The Healing is Real

Extracted from the extracellular matrix of upcycled bone, these naturally-derived peptides have superior bioavailability compared to artificial/synthetic, and are clinically proven to support tissue regeneration by reducing inflammation, oxidation, and skin damage. 


Independent clinical studies showed statistically significant improvements in barrier function, barrier repair, density, hydration, hyperpigmentation, and global fine lines and wrinkles. Improvements are seen within 4-6 weeks of consistent use.

Reviews

Soft, Hydrated & Bouncy Skin

"I’ve really enjoyed using the Sweet Chemistry Elasticity Reinforcing Hydra-Cream. The texture is rich and creamy but absorbs nicely without feeling heavy or greasy. It leaves my skin feeling soft, smooth, deeply hydrated, and comfortable throughout the day. I also noticed that my skin looks more plump, fresh, and healthy after using it. It layers well with my other skincare products and feels gentle on my skin. A lovely moisturizer for adding hydration and improving the overall feel of my skin. I gonna buy again."

Perfect for a Stressed Skin Barrier

"I really love this moisturizer! I started using it when I introduced tretinoin back into my routine and my skin barrier was definitely struggling with redness and irritation. This cream helped calm my skin down pretty quickly and made it feel much more comfortable. The texture is also perfect for my combination skin. It feels hydrating without being heavy or greasy and sinks in really nicely. My skin feels soft and moisturized afterward, but not like there’s a thick layer sitting on top. Definitely one I’ll keep reaching for, especially when my skin is feeling sensitive or irritated."

— Julia (5/5)

Significant improvement in scar!

"I purchased this after watching a Penn Smith skincare video review of this brand. My intent was to try it on a surgical scar from breast cancer surgery from a year ago. My scar was very pink/red and I assumed that it was as good as it was going to be after 1 yr. After using this daily, I can see a great improvement in the discoloration of the scar! Even though this scar is not visible to the public, it is a painful reminder of the last year. I cannot recommend this product enough. Will be repurchasing."

— MJ (5/5)

Great for oily skin

"I really liked this moisturizer, I have naturally oily skin, so finding a good moisturizer that’s lightweight and doesn’t feel greasy is difficult sometimes, but this one checks all my boxes. The texture is also really smooth and buttery and it absorbs great into the skin. I also feel like my skin looks more hydrated and glowy when using this. I like to use it morning and night as the last step in my routine. I also have very acne prone skin and this did not irritate it. I’d definitely would recommend this. *This review was collected as part of a promotional campaign"

Happy!

"I was sooo happy to receive such a high quality hydrating cream! I am always eager to try and give me very honest opinions of such products! i am really sooo enjoying this experience especially now during summer time where skin damages are the most! This gives the amazing boosting elasticity, doesn’t let your skin damage a lot from summer heat and gives the best moisture! I really love this cream and would literally recommend it to anyone I know and would buy this again and again! Get it if you want something to heal your skin!"

Great moisturizer

"Such a good moisturizer! Elasticity reinforcing hydra-cream from Sweet Chemistry has a lightweight buttery texture that gives satin finish. It improves skin barrier and density in 4 weeks of consistent use. You can definitely see results, that’s great! This cream absorbs fast because it contains less water than traditional creams. It makes the skin visibly stronger and more hydrated, of course. You can use it twice a day. I think this cream is perfect for anyone with dry or combination skin. Would definitely recommend!"

WINTER HYDRATE

"This is my first product I have tried from Sweet Chemistry. It is the Elasticity Reinforcing Hydra Cream. I was drawn to this moisturizer due to all the peptides and ceramides that were in the ingredients. The package is labeled for combo to oily skin. My skin is more on the combo to dry side. The texture of the cream was smooth and it was hydrating. I used an extra pump to be sure I had a little more on my skin. There is no smell and I also used it as a neck cream. I did receive this product in return for my honest review. I most likely wouldn't purchase this product but would recommend for someone on the more oily side."

Good moisturizer for oily skin

"I like this moisturizer, it felt nice on my skin when I applied it. I noticed it is for oily skin because I have dry skin and it was a bit too dry for me. I love the formula though. The packaging was also nice I love the copper brown bottle. It’s easy to dispense and gives you a gentle amount so you don’t over use. I used this on days where my skin was oily and I really liked it after my make up was set. This was usually on a warmer day. It didn’t irritate my skin or cause any bad reactions. It’s nice for oily skin."

— luckyb17 (5/5)

All in one moisturizer

"As a licensed professional, I find this to be a sophisticated and impressive moisturizer if you care about hydration, skin barrier support, plumpness, and early anti aging. This is catered for combo/oily skin which I do have and I find it the moisturizer not heavy and feels nice on my skin. I also love how this moisturizer has tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, which is an oil soluble vitamin C derivative. It also contains ceramides/cholesterol and amino-acid/humectant components intended to support the skin barrier."

— maaggyy (5/5)

Amazing formula

"I’m a person who loves when my skincare products comes in a beautiful packaging, this one exceeds my expectations. I do care about the formula and benefits of the product, that’s the main reason why I buy them, this product also exceeds my expectations. I have a combination skin type and sometimes applying products that are made with ingredients to help your skin to keep hydrated makes part of my face feels oily. With this product I never noticed that issue, my face always looking radiant and alive. I totally recommend it."
