One Cream with Every Natural Active Our Modern World Demands

Most face creams pick one hero ingredient and fill the rest of the jar with water, silicones and fragrance. You end up layering three or four products to get what your skin actually needs.

Our Dream Cream does everything in one pump for those who want a simple and complete skin-care routine.

It is light and silky and sinks in fast, and can be used either morning and night.

We hope you love it as much as we do.

The Research Behind It

Published studies on these ingredients, summarized in our own words. They describe the ingredients, not tests of this product.

  • A review of decades of research on GHK-Cu described its role in skin remodeling, including supporting collagen and elastin production and the skin's own repair processes, and summarized gene data showing it influences many pathways linked to healthy skin.

  • Seventy-six women applied hyaluronic acid creams in five molecular weights around one eye and a plain cream around the other, twice a day for 60 days. Every hyaluronic acid cream significantly improved hydration and elasticity compared with the plain cream.

  • In human studies, astaxanthin used on the skin and taken by mouth improved the look of fine lines, elasticity and skin texture over 8 weeks.

  • UCSF dermatology researchers found a natural lipid mixture of animal origin, rich in cholesterol and fatty acids, sped up barrier recovery and raised skin moisture within two hours. It's the idea behind feeding skin real animal fats like tallow.

  • Creams with 1% or 5% panthenol, the provitamin form of B5, significantly reduced water loss through the skin after 30 days of daily use.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Instead of one hero ingredient, it combines copper peptides, multi-weight hyaluronic acid, astaxanthin, vitamin B5 and barrier lipids in one cream, so you can simplify your routine.

  • Yes. Apply 1–2 pumps to clean, slightly damp skin once or twice a day.

  • No. It's a light cream, not a balm, so it absorbs within a minute and works well under makeup or SPF.

  • Yes. Apply our Elemental C serum first in the morning, then Dream Cream on top.

  • It contains water, and anything with water needs protection from mold and bacteria. We use Eco-Certified Geogard™ with a probiotic ferment instead of parabens or phenoxyethanol.

  • It's fragrance-free and includes calming allantoin and vitamin B5. As with anything new, patch test first.
