It's a day cream, a night cream, a facial moisturizer and a make-up base. This odorless and greaseless cream heals skin and helps it retain moisture. It has a soothing effect on skin irritated by the sun.

Eventual loss of elasticity and tissue moisture may occur. Tissue growth slows down leading to skin with an 'aged' appearance. Four-in-One cream puts elastin back into skin relining the skin fiber. It promotes moisture binding in the skin's epidermal layer and serves as a building material in forming new tissue. As new elastin fibers are generated, scaliness and wrinkles seem to dissappear. This exciting cream strengthens existing elastin fibers and helps skin form new ones. Skin will look and feel its best as it gets healthier. top |
