Dieux Skin Instant Angel Lipid-Rich Barrier Repair Cream
Instant Angel is skin barrier protection at its finest. This deeply hydrating and nourishing face cream supports and repairs the skin barrier while giving skin an ethereal, radiant glow – without the heavy, greasy feel typical of traditional rich creams.
The formula contains a carefully selected complex of phytosterols, free fatty acids, signaling peptides, plant ceramides, Glycerin, Urea, Squalane, and Sodium PCA. Instant Angel provides long-lasting hydration while strengthening the skin's natural lipid layer, leaving it strong, smoothed, and visibly firmed.
The result? A fragrance-free, velvety cream that melts into the skin like silk – rich enough to rebuild a compromised barrier, yet fast-absorbing and comfortable under makeup.
