Key ingredients

  • Hinokitiol
    Hinokitiol is Riversol’s signature antioxidant, derived from the Pacific red cedar. Riversol founder and award-winning dermatologist Dr. Jason Rivers was first introduced to its potential during his time teaching at UBC, and made it the foundation of Riversol formulas. Known for its antioxidant properties, hinokitiol helps improve skin clarity, brighten the look of dark spots and support a more even-looking complexion.

  • Vitamin E
    Also known as "the protector", Vitamin E it is a potent antioxidant, well documented to help reduce the look of sun damage in sensitive skin, while hydrating and replenishing the skin's moisture barrier.

  • Vitamin C
    The Riversol vitamin C (Aminopropyl Ascorbyl Phosphate) is 10x more photostable than traditional vitamin C. This means lasting antioxidant protection to reduce the look of fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots.

  • Shea Butter
    Shea butter is a gentle and effective moisturizer. It contains oleic acid, a saturated fatty acid which is highly compatible with the sebum naturally produced by human skin. This makes Shea Butter readily absorbed and is said to help the absorption of other active ingredients.

FAQ

 

Daily Moisturizing Cream FAQ

Daily Cream, Concentrate or Lightweight: which suits my skin?

Choose by skin type. Daily Moisturizing Cream is a silky cream for normal to dry and combination skin. Moisturizing Concentrate is our richest formula, a thick balm for very dry skin and harsh, dry winters. Lightweight Moisturizing Lotion is a light lotion for oily or breakout-prone skin. If your skin changes with the seasons, you can switch between them.

Is it made for sensitive skin?

Yes. Developed by Dr. Rivers for sensitive skin, it's formulated without parabens and without added fragrance, including masking scents. Fragrance is one of the most common causes of skin irritation. Its silky cream delivers instant moisture and helps replenish the moisture barrier, without feeling heavy or greasy. Your first full-product order is covered by our 30-day money-back guarantee.

Will it feel greasy or heavy?

No, not at a pea-sized amount, which is all your whole face needs. It's a silky, concentrated cream made to moisturize without feeling heavy or greasy; more than that can leave a shine. If your skin is oily, Lightweight Moisturizing Lotion is the better fit.

Where does it go with my serum or retinol?

Last, after your serum, morning and night. On retinol evenings, apply your retinol to dry skin, wait 10 minutes, then smooth on a pea-sized amount of the cream: it locks in moisture while your skin adjusts. In the morning, finish with sunscreen.

Does it have SPF?

No, it doesn't contain sunscreen. In the morning, apply it first, let it absorb, then finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher, such as our Daily Glow Mineral Sunscreen.

Will it work under makeup and sunscreen?

Yes. Apply a pea-sized amount after your serum and let it absorb before sunscreen and makeup. Too much cream can pill or leave a film under makeup, so start with a pea-sized amount and add more only where your skin still feels dry.

How long will one jar last?

About 3 months, used morning and night. The 50 mL jar holds enough for a pea-sized amount each time, and the 15 mL size lasts about 1 month. More product won't give you better results, and too much can pill or feel heavy. That's how long it takes to use up, not how long it keeps once opened.

What is hinokitiol?

Hinokitiol is our signature antioxidant, found naturally in the Pacific Red Cedar and studied for decades. It's a natural antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant with other skin-revitalizing properties, and in our formulas it helps to even skin tone, reduce the look of sun damage and correct dark spots.
