High Quality

This is one of the nicest moisturizers I have used to date! It is not too heavy and the skin improvements have been significant in such a short time. It also works lovely as a base under makeup

super hydrating

I've used this cream a number of times in the past & decided to come back toit to see if it could help re-set my facial balance after developing small patches of psoriasis on my cheeks and eyebrow. My GP is reluctant to prescribe anything stronger than emollient cream because it's on my face - I've tried a few & they haven't helped.
I initially used the Cult 51 Illuminating Day Cream four times per day for 2 weeks on the very small patches of psoriasis on my face. After just 1 week with the illuminating cream, the inflammation & redness was reduced considerably. 3rd week reduced to 3 times per day and the individual lesions are definitely fading & I'm getting fewer new spots developing. Obviously the added bonus is that my whole face is also looking and feeling so much fresher & better!

A Retinol-Free Approach to Skincare

At Cult51, we've made a deliberate choice not to incorporate retinol into our products. While retinol offers benefits, its potential for irritation and sensitivity doesn't align with our commitment to gentle skincare solutions suitable for all. We prioritise your skin's health and safety above all else.

Instead of retinol, we focus on innovative ingredients that deliver effective results without compromise. Our formulations feature advanced peptides, hydrating hyaluronic acids, and potent antioxidants like vitamin C. These ingredients work synergistically to promote youthful radiance and skin vitality.

Join us in embracing a skincare approach that's effective, gentle, and designed with your well-being in mind.
