Let's be honest about what Allantoin can really do, and what it can't.

What is Allantoin

Allantoin softens, soothes and encourages gentle skin renewal.

How Allantoin helps for wrinkles

Wrinkles form as collagen and elastin decline and photo-damage accumulates. Allantoin approaches the problem from a different angle: allantoin softens, soothes and encourages gentle skin renewal. As a result, used consistently, it gently improves the skin for wrinkles.

How to use it

  • Cleanse with a gentle, non-stripping product.
  • Apply allantoin to dry skin, starting 2–3 times a week.
  • Seal with a moisturiser to support the barrier.
  • Always use SPF 30+ in the morning.
