Dieux Skin Instant Angel Lipid-Rich Barrier Repair Cream
Instant Angel offers supreme skin barrier protection. This deeply hydrating and nourishing face cream supports and repairs the skin barrier, while imparting 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, signal 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, smooth, and visibly firmed.
The result? A fragrance-free, velvety cream that melts into the skin like silk — rich enough to restore a compromised barrier, yet fast-absorbing and comfortable under makeup.
