Corthe Rich M Cream

Corthe Rich M Cream is an occlusive moisturizer for severely dry, barrier-compromised skin.

Professional Overview

Corthe Rich M Cream is an occlusive moisturizer specifically formulated for severely dry, barrier-compromised skin. It is designed to deeply hydrate, seal in moisture, and provide long-term barrier support. This makes it an ideal choice for use during facial treatments targeting dehydration and barrier repair, especially in clients with compromised skin barriers or those experiencing seasonal dryness.

Key Active Ingredients

• Ceramide NP: A skin-identical ceramide vital for reinforcing the skin's protective barrier. It prevents moisture loss and enhances the skin’s resilience against environmental aggressors.
• Squalane, Shea Butter, and Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride: Create a rich occlusive layer to lock in moisture, preventing transepidermal water loss.
• Multiple Forms of Hyaluronic Acid: Including sodium hyaluronate, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, and sodium acetylated hyaluronate, these ingredients draw moisture into the skin and retain it.
• Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract, and Allantoin: Soothe and calm the skin, reducing visible redness and irritation.
• Biosaccharide Gum-1 and Marine Extracts: Support the skin’s microbiome, promoting long-term resilience.

Effects / Clinical Benefits

Corthe Rich M Cream is formulated to intensely hydrate and repair the skin barrier. The ceramides and occlusive agents help prevent moisture loss, while the hyaluronic acid complex ensures deep hydration. Moreover, the calming botanicals reduce redness and irritation, supporting a more even complexion. This is particularly beneficial for clients recovering from professional treatments or those with persistent dryness and sensitivity.
