HELIOS — Anti-Age Day Cream
Three actives. Thirty-eight ingredients in all.

Not sure it's right for your skin? Four questions — Daddy will tell you.
A day cream has to survive the day. Absorb fast, sit invisible under whatever comes next, hold its ground against weather and hours — and, if it's an anti-age cream, do the long work while it's at it. HELIOS does all four.
An innovative marine active (alteromonas ferment) evens skin texture and leaves the surface smoother to the touch; multi-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid — two sizes, two depths — boosts moisture at the surface and below. Lingonberry, echinacea, blackcurrant and elderflower cover the antioxidant defense; shea butter, jojoba and avocado carry it in a velvety texture that finishes to skin, not shine. Fine lines read softer, the skin feels firmer, and there's a faint radiance from the mineral finish rather than a glaze. Applied upward, morning, on clean skin.
The cream that does the years while you do the day.
What it does
- Evens skin texture; smoother to the touch
- Boosts moisture with multi-weight hyaluronic acid
- Softens the look of fine lines; skin feels firmer
- Radiant, velvety finish — absorbs clean
What is in it
- Aloe leaf juice
Used as the water phase rather than as a claim. Hydrating and calming from the first ingredient down.
- Jojoba seed oil
Technically a wax ester, and close enough to skin's own sebum that it absorbs instead of sitting on top. Conditions without the grease.
- Betaine
Sugar-beet humectant. Draws in moisture and takes the edge off surfactants, which is why a wash built on it rinses without that tight, squeaky finish.
- Shea butter
Organic, unrefined. The occlusive that gives a light cream enough body to actually stay put.
- Avocado oil
Heavy, green, rich in oleic acid. Comfort for skin that has gone past dry.
- Hyaluronic acid
Humectant; pulls water into the upper layers and holds it there, so skin reads plump rather than merely damp. Used here at multiple molecular weights so it works at more than one depth.
- Alteromonas ferment extract
The marine active. A ferment of a deep-sea bacterium, used here for skin texture — the reason this cream reads as smoothing rather than only moisturising.
- Lingonberry extract
Organic Nordic berry, antioxidant-rich. Sits with black currant and elderberry in the base doing environmental-defence work.
How to use
Morning, on clean skin. A fingertip, warmed between the hands, pressed and swept upward from the jaw. Over PEPTIDE ONE or a serum; add GUARD or JUVENTAS at the eye. At night, SOMNUS takes over. Pairs in the EQUINOX and THE TRINITY sets.
Age is a direction. Reverse it daily.
