Cream Extreme Intensive Repair is a rich occlusive barrier cream for very dry, parched skin with a compromised moisture barrier. It seals moisture in and helps a broken barrier recover — a rescue cream, not an anti-ageing treatment.
A rich balm-cream, warmed between the fingertips and pressed in as the last step at night.
Key benefits
Seals moisture into parched skin
A rich occlusive cream — petrolatum, dimethicone and emollients — that locks water in and stops it evaporating from very dry skin.
Rebuilds the barrier with skin-identical lipids
Ceramide PC-104, soy phytosterols and linoleic acid help restore the barrier of dry, compromised skin.
Comforts irritation
Allantoin and a rich lipid base help calm the feeling of tightness and irritation.
An honest rescue cream
This is a straightforward, effective barrier-repair balm — not an anti-ageing treatment. It does one job well: it seals moisture in.
What to expect
With nightly use on very dry or compromised skin, most people notice:
- Skin feels immediately more comfortable and less tight
- Less flaking and roughness over a few days
- A calmer, less irritated surface
- Moisture that holds through the night
Descriptive of the typical experience with consistent use. Individual results vary.
How to use
- Apply as the last step of your evening routine
- Warm between fingertips and press into skin
- Use nightly until skin feels comfortable again
Loved & recommended
Not everything needs to be an anti-ageing treatment, and I respect a brand that says so. This is a proper occlusive barrier cream — petrolatum, dimethicone and ceramides — for skin that is genuinely compromised and parched. On a harsh winter or after a treatment, that is exactly what you want. Just don’t expect it to firm or resurface; that isn’t its job.

Why it is recommended
It is an honest, effective barrier-repair cream — ceramides and phytosterols under a rich occlusive layer — and doesn’t pretend to be more.

The science behind the formula
Cream Extreme is a classic occlusive barrier cream. Roughly a sixth of the formula is occlusive ingredients, layered over a skin-identical lipid complex of ceramides and phytosterols.
We describe it honestly: it seals moisture in and helps a broken barrier recover. It is not a peptide treatment and does not carry the clinical claims of our Blue Copper range — it is simply a very good rescue cream for dry, irritated skin.
FAQs
Is this an anti-ageing cream?
No — and we won't pretend it is. It is a barrier-repair and occlusive rescue cream for very dry, irritated skin. For firming and lines, look at our Blue Copper 5 range.
When should I use it?
As the last step of your evening routine, or during the day in cold, dry weather.
Can I use it on very dry or reactive skin?
Its job is to seal and soothe a compromised barrier. If you have a diagnosed skin condition, check with your dermatologist and patch test first.
How often?
Nightly until skin feels comfortable again, then as needed.
Can I use it on my body?
Yes — it works well on very dry patches such as elbows, hands and shins.
Will it feel greasy?
It is rich, so warm a small amount between the fingertips and press it in; a little goes a long way.
Can I wear make-up over it?
It is best as a night treatment. In the day, use a thin layer and let it absorb fully before make-up.
Does it contain fragrance?
Please check the ingredient list on the packaging; if your skin is very reactive, patch test first.
How should I store it?
Keep it somewhere cool and out of direct sunlight with the cap closed, so the actives stay stable.
How is it shipped, and can I return it?
Shipping is free on every order with no minimum, and there is a 30-day, no-questions-asked return guarantee if it is not right for you.
