WHAT IS IT?
Like a cool, refreshing tide sweeping across your skin, this lightweight, organic moisturiser has been carefully formulated for those with oily or blemish-prone complexions.
WHAT DOES IT DO?
Using 100% naturally derived ingredients, the rebalancing formula works to protect and nourish your skin’s microbiome.
While prebiotics stabilise sebum levels and defend against blemish-causing bacteria, blue spirulina refines pore appearance and blueberry seed extract brightens.
With a cream-gel texture that’s instantly absorbing, cooling and soothing, it’s ideal for anyone who struggles with spots.
And, with no silicones in sight, it provides a shine-free finish that sits perfectly under makeup.
Better still, Fresh Waves is available as part of our money-saving Essential Collection. Buy today and save £22.

Hyaluronic Acid
Did we mention how amazing this is for skin? High molecular weights act as bodyguards to protect the top layers of skin from moisture loss, while the medium and low molecular weights can get busy keeping the cells below the surface topped up without any disturbances from the outside environment.UK Delivery

Discover the potent ingredients that deeply cleanse, strengthen, and restore your skin – this is where science meets self-care.
At the heart of our Smoothing Cleanser is jojoba oil: a golden, skin-loving liquid that closely mimics your skin's own natural oils. That means it deeply cleansers without disrupting your delicate moisture barrier. Rich in vitamins E and B-complex, jojoba oil gently melts away makeup, sunscreen, and daily build-up, while keeping your skin nourished and balanced. It's non-comedogenic (so it won't clog pores), making it ideal for all skin types, from dry and sensitive to oily and blemish-prone. We chose jojoba for its versatility and skin compatibility, but you'll stay for the silky-soft glow it leaves behind.

"Seeking a moisturiser that actually soaks into my skin rather than sit on top. Have used skin feast for years and this was recommended. It's lighter but still doesn't fully absorb so sadly I shall be looking elsewhere for one that works."
"This moisturiser is perfect. I have dry skin and dermatitis around the eyebrows. This moisturiser has stopped the dryness in these areas and I have a brighter complexion. It does not feel greasy or heavy and melts into the skin."
"It’s still early days but I think my skin needs a lot more moister than this. Very very lightweight. Smells great though, reminds me of an innocent smoothie."
"Used a full bottle of this hoping to see improvement. I could tell it prevented oily skin during the day but I had no improvement with my blemishes. I noticed around my mouth I had breakouts"
"My teen daughter hasn't been using it all that long. But she is loving the feel of it on her skin. And it smells lovely too"
"Fresh Waves moisturiser is very light and gives my skin just enough hydration after my other Tropic skin routine."
"This is my second time of purchasing and I wouldn’t be with out it now"
"I bought this as part of a balance discovery kit for my daughter and she loves the cream. It smells very nice and it feels very light but very mosturizing. It works well with the make up products she uses. She does not need to use a lot of cream."
"Good, product nice and cooling. However it was out of its packaging on arrival"
"Beautiful fragrance and lovely and light on my skin. My daughter loves it too! (Age 8)"
