skinbetter science Refresh Hydration Boosting Cream | Barrier Support Moisturiser

A rich yet elegant daily moisturiser that replenishes hydration, supports barrier function and restores lasting skin comfort without the heaviness that defeats the purpose of a daytime cream. The skinbetter science Refresh Hydration Boosting Cream is the dedicated moisturising step for anyone building a skinbetter science routine who wants a cream that complements their treatment products without interfering with them.

Who is Refresh Hydration Boosting Cream best for?

• Dry to normal skin wanting rich daily hydration alongside skinbetter science treatment products
• Those wanting a dedicated moisturising step separate from their treatment serums
• Mature or menopausal skin needing daily comfort and moisture support
• Post-procedure skin needing a gentle, nourishing daily moisturiser during recovery
• Those on GLP-1 medications experiencing dryness needing a rich but non-greasy daily cream
• Those pairing with AlphaRet who need additional daily moisture support

Key ingredients and why they matter

• Hyaluronic Acid: Multiple molecular weights provide immediate surface and deep hydration for lasting plumping and moisture retention throughout the day
• Ceramides and barrier lipids: Reinforce the skin's natural moisture barrier to prevent trans-epidermal water loss and maintain hydration between applications
• Niacinamide: Supports barrier function, reduces redness and improves overall skin quality alongside the hydrating actives
• Squalane and Glycerin: Additional moisturising ingredients that enhance comfort and skin feel without heaviness or congestion

What results can you expect?

Immediate improvement in skin comfort, softness and hydration from the first use. With continued daily use, most users notice improved barrier integrity, reduced sensitivity and a noticeably more comfortable and resilient complexion over 4 to 8 weeks.

Fit it into your skinbetter science routine

Refresh Hydration Boosting Cream works as the moisturising step in any skinbetter science routine. Apply after your skinbetter science serum morning and evening, before SPF in the morning. For very dry or mature skin needing more intensive nourishment, consider the skinbetter science Trio Rebalancing Moisture Treatment or Trio Luxe Moisture Treatment, which also provide NMF and barrier lipid support alongside hydration.
