The New & Effective Moisturiser We Love

Chantecaille has earned its cult status and their new launches always get rave reviews – and it’s easy to see why. The family founded French brand uses clean, botanical ingredients to create effective products that show results fast. Alongside its sleek make-up range, it offers skincare that uses cutting-edge science for meticulous formulations that work. Constantly receiving five-star reviews, you can rely on the brand’s gentle products that are a joy to apply thanks to their luxe texture and also work well with everything else in your routine.

With a thin, milky texture, the Oil-Free Balancing Moisturiser absorbs fast with no greasy feel. Just a few pumps are enough to cover your face and neck. You’ll love how the finish is matte – especially if you’re prone to oiliness or shine – but with a slight glow to it that gives your complexion a healthier-looking appearance. That’s all thanks to its impressive formula which doesn’t just hydrate, but also balances your skin’s microbiota – in layman’s terms this is the outer layer of skin that protects against damage from issues like pollution and UV. 

The result? Better hydration, less sensitivity, irritation and excess oiliness. Add that to ingredients like marine postbiotic, plant stem cells and moisture-locking polyglutamic acid and you have a cream that ticks all the right boxes. With regular use, you’ll see skin that is more supple and smooth, with less visible pigmentation.

You can use the moisturiser on its own, but its results will be enhanced when you pair it with other products in the Chantecaille line. That includes the brand’s Purifying & Exfoliating Phytoactive Solution, which tones the skin, minimising the appearance of enlarged pores, and the Rice & Geranium Foaming Cleanser. The latter swiftly removes dirt and make-up while gently exfoliating for a brighter glow. For extra hydration, apply the brand’s Blue Light Protection Hyaluronic Serum pre-moisturiser and finish with a good spritz of the Pure Rosewater. An award-winner, this versatile mist regularly sells out – full of antioxidants and botanicals, it seals moisture into your skin and keeps it there for days. When all these products are used in tandem, you’ll find your complexion looks more even in tone with a fresher appearance and less redness.
