What is Phyris FoREST Gel Cream?
FoREST Gel Cream is the lightweight daily moisturizer in the Phyris FoREST collection. This German professional skincare line takes its inspiration from a walk through the forest.
Phyris designed the gel-based formula to make the skin feel both fresh and hydrated without a heavy or oily after-feel. That is why the brand positions it specifically for combination and oily skin. In addition, a mattifying complex works alongside the forest-sourced actives. Its role is to help even out the look of the complexion through the day.
Key benefits of Phyris FoREST Gel Cream
- Fresh, hydrated feel: Phyris formulated the gel texture to hydrate without weighing down oilier skin.
- Strengthened skin barrier: the formula also uses moss extract, formulated to strengthen the skin’s natural protective function against stress-causing urban influences.
- Mattified, even-looking radiance: chaga mushroom extract combined with Silkymatt is formulated to improve the evenness of the complexion.
- Non-greasy finish: a dispenser-packaged gel that absorbs quickly, so it makes a good base for makeup.
Key ingredients
Phyris names moss extract (Physcomitrella patens) as a highlight for a smooth and even complexion. The extract supports the skin’s moisture content. In addition, it strengthens the barrier function against stressful, urban influences.
Chaga mushroom extract (Inonotus obliquus) brings polyphenols, polysaccharides and minerals to the formula. It also helps support the skin’s evenness and radiance by reducing the look of redness. The formula includes sodium hyaluronate for its moisture-binding properties. Finally, jojoba oil and sunflower seed oil round out the texture for a light, non-greasy feel.
How to use Phyris FoREST Gel Cream
- Each morning and evening, cleanse, then apply FoREST SOMI and a suitable eye care.
- Finally, smooth a hazelnut-sized amount of Gel Cream over the face, neck and décolleté.
Who it is for
Phyris recommends FoREST Gel Cream for combination and oily skin. Beyond that, it works for anyone who wants a hydrating moisturizer that still feels light and mattifying through the day. That holds whether you use it as a standalone daily cream or as a makeup base.
