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 high concentration of 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 oily skin (because it’s so light). And dry skin (look at these hydration results!). And skin prone to eczema. A very concentrated little wonder.
I love that it 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 bacteria and help support the skin’s barrier, with an antibacterial action against bad bacteria.

LACTIC ACID: The gentlest of AHAs, lactic acid helps the skin to stay at its optimal pH level and has hydrating and softening properties. 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, microbeads, phenoxyethanol or methylisothiazolinone.

How to use

Apply over your face and neck morning and evening, after cleansing. It creates an ideal make-up base.

As the Gallinée Hydrating Face Cream is highly concentrated in active ingredients, a little goes a long way.
For the best care, follow with sun protection.

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

I really dont like the packaging thought and the consistency. It is very runny and seeps out of the bottle before you even press to get some out. This makes the product fall into the crevaces of the cap and gets ugly and yellow. Overall product is good, packaging needs some help and product to be more of a cream rather than liquid.

You definitely get what you don’t pay for. We have previously experienced nothing but mysteriously ‘lost’ packages when merchants use Amazon shipping, causing stress and wasting my time. Bye-bye gallinée.

Read moreAt first I felt like I had to use a lot of this face cream, but then after reading reviews of people saying a little goes a long way, I’ve been applying just a little while my face is still wet, followed by a face oil, and my face has felt hydrated throughout the day! I’ve also been using it under my eyes with minimal irritation, but I’d like to try the eye cream instead. The smell is not as fragranced as the other products, and is more like a probiotic would smell like, but I don’t mind in the least bit. I’m obsessed with this brand!

Read moreI tried this in the sale of short-dated stock and have so far found it really good for reducing maskne when wearing a face mask (which I still have to do due to not making antibodies). I would say for skin softening and plumping it's pretty similar to other brands I use but the reduction in maskne is the clincher for me as I don't tend to suffer breakouts except for when I go out and need to wear a mask. I really like the gingerbread scent which reminds me the ingredients are doing their job and the fact you don't need much at all to get a good result. Definitely one for rebuying when I've finished this tube.

Its soothing, hidrating, it tightens the pores, the skin feels smooth and fresh and soft. I have very oily skin and most creams wont sit well on my skin. This is the best cream ever, truly.

Unfortunately I totally dislike the cream. First of all it has a very strong and persistent scent of licorice, so strong that I couldn't use it as a day cream. Also I found that the moisturizer doesn't sink easily in the skin, and I feel it on my skin for too much time after applying it. For these reasons I am using it only as night cream, while I look for a replacement. I think I may will give it another chance in winter, when my skin is more demanding. I do not want to say that this product is poorly made (because absolutely it isn't: the ingredients' list is excellent in one word), the cream sure is hydrating and gentle and everything, but I think it's not suitable for me, as I did not find any change in my skin in terms of softness, luminosity, or tone. Sad :(

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.
