Remedy Defense Cream

Sometimes your skin needs more than moisture. It needs shelter.

Cold weather, dry indoor heat, travel, stress—there are times when even a normally well-behaved complexion can suddenly feel dry, tight, and vulnerable. I've found that these are the moments when skin benefits from being protected rather than pushed.

We chose Remedy Defense Cream because its rich, velvety texture provides deeper nourishment while helping support the skin's natural barrier. Marula oil, soothing Marvel of Peru extract, and a natural-origin prebiotic help comfort sensitive skin, preserve its natural flora, and give very dry or dehydrated skin the extra support it needs.

Especially If:

• Your skin is very dry, dehydrated, sensitive, or easily irritated.

• Cold weather, travel, or dry indoor air tends to leave your skin feeling depleted.

• Your usual moisturizer sometimes doesn't feel like quite enough.

To use, massage gently into clean skin after your serum, morning and evening. I especially like the idea of reaching for this one seasonally—when temperatures drop, after travel, or anytime your skin is asking for a little more protection.

From the Treatment Room

Your skin doesn't need the same thing every day of the year.

That's one of the reasons we don't love the idea of finding a routine and following it blindly forever.

Weather changes. We change. Our lives change all the time, and our skin changes right with us.

Learning to recognize when your usual moisturizer isn't quite enough—and giving your skin a little more protection when it asks for it—isn't complicating your routine. It's simply paying attention.

Chosen for The Northstar Collection because healthy skin is adaptable. Your skincare should be, too.
