The cult-favorite barrier-building ceramide moisturiser, now sized for convenience. So mini that it goes wherever you go.
in my defence is a daily moisturiser that restores and fortifies your skin barrier - the foundation of healthy skin. At its core is a patented blend of five ceramides at 1% (20x higher than industry standard), paired with cholesterol and fatty acids in the optimal 3:1:1 ratio to mirror your skin’s natural lipids. This means it doesn’t just sit on the surface; it actively repairs and strengthens your skin.
It contains 40% Portulaca Extract water, also known as the fountain of youth, which has extreme skin healing benefits, and combined with 1% Acai Berry, Bisabolol, Panthenol and Allantoin, the formula instantly calms skin irritation or redness. The texture is lightweight yet nourishing, cocooning your skin without heaviness. Whether you’re dealing with post-breakout recovery, retinol dryness, or barrier fatigue, in my defence is your daily source of strength - always in your defence and silently rebuilding your skin barrier.
