Ectoin Cream & Ectoin Serum

What is ectoin?

Ectoin is a so-called extremolyte: a natural protective molecule that microorganisms produce to protect their cells from heat, UV radiation, salt and dryness. In skincare, ectoin is obtained biotechnologically and transfers this protective effect to the skin.

• Binds moisture: ectoin surrounds itself with a shell of water and protects the skin from drying out.
• Strengthens resilience: it stabilises the skin's barrier and protects against environmental stress such as pollution and blue light.
• Calms: ectoin is very well tolerated and soothes stressed, sensitive skin.

Ectoin is also contained in the Sensitive Heal Mask, the Hyaluron Mask and THE BEST Eye.

Your routine with ectoin

• OPEN: cleanse your skin thoroughly but gently.
• TREAT: apply the Cross Lift Serum Ultrapeptide as your ectoin serum.
• CLOSE: finish with an ectoin cream, for example the Blue-Light Power Cream for everyday digital life or THE BEST Face for demanding skin.
• During the day: ectoin complements your sun protection but does not replace it. You will find suitable products in our face sunscreen collection.

For sensitive skin, see our collection skincare for sensitive skin. If your skin tends to redness, you will find targeted care in our cream for redness. Men will find their complete line in our collection men's facial care.

Frequently asked questions about ectoin creams and serums

• What does ectoin do for the skin?
  Ectoin binds moisture, strengthens the skin's resilience and protects against environmental stress such as pollution and blue light. It also calms sensitive, stressed skin.
• Ectoin cream or ectoin serum?
  Both complement each other. The Cross Lift Serum Ultrapeptide works as the concentrated TREAT step, and an ectoin cream such as the Blue-Light Power Cream seals the actives in.
• Who is ectoin suitable for?
  Ectoin is very well tolerated and suitable for all skin types, especially for sensitive, dry or stressed skin and for skin exposed to screen work and city life.
• Is it the same ectoin as in nasal sprays?
  Yes, it is the same molecule. In medical products, ectoin is used for its protective and moisturising effect. In skincare, it protects and calms the skin.
• Can I combine ectoin with other actives?
  Yes. Ectoin works very well with peptides, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and vitamin C, which is why it is combined with these actives in our formulas.
