What is Phyris AQUActive Hyaluron Cream?
Phyris AQUActive Hyaluron Cream is the 24-hour moisturizer at the center of the AQUActive line. The brand built this line entirely around long-lasting hydration. Phyris calls it “the moisture booster for thirsty skin,” formulated to lastingly hydrate rather than provide a short-term surface effect.
Two forms of hyaluronic acid work together in the cream. One is a Depot Hyaluron designed to replenish the skin’s moisture reserves. The other is a Hyaluron Equivalent that coats the skin in a smoothing moisture net. Overall, the result is a cream Phyris positions for continuous, year-round hydration.
Key benefits
- Lasting hydration: Depot Hyaluron helps replenish the skin’s own moisture reserves.
- Smoother look: the Hyaluron Equivalent also plumps and smooths the skin’s surface.
- Eases tightness: formulated to reduce the feeling of a tight, dehydrated complexion.
- Light, fresh finish: absorbs well enough to double as a makeup base, especially in the morning.
Key ingredients
Sodium hyaluronate provides the cream’s moisture-binding backbone. It works together with squalane and shea butter to reinforce the skin’s surface lipids.
In addition, imperata cylindrica root extract is included as part of the formula’s plumping support. Meanwhile, cocoa seed butter and canola oil add richness without weighing the texture down. The cream also contains a light acrylate-based film former that helps the moisture net sit evenly across the skin.
How to use Phyris AQUActive Hyaluron Cream
- To begin with, cleanse the skin morning and evening.
- Then, for a stronger effect, apply Phyris AQUActive Somi first.
- After that, follow with AQUActive Hyaluron Eye around the eye area.
- Then apply a hazelnut-sized amount of Hyaluron Cream to the face, neck and décolleté.
- For an extra hydration boost, you can also layer an AQUActive Hyaluron Cap underneath.
Who Phyris AQUActive Hyaluron Cream is for
Phyris recommends Hyaluron Cream for normal, dry and combination skin, particularly for anyone whose skin regularly feels tight or dehydrated rather than visibly flaky. Its light, fresh finish also makes it a comfortable everyday cream for those who want continuous hydration without a heavy or greasy after-feel.
Retail size vs. professional size
This listing is the 125 ml professional jar, sized for spas that use Hyaluron Cream regularly as a finishing step in facial treatments. It also offers a lower cost per application than the smaller retail jar. Meanwhile, Phyris’s current consumer line lists the same formula in a standard home-use jar.
