The benefits of fruit extracts on the skin

We all know fruit is a vital part of our diet, but it’s also incredibly beneficial when applied topically. We’re not going to be applying pureed watermelons to our t-zone anytime soon – but we like the fact that Dr. Spiller Biomimetic Skin Care Fresh & Fruit Moisturising Cream is packed to the gills with powerful fruit extracts.

This rich and comforting cream is an exotic and refreshing blend of fruit extracts, including Mango, Papaya and Pineapple that are rich in Vitamins, Minerals and Enzymes. In a lightweight matte formulation to hydrate, care and stimulate for a visibly younger vitalised complexion.

Mango Fruit Extract is extremely high in Vitamin A, C and Beta Carotene,  and helps to prevent the appearance of fine lines and drying of skin. By preventing the deterioration of the skin, it helps to maintain the elasticity of the skin.

Papaya Fruit Extract is known as an excellent for balancing the oiliness of the skin. It can be used in lotions, soaps, scrubs, creams and other skin care products to give a rejuvenated look to the skin.

Pineapple Powder is known to contain the fruit enzyme ‘bromelain’. It is an effective exfoliant that sloughs off dead cells on the surface of the skin while imparting benefits. It can also act as an astringent to use in facial toners. Pineapple Powder is also a wonderful source of natural color and adds a sharp, crisp citrus like scent that adds to its cleansing and invigorating properties.

Dr. Spiller Biomimetic Skin Care Fresh & Fruit Moisturising Cream is ideal for dry, dehydrated and combination skin types.

A beneficial exotic day and night cream with Pineapple, Mango, Papaya Extracts and Apricot kernel oil to provide the skin with light peeling and revitalizing effect. The skin is refreshed and hydrated with a youthful complexion.

To be used as day and/or night cream. Apply to a cleansed and toned face, neck and décolleté after application of appropriate serum morning and evening. Massage into skin until fully absorbed.
