Description

Our light and creamy Universal Face Cream's high-performance hydrating formula soothes, protects, nourishes and brightens your skin. 

This all-in-one patented Triple Biotic Complex of prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics helps to support the skin’s microbiome in the most gentle and effective way possible, combined with the antioxidant actions of organic myrtle extract. 

Fun Fact: You may detect a faint smell of gingerbread due to the natural active ingredients, especially in prebiotics. 

Marie’s word, founder of Gallinée: 

It may look unassuming, but this is a high performance moisturiser for sensitive skin. And skin that prefer light texture. And dry skin (look at these hydration results!). And skin prone to atopic eczema.

I love that this little wonder smells like no other cream, reminds me a bit of the gingerbread my mum was giving me after school.” 

Key Ingredients

PROBIOTICS: Deactivated bacteria from the Lactobacillus family (a major part of the lactic acid bacteria group), these probiotics are extremely gentle on the skin and help to support the microbiome and the skin’s protective barrier. 

PREBIOTICS: A mix of ultra-gentle fibres and sugars that feed your skin’s good resident bacteria and help support the skin’s barrier. 

LACTIC ACID: One of the gentlest of AHAs! Lactic acid helps the skin to stay at its optimal pH level and helps maintaining your skin’s moisture. Gallinée uses a slow-release form to suit even sensitive skin. 

YACON EXTRACT: A root hailing from the same family as Jerusalem artichokes, yacon contains one of the largest amounts of prebiotics found in natural plants. In Central America, it is often used as natural sugar. Gallinée’s yacon is cold-pressed to retain its qualities. 

ORGANIC MYRTLE EXTRACT: Sourced from the French Mediterranean region, myrtle is a plant containing a large amount of phenolic compounds; well-known for their antioxidant actions, to protect skin from oxidative stress. 

PHYSIOLOGICAL pH: All Gallinée products are made to match the optimal pH of the skin and the microbiome. 

WITHOUT: Doesn’t contain colourants, parabens, mineral oils, silicones. 

How to use

Apply over your face and neck morning and evening, after cleansing. It creates an ideal make-up base. A little goes a long way.
For the best care, follow with sun protection. 

RESULTS: Skin is soothed, with hydration levels of the skin’s upper layers increased by 55% after 4 hours**.

  1. Melissa

    Their face cream along with their cleanser helped clear my skin and restore my skin’s microbiome. I do wish there was a bigger bottle, and a different way to dispense it. Most of the time when I’m trying to screw the lid back on, I end up dropping it, and sometimes loosing it. An airless pump option would be nice.

  2. Grohin

    J' ai une peau mixte qui a besoin d' hydratation, elle assure son rôle côté hydratation. En revanche elle me laisse des petits boutons et plaques rouges sur le visage, c'est très gênant esthétiquement et elle picote légèrement comme-ci ma peau était irritée alors que je ne présente pas ce problème habituellement. Je suis très déçu, je trouve qu'elle ne justifie pas un tel prix.

  3. HOMA

    From bd thiss healed my skinn frrr, love this one soo muchchchc

  4. Marlena Rapacz

    Love this face cream. Blends in well. Really light and feels very nice going on. My skin feels very soft.

  5. Anastasia

    I used a previous version of this cream and I have noticed it was reformulated - and I have to say I love this new version so much! First the texture- exactly what I want in a daily cream: non greasy, quick absorbing with a pleasant very subtle scent . Perfect for transitional period

  6. Inés Cuesta Gil

    I like the texture of the cream, but in my case (I have very dry skin), it falls short in hydration.

  7. Ma

    La textura no es untuosa ni demasiado ligera, y una vez te las has puesto, notas que hidrata sin hacerse pesada. Es muy respetuosa con mi piel, que es muy sensible y con tendencia acneica. Si te gusta utilizar serums y aceites junto con la crema es perfecta porque no sobresatura nada la piel

  8. Joelle Cohen(verified owner)

    Laisse la peau souple et "nourrie". Mais la crème a déphasé dans le tube donc je la secoue avant chaque utilisation et cela semble suffire à homogénéiser la crème. D'autre part elle a tendance à me provoquer des petits boutons sur le nez alors j'ai que largement passé l'âge des fluctuations hormonales. Donc je contourne la zone de mon nez pour la pose de la crème. Et enfin je n'aime pas trop son odeur mais ça c'est très subjectif. Globalement je reste satisfaite mais avec réserve.

  9. Jennifer lulli(verified owner)

    C'est vraiment la crème qui me fait du bien. Qui apaise, hydrate et rends ma peau hyper confortable. Même ma mère qui n'est pas skincare là adoré.

  10. Deb Jones(verified owner)

    I love the face cream it's very soothing after a day working in the sun or cold and I find it calms my skin and makes it feel soft

Frequent questions answered by our founder and Doctor of Pharmacy.

How can I support my skin’s microbiome?

Using face products based on patented pre, post and probiotic skincare technology is the best way to improve your skin’s microbiome. This helps to rebalance your microbiome, soothe irritation and strengthen your skin’s protection against harmful bacteria.
Our Hydrating Face Cream includes a patented Triple Biotic Complex of prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics that help to support your skin’s microbiome in the most gentle and effective way possible.

Is the Hydrating Face Cream suitable for sensitive or atopic skin?

Gallinée products are suitable for all skin types and are particularly recommended for ultra-sensitive skin such as atopic skin. We developed gentle products that support and restore your skin’s microbiome, thanks to the active ingredients contained in the products.
This Hydrating Face Cream will please sensitive skin, but also oily skin (regulates sebum), dry skin (deep hydration), or eczema-prone skin. The cocktail of prebiotics, probiotics and post-biotic brings hydration and soothes the skin.

Why does my Hydrating Face Cream smell a bit like gingerbread?

We didn’t add any perfume to this product in order to keep it as gentle as possible, but our Face Cream is highly concentrated in natural active ingredients, especially in prebiotics and they smell a bit like… gingerbread! But the smell is only very short-lived, so don’t worry about anyone noticing when you’re out and about!

Sometimes, when I squeeze the tube, I notice an oily liquid that is coming out with the cream. Is this normal?

There is nothing to worry about: our Hydrating Face Cream is created with natural products and its texture can therefore vary slightly depending on production, without affecting its cosmetic qualities, effectiveness or safety.

Pro Tip: Shake well your tube of Face Cream before use.

2 UV screens are among the ingredients. Is this Hydrating Face Cream effective as a sunscreen?

These UV screens are used to counteract the possibility of a reaction to lactic acid, so we recommend you apply a proper UV cream on top of the Face Cream.
