MERMAID MILK is a light, water-based cream built on aloe juice, matcha and spirulina that sinks in quickly and leaves a soft, demi-matte finish. Earth Harbor Naturals, a US brand founded by a toxicologist and herbalist, formulates around ocean and plant ingredients, and this is its daytime moisturiser for skin that runs normal to combination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMatcha and spirulina bring antioxidant cover to the moisturiser step.\u003c\/strong\u003e Matcha is a concentrated green tea rich in catechins, and spirulina adds its own pigments and amino acids, so the step that goes on every morning also carries antioxidant protection against daily oxidative stress.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHyaluronic acid and aloe juice hold water in the upper layers.\u003c\/strong\u003e Aloe leaf juice is the base of the formula, and sodium hyaluronate binds water at the surface, which is where the plump, comfortable feel comes from.

MERMAID MILK is a light cream, so it carries coconut and olive oils alongside its hydrators, which gives it more softening power than a gel while still absorbing fast and drying to a demi-matte finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does oily skin really need a moisturiser?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes. Oil and water are different things, and skin that produces plenty of oil can still be short of water. A light moisturiser that hydrates without adding shine keeps the surface comfortable, which is why this one leans on aloe juice and hyaluronic acid rather than heavy butters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Where does it go in a morning routine?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: After cleansing, any toner or essence and your serum, and before sunscreen. In the evening it is the last step, or swap it for something richer if your skin feels drier at night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA moisturiser that looks like nothing is on the skin is the one oily skin will actually wear every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"sn-claims\"\u003e\u003csmall\u003e* Earth Harbor's published results: 93% noticed all-day hydration, 97% experienced soothed skin, 93% smoother texture, 93% brighter, more even skin and 90% reduced redness, reported as immediate or after two weeks.
