Up and Sculpt Facial Moisturizer | Firming Moisturiser

The moisturiser step in a firming programme should do more than hydrate. For skin that has lost volume, contour and the structural resilience that makes it look lifted, the final daily moisturising step is an opportunity to deliver additional firming and contouring activity alongside barrier hydration. Obagi ELASTIderm Lift Up and Sculpt Moisturizer is designed to be exactly that: the completing step of the ELASTIderm firming programme, not a passive sealing cream.

Winner of New Beauty Best Moisturiser for Fine Lines 2025. Clinically proven to visibly lift and sculpt sagging facial contours in 6 weeks. The Bi-Mineral Contour Complex supports the same three-stage elastin development as the ELASTIderm Facial Serum, while Polyglutamic Acid, a peptide found in dermal fillers shown to outperform Hyaluronic Acid for moisture retention, provides intense, lasting hydration and visible plumping at the moisturiser step.

Who Is It For?

• Those using the ELASTIderm Facial Serum who want a compatible completing moisturiser for maximum firming programme results
• Sagging and loss of facial contour where lifting and sculpting at the moisturiser step is the clinical priority
• Fine lines and surface crepiness needing both firming activity and intensive hydration simultaneously
• Those on GLP-1 medications experiencing facial volume loss and laxity during weight loss
• Mature and menopausal skin wanting the most comprehensive daily firming moisturiser available

How Does It Work?

The Bi-Mineral Contour Complex supports elastin development at all three stages as described in the ELASTIderm Facial Serum, providing continued firming and contouring activity at the moisturiser step. Polyglutamic Acid forms a film on the skin surface that reduces moisture loss while actively drawing and retaining water in the skin, providing hydration that outperforms Hyaluronic Acid in published comparative research. The combination of elastin support and Polyglutamic Acid hydration produces the visible lifting, sculpting and plumping that is clinically proven within 6 weeks.

Key Ingredients

• Bi-Mineral Contour Complex (zinc, copper and malonate, patented, Obagi): Provides elastin support at the moisturiser step, complementing and amplifying the ELASTIderm Facial Serum's firming activity for cumulative programme results.
• Polyglutamic Acid: A high-molecular-weight peptide derived from fermented soybeans and used in dermal filler formulations. Forms a moisture-retaining film on the skin surface while actively hydrating. Published research confirms moisture retention superior to Hyaluronic Acid at comparable concentrations.

Benefits

• Clinically proven to visibly lift and sculpt sagging contours in 6 weeks

How We Use It at Face for Soul

As a pharmacist prescriber specialising in skin health, Lift Up and Sculpt is the moisturiser I always recommend alongside the ELASTIderm Facial Serum because the two together produce significantly better outcomes than either alone. The serum addresses elastin development from within. The moisturiser continues that activity at the surface step while adding Polyglutamic Acid hydration that plumps and maintains the contouring improvement. For GLP-1 patients, the combination of the serum and moisturiser working on elastin at both steps consistently produces visible improvements in facial contour that single-product approaches do not match.

How to Use

Apply morning and evening after cleanser, serum and treatment products. Pat gently onto the skin in an upward motion until fully absorbed. Follow with SPF 50 in the morning. For best results, use alongside the ELASTIderm Facial Serum and Advanced Filler Concentrate as the complete ELASTIderm protocol.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Polyglutamic Acid better than Hyaluronic Acid?
Published comparative research confirms that Polyglutamic Acid retains moisture more effectively than Hyaluronic Acid at comparable concentrations, likely because its higher molecular weight forms a more effective surface film. For a moisturiser step that needs to both hydrate and plump, Polyglutamic Acid provides superior moisture retention to standard HA moisturisers.

Is it pregnancy safe?
No established pregnancy contraindications. Consult your midwife or obstetrician before starting new skincare during pregnancy.

Can I use it with tretinoin?
Yes. Apply tretinoin in the evening and allow to absorb, then apply Lift Up and Sculpt as the sealing moisturiser. The Polyglutamic Acid provides excellent barrier support during retinoid treatment.

Does it clog pores?
No. Non-comedogenic and suitable for all skin types.

Clinical Insight

As a pharmacist prescriber, Lift Up and Sculpt is the completing step that makes the ELASTIderm programme produce its best results. The Polyglutamic Acid adds a hydration quality at the moisturiser step that standard HA moisturisers do not provide, and the continued Bi-Mineral Complex activity means the firming programme is working at every step of the routine rather than only at the serum step.
