BABOR Moisture Glow Cream

The Moisture Glow Cream is a lightweight moisturizer for dry, dull skin. It is available in a 50-ml jar and as a 15-ml travel size that fits in your carry-on luggage. The formula is the same for both sizes.

The cream used to be part of the Cleanformance line. BABOR has renamed the line Microbiomic; according to BABOR, the formula has remained the same—only the design is new.

Postbiotics and Beets

The 8% Beta Root Postbiotic Complex combines beetroot extract with fermented postbiotics. They strengthen the skin barrier and restore the balance of the skin’s microbiome. According to BABOR, the beetroot complex increases skin hydration by up to 40%. A red maple bark extract provides antioxidant benefits, while light-reflecting pigments instantly create a glow.

• Moisture: Polysaccharide, long-chain hyaluronic acid, and glycerin; according to BABOR, lasts up to 72 hours
• Oils: almond oil and grape seed oil, plus vitamin E
• Formula: vegan, 98% naturally derived ingredients, free of silicones, parabens, mineral oils, PEGs, and microplastics

Application

Massage into the face, neck, and décolletage in the morning, evening, or both, after cleansing. The cream can also be used as a primer under makeup. BABOR recommends using it in combination with the Moisture Glow Serum.
