Moisturising is the final step of a skincare routine — and one of the most essential.

Developed with Sonia Sélaire, the Apothéose moisturisers are designed as the closing step of the Synfonie skincare maestro range, helping to maintain hydration, support the skin barrier, and bring overall balance to the skin.

These formulas go beyond basic moisturisation. They combine humectants, emollients, and barrier-supporting ingredients to help retain moisture, reinforce the skin’s protective function, and improve overall skin comfort over time.

Designed to complement the active steps of the routine, they help support skin resilience and maintain a well-balanced skin environment.

Available in two textures, each is adapted to different skin needs:

Soin Caresse (Light Moisturiser) – A lightweight formula that provides hydration without heaviness, ideal for normal to combination skin or for daytime use
Soin Velours (Rich Moisturiser) – A more nourishing texture designed for dry or compromised skin, helping to support barrier function and provide lasting comfort

The Apothéose Moisturisers - A Dual Approach to Lasting Skin Health

Developed with Sonia Sélaire, the Apothéose moisturisers are designed as the final step of the Synfonie skincare maestro routine, supporting hydration, barrier function, and overall skin balance over time.

The formulas combine clinically recognised actives with ingredients selected to help maintain moisture, support skin comfort, and reinforce the skin barrier.

Available in two textures - light and rich - they adapt to different skin needs, offering either a lightweight daily finish or a more replenishing, comfort-focused application.

Soin Velours – Rich Moisturiser

A richer formula designed to support dry or depleted skin, particularly in the evening.

Formulated with squalane, sweet almond oil, and jojoba oil to provide emollient support and improve skin softness. Niacinamide and diglucosyl gallic acid contribute to skin tone uniformity and overall skin balance.

Ceramide NP helps reinforce the skin barrier and reduce moisture loss, supporting long-term skin comfort.

The texture provides a more substantial layer, helping maintain hydration and comfort overnight.

Perfect for: morning and/or evening routines, dry or mature skin, barrier support.

Advanced Science, Elevated Skincare

“This skincare collection is the result of several years spent analysing the real needs of the skin. I developed these formulas based on my experience and on an approach built around a precise balance between efficacy and pleasure of use. This collection reflects my vision of skin longevity: skincare designed to support the skin’s evolution with high standards, sensoriality, and coherence.” - Sonia Sélaire

Science-Backed Formulation

Both moisturisers are built around a core of clinically recognised ingredients chosen for their role in supporting long-term skin health:

Both Light and Rich Moisturisers

Ceramide NP: helps reinforce the skin's lipid barrier - the protective layer responsible for locking in moisture and shielding against environmental stressors. Research supports the role of ceramides in maintaining skin barrier integrity, particularly as natural ceramide levels decline with age (1).

0.1% Sodium Hyaluronate: This is a humectant (and form of hyaluronic acid) capable of binding significant amounts of moisture within the skin's surface layers, supporting plumpness and suppleness throughout the day (2).

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): is one of the most studied topical activities available, associated with improvements in skin tone, texture, and barrier function (3).

Tocopherol (Vitamin E): provides antioxidant support, helping to neutralise free radicals that contribute to visible skin ageing (4).

Diglucosyl Gallic Acid: a plant-derived antioxidant with brightening properties, rounding out the formula's protective profile (5).

Light moisturiser

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38: a signal peptide that supports the synthesis of key skin matrix proteins, making it a valued active in formulas focused on skin longevity and firmness over time (6).

Rich Moisturiser

Squalane & Sweet Almond Oil: deeply nourishing emollients that restore the skin's lipid profile and provide lasting comfort for dry and mature skin (7).

Natural Ingredients Supporting Skin From Within

Alongside these actives, both moisturisers are grounded in a thoughtful selection of natural emollients and plant-derived oils:

Our light moisturiser features Sunflower Seed Oil and Jojoba Esters:l ightweight, skin-compatible lipids that soften without congesting - alongside Glycerin for baseline hydration.

The rich moisturiser builds on this with the addition of Squalane (a highly compatible emollient derived from plant sources), Sweet Almond Oil, and Jojoba Seed Oil, creating a deeply nourishing yet balanced base that supports the skin's own lipid profile.

Naturecan's broader commitment to science-led wellness runs through everything from supplement development to skincare, and this collaboration is no exception. Explore our full Longevity Collection to see how this philosophy extends across the range.

The Skin Longevity Ritual - A Guided Sequence

Morning Routine

Prélude Cleanser - Begin with a gentle cleanse to prepare the skin
Crescendo Nectar Anti-Age Serum - Apply targeted actives to clean skin
Pampering Care Light Moisturiser - Press gently into skin, allowing it to absorb fully

Evening Routine

Prélude Cleanser - Double cleanse to remove SPF and the day
Crescendo Nectar Anti-Age Serum - Apply your evening treatment

1. What is a longevity cream and how is it different from a regular anti-ageing cream?

A longevity cream is designed to support skin quality over time, rather than focusing only on the immediate appearance of lines.

While some anti-ageing creams primarily target visible signs such as dryness or fine lines, a longevity-focused formula is built to support hydration, barrier function, and overall skin balance - key factors associated with maintaining healthier-looking skin over time.

2. What does "skin longevity" mean and why does it matter?

Skin longevity refers to the ability of the skin to maintain its quality over time - including hydration levels, barrier integrity, and overall balance.

It matters because the consistency and quality of your skincare routine have a cumulative effect. Supporting the skin daily helps preserve its condition over time, rather than only addressing visible signs once they appear.

3. At what age should I start using a longevity cream?

There is no single answer, but many skin experts suggest that the mid-to-late twenties is a natural point to begin incorporating longevity-focused skincare.

4. Can a longevity cream actually slow down skin ageing?

While no topical product can stop the ageing process, formulas containing clinically studied ingredients, such as peptides, ceramides, and antioxidants, can meaningfully support how your skin ages.

5. What should I look for in a longevity moisturiser?

Prioritise formulas containing a combination of hydrating actives (such as Sodium Hyaluronate), barrier-supporting lipids (such as Ceramide NP), antioxidants (such as Tocopherol), and peptides (such as Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38). Avoid products that lead with fragrance or filler ingredients, and look for transparent, science-backed formulations with a clear rationale behind each ingredient.

6. Is a longevity moisturiser suitable for all skin types?

Yes - though the right formula will depend on your skin's individual needs. Our light moisturiser suits oily, combination, and normal skin types, while the rich moisturiser is particularly well-suited to dry and mature complexions. Both have been developed to work with a broad range of skin types without causing irritation or congestion.

7. What's the difference between a light and rich moisturiser - how do I choose?

The main difference lies in texture, level of nourishment, and how they fit within your routine.

A light moisturiser provides hydration without heaviness and absorbs quickly, making it suitable for daytime use or for those who prefer a more weightless finish.

A rich moisturiser offers a higher level of emollient support, helping to reinforce the skin barrier and maintain comfort - particularly in the evening, when the skin is more receptive to replenishing formulas.

Both Apothéose moisturisers have been designed to complement active treatments such as Crescendo nectar anti-âge. When used in the evening, they help support skin comfort and reduce the likelihood of dryness or visible reactivity that can occur with vitamin A derivatives.

The choice depends on your skin type and your tolerance to actives:

lighter textures for normal to combination skin or daytime use
richer textures for dry or more reactive skin, or when additional comfort is needed

8. Can I wear a light moisturiser under makeup?

Yes. Both Apothéose moisturisers can be worn under makeup, depending on your preferred finish and skin type.

Soin Caresse (Light Moisturiser) absorbs quickly and provides a smooth, lightweight base that layers well under SPF and foundation.

Soin Velours (Rich Moisturiser) can also be used under makeup, particularly on drier skin..

Allow one to two minutes for the product to settle before applying the next step.

9. Is a rich moisturiser better for dry or mature skin?

A rich moisturiser is particularly well-suited to both. Dry skin benefits from the deeper emollient content, which helps restore the lipid barrier and prevent moisture loss overnight. Mature skin, which naturally produces less sebum and is more prone to dehydration, benefits from the combination of occlusive and humectant ingredients that a richer formula provides. Our Velvet Care formula addresses both concerns with its blend of Squalane, Sweet Almond Oil, and Sodium Hyaluronate.

10. How long does it take to see results from this face cream?

Most users notice an immediate improvement in skin softness and comfort from the first application.

For more visible changes - such as improvements in skin tone, texture, and firmness - a consistent routine of four to eight weeks is generally recommended, in line with the skin’s natural renewal cycle.

When used alongside Crescendo, as part of a structured evening routine, results may be enhanced, as the moisturiser helps support skin comfort and maintain optimal conditions for active ingredients.

As with all skincare, the most meaningful results come with regular, long-term use.
