FUL.VIC Health Fulvic Face Cream

Fulvic acid is a bit of a magic ingredient: a supercharged antioxidant which helps protect skin's 'bounce-back' factor, keeping collagen and elastin in fine fettle, which in turn can help to plump, smooth and diminish the appearance of smaller lines and wrinkles.

FUL.VIC Health is a brand entirely devoted to those marvels of fulvic acid. And our thirsty, centrally-heated winter skins are reminded of the wonders of this face version: a luscious, rich, unscented moisturiser which is instantly quenching, soothing and comforting.

There are few bells and whistles here, although our skins are also enjoying FUL.VIC Face Cream's other kind-to-skin elements: green tea extract, vitamin E, Moroccan argan oil and Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA), with plant-derived squalane to boost natural lipid levels. The result is an improved barrier function (to help prevent skin's own moisture from escaping), a smooth, make-up ready surface, and a general feeling of comfort. (This is suitable even for the most sensitive and rosacea-prone skins.)

What we also like about Fulvic Face Cream is that (ignore the name for a mo), it multi-tasks as an all-over body cream. TBH, you could even use it as a cleansing cream, too. In fact, if you're about to take yourself off on a short-haul (NOW THAT THESE ARE POSSIBLE AGAIN!), you could simply pack this and (with the assistance of a hotel flannel, for make-up removal), keep your kit down to the barest of bare minimums.

In short, a one-tube wonder.
