Many moisturisers targeted toward oily or combination skin contain drying alcohols or synthetic astringents that strip away natural oils, leading to a compromised barrier and overactive sebaceous glands. Your skincare routine shouldn't leave you with more problems than you started with. That's why we've jam-packed this formula with oil-regulating ingredients, anti-inflammatories and skin-loving hydration.
Jojoba Seed Oil and Sweet Almond Oil mimic the skin’s natural sebum composition, providing essential lipids that regulate oil production rather than disrupting it. Jojoba Oil, rich in wax esters, penetrates deep into the skin to reinforce the lipid barrier, helping to maintain hydration without clogging pores. Meanwhile, Sweet Almond Oil delivers linoleic acid, a crucial fatty acid known to restore barrier integrity and soothe inflammation, making it ideal for those prone to acne, congestion, or dehydration-induced oil overproduction.
Unlike conventional moisturisers that use aggressive synthetic acids to encourage cell turnover and decongestion, Regulate Everyday Moisturiser harnesses the power of Papaya and Pineapple Extracts to gently refine skin texture and encourage cell renewal. These tropical fruit enzymes work by dissolving excess keratin buildup on the skin’s surface, preventing congestion, breakouts, and dullness without disrupting the deeper layers of the skin. This enzymatic action ensures that skin remains smooth, balanced, and receptive to hydration while supporting natural desquamation for a consistently clear complexion.
Hyperpigmentation, dullness, and uneven skin tone are often side effects of inflammation, oxidative stress, and barrier dysfunction. Instead of using harsh lightening agents like hydroquinone, Regulate Everyday Moisturiser features Kakadu Plum, Licorice Root Extract, and Green Tea—three powerful antioxidants that work at a cellular level to combat oxidative damage and reduce pigmentation.
Kakadu Plum (also in our Vitamin Serum C), one of the highest natural sources of Vitamin C, stimulates collagen synthesis and inhibits tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for melanin overproduction. This brightens the complexion while reinforcing structural proteins in the skin.
Licorice Root Extract (a favourite in the clinic) contains glabridin, a potent compound that reduces inflammation and melanin transfer, helping to fade dark spots and even out skin tone. Meanwhile, Green Tea, rich in polyphenols, fights free radicals and inhibits the degradation of collagen and elastin, ensuring skin remains firm, resilient, and protected against environmental aggressors.
Oily and acne-prone skin needs ingredients that calm inflammation without clogging pores. Regulate Everyday Moisturiser incorporates White Willow Bark and Quandong Extract, both of which provide anti-inflammatory and antibacterial benefits while helping to decongest pores naturally.
White Willow Bark is a natural source of salicin, a precursor to salicylic acid, which gently exfoliates within the pores, preventing blockages and breakouts. Unlike synthetic salicylic acid, it works without causing excessive dryness or irritation, making it suitable for sensitive, acne-prone skin. Quandong Extract, a native Australian fruit rich in rutin and ferulic acid, enhances skin healing and reduces the impact of UV damage and inflammation-related pigmentation, further supporting a healthy, balanced complexion.
Many mainstream moisturisers for oily skin focus on mattifying rather than regulating, often relying on silicones and synthetic powders that temporarily absorb oil but disrupt skin function over time. Regulate Everyday Moisturiser takes a different approach, working with your skin’s biology rather than against it.
The inclusion of Juniper, Bergamot, Orange Peel, and Lime Oils provides a mild astringent effect, helping to refine pores and refresh the skin without triggering sensitivity or barrier damage. Unlike artificial fragrances that can cause irritation and congestion, these natural botanical oils offer antimicrobial protection to support a healthy skin biome, while providing the signature beautiful smell you'll love in your skincare routine.
