Environmental Age Defense Moisture Cloud is a ceramide and squalane barrier-repair gel-cream for dehydrated, reactive skin exposed to pollution and blue light. It rebuilds the moisture barrier while defending against all three forms of free radicals — oxygen, nitrogen and carbonyl — not just the oxygen radicals most antioxidants target.
A light gel-cream that smooths over face and neck after your serum, morning and evening.
Key benefits
Rebuilds a healthy moisture barrier
Contains all three stratum-corneum lipid classes — ceramides, phytosterols and fatty acids — plus squalane, which is what separates real barrier repair from simple occlusion.
Defends against pollution and blue light
Formulated with antioxidants and infrared-defence actives for skin exposed to urban environments and screens.
Combats all three forms of free radicals
Goes beyond the usual oxygen-only antioxidants to help defend against reactive oxygen, nitrogen and carbonyl radicals.
Calms reactive, dehydrated skin
A gel-cream that hydrates and comforts skin that feels tight, sensitised or easily irritated.
Supports the skin's own renewal
Aldenine®, a tripeptide-and-protein complex, is included at its studied dose to support the look of a healthy, resilient surface.

The science behind it
Anti-glycation tripeptide complex (Aldenine®) — in vitro
Antioxidant (Lipochroman®, dimethylmethoxy chromanol) — in vitro
More potent than vitamin E and resveratrol in comparative lab assays.
Coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone) — peer-reviewed literature
Peer-reviewed study of the ingredient (Hoppe et al., BioFactors, 1999; n=20) — not a study of this formula.

*Consumer perception study. Individual results vary. The ingredient evidence for this formula is in vitro (human cell cultures), except the coenzyme Q10 figure, which is peer-reviewed literature on the ingredient. See the full evidence on our clinical results page.
How to use
- Apply after your serum
- Smooth over face and neck
- Use morning and evening
Loved & recommended
The honest hero here is the barrier. It is rare to see all three stratum-corneum lipid classes plus squalane in one formula — that is what actually repairs a barrier rather than just sitting on top of it. Aldenine's collagen data is lab-based, not clinical, and to their credit they label it as such. For dehydrated, reactive, city skin, this is a smart, well-constructed choice.

The science behind the formula
The honest story here is the barrier. Moisture Cloud supplies all three stratum-corneum lipid classes plus squalane — a verifiable formulation fact, and what distinguishes barrier repair from a simple occlusive.
Please note: Aldenine®'s collagen figure (a large increase in Collagen III synthesis) comes from in-vitro testing on human skin cells in the laboratory, not from a trial on people. We label it as in-vitro and keep it separate from the consumer figures.

FAQs
Is this a good gel moisturizer for dehydrated skin?
Yes — Moisture Cloud is a lightweight gel moisturizer for dehydrated, sensitive skin, rebuilding the barrier with hyaluronic acid and antioxidants.
What is an anti-pollution moisturizer?
An anti-pollution moisturizer like this adds antioxidant and blue-light defence to daily hydration; it supports skin against environmental stress but does not replace SPF.
Is this a moisturiser or a serum?
A gel-cream moisturiser. Apply it after your serum, morning and evening.
Is it good for sensitive skin?
Yes — it is designed for dehydrated, reactive skin and focuses on rebuilding the barrier.
What does 'anti-pollution' mean here?
It contains antioxidants and infrared-defence actives that help skin cope with pollution and blue-light exposure. It is not a substitute for SPF.
Does it replace my SPF?
No. Always wear a dedicated sunscreen in the morning.
Is the Collagen III figure a clinical result?
No — that figure is from in-vitro (laboratory cell-culture) testing, not a trial on people. We label it as in-vitro and keep it separate from the consumer figures. See our clinical results page.
Where does it go in my routine?
After cleansing, toner and serum — it is your moisturiser step, morning and evening.
How much should I use?
A pea-to-almond-sized amount smoothed over the face and neck.
How long will one bottle last?
At twice-daily use one bottle typically lasts around two months.
Is it safe to use during pregnancy?
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, we recommend checking with your doctor before starting any new active skincare.
How is it shipped, and can I return it?
