The Latest Quick Absorbing Moisturisers Also Quickly Brighten
The last we spoke about the concept of quick absorbing moisturisers, we mentioned how it was an “illusion effect”: just air-drying in action that causes a product to sit on the dermis without allowing its actives to absorb properly. How then can we convince you that these products work?

Firstly, these moisturisers absorb quickly despite some of them being creams and secondly, expect various results depending on the product itself: lesser sensitivity, reduced spots, or complete annihilation of pigmentation. You’re welcome.

Absorbing quickly if you have oily skin (dry skin practically drinks it up), Augustinus Bader’s The Rich Cream contains a patented ingredient called TFC8® that immediately reduces signs of redness while hyaluronic acid and hydrylyzed rice protein improve hydration levels.

While it’s pretty obvious why the belif Super Drops Hyalucid duo absorbs so quickly (one is water and the other, water-like), the results are pretty incredible: they have the ability to reduce hyperpigmentation and wrinkle over a period of time that is just slightly longer than if you were to use an acid. A fair trade off for a lack of potential sensitisation.


One of the quickest absorbing moisturisers in this story, the genius of the ést.lab LumiGlow TXA Brightening Cream is that besides containing Tranexamic Acid to brighten (the acid itself is more efficacious than Vitamin C0, it is also formulated with an anti-blue light technology if you’re just like one of us: perpetually glued to your computer or phone screen.

Within each pump of the KOSÉ INFINITY Unlimited Key Serum are oil capsules and releasing capsules that helps to firm, hydrate and give a glow. In simpler terms again, it means that every use of the product ensures that you’re getting the serum as “freshly made” as can be.


Primed to work in tandem with the body’s circadian rhytmn, the Sisley Supremÿa Anti-Aging Skin Care Lotion contains a Phyto-Complex LC12 (plant-based actives) that activates when the body is at sleep to repair the skin’s cells. Its quick absorbing nature too means that it could be the end-all-be-all skincare step if one is feeling particularly tired.


The Sulwhasoo First Care Activating Serum might not be new to you if you’re hardcore about skincare but its new limited edition bottle inspired by Baekja (Korean traditional white porcelain) makes using it even more wonderful. If you’re unfamiliar, here’s the soft pitch: it hydrates upon first use and upon the second and third, expect an increase in skin radiancy.
