Finding a face cream that actually delivers without feeling heavy or greasy can be a challenge. The Cream was created to be that one product you reach for every day because it simply works. It is more than a moisturizer. It is a glow-focused facial essential that gives your complexion the kind of soft, healthy-looking radiance you want year-round.
We created this formula for people who want their skincare to work harder without asking them to work harder too. Below, you will find what sets it apart and why so many people have made it part of their daily routine.

Clean, Skin-Loving Ingredients at the Core
We believe in full ingredient transparency. No vague terms hide in our labels. Every ingredient was chosen for a specific skin benefit.
The formula starts with powerful hydrators that support long-lasting moisture. Shea butter softens and soothes while protecting skin from environmental stressors. It contains vitamins A, E, and F, antioxidants that research shows can help protect against environmental damage that dulls skin over time.
Vitamin E and passion fruit oil nourish without weighing skin down. Squalane, a skin-identical ingredient, mimics your skin's natural oils and absorbs instantly.

Ceramide 3 (also called Ceramide NP) is essential here. According to dermatological research, ceramides make up approximately 50% of the lipid content in the skin's outer layer, playing a crucial role in barrier function. They are essential for keeping your skin barrier strong. When that barrier is healthy, moisture stays in and irritants stay out.
Hyaluronic acid and glycerin work as humectants that pull water into the skin and lock it there. Together with the ceramides and shea butter, these ingredients create a complete hydration system that nourishes at every level.
Because the formula is clean, free from parabens, sulfates, silicones, phthalates, gluten, and synthetic fragrances, it reduces irritation risk and helps improve skin texture over time. The Cream is also vegan and cruelty-free.
A Texture Designed for Daily Use
The Cream's smooth, non-greasy texture absorbs within minutes, leaving your face soft and radiant, never shiny or sticky. You can apply it and move right into makeup or sunscreen. This lightweight formula works beautifully as a base for Sun Struck Tanning Face Drops; hydrated facial skin holds color evenly and prevents the dry patches that cause uneven development.
When your face cream also functions as self-tan prep, color-extending maintenance, and barrier repair, it replaces multiple products in your skincare routine.
The Cream's Role in a Glow-First Routine
Hydration is the secret to even self-tanning and longer-lasting radiance. Dry facial skin causes patchiness; moisturized skin helps gradual color develop smoothly and fade evenly.
The Cream fits every stage of your Lux Unfiltered facial routine:
-
Before tanning: Apply to create a smooth, hydrated canvas on your face. Let it absorb fully before adding Sun Struck Face Drops to your routine.
-
During your tanning cycle: Use daily on non-tanning days to maintain moisture and keep your facial color looking fresh and even.
-
After your tan fades: Continue daily application to keep your complexion in optimal condition for your next application. Healthy, nourished skin takes color better every time.
For body hydration and tan prep, pair The Cream with Tall Pour Conditioning Body Cream, your counterpart for everything below the neck. Together, they keep your glow seamless from face to body.
How The Cream Compares to Traditional Face Creams
Traditional face creams often rely on heavy oils, synthetic fragrances, and fillers that can irritate skin or interfere with self-tanning products. The Cream takes a different approach entirely.
Ceramide 3 strengthens your skin barrier from the inside. Hyaluronic acid provides deep, lasting moisture without heaviness. Shea butter softens and protects without creating a greasy film. No synthetic fragrances means no stinging and no interference with your self-tanner's scent profile.
This makes The Cream ideal for sensitive facial skin. It is multifunctional: hydration, self-tanner prep, barrier health, and a natural, nourished finish, all in one product.
Who Benefits Most
If your face often feels dry or tight, The Cream was made with you in mind. Humectants like glycerin and hyaluronic acid draw moisture in while emollients like shea butter seal it. Your complexion stays soft and nourished all day.
If you have sensitive skin, the clean formulation makes this a reliable choice. With no sulfates, parabens, synthetic fragrances, or gluten, and with soothing allantoin included, it is gentle enough for skin that reacts easily.
If you use Sun Struck Face Drops regularly, The Cream is your essential partner. It preps your face before application, maintains moisture between sessions, and extends the life of your facial color. Customers who use them together consistently report smoother, more even results.
If you love the look of a no-makeup glow, this delivers that too. Consistent daily hydration gives your face a natural radiance that comes from genuine skin health, not a product sitting on top.
How to Use The Cream for Best Results
For Daily Facial Hydration
Apply to slightly damp facial skin right after cleansing. This locks in moisture and helps ingredients absorb more deeply. Use it every morning and evening. Consistency builds long-term softness and that naturally nourished look.
When Layering With Tanning Products
Timing matters. On tanning days, apply The Cream and let it absorb fully (about ten minutes) before adding Sun Struck Face Drops. On non-tanning days, use it generously to maintain moisture and preserve your facial color.
For a Complete Glow Routine
Make The Cream your non-negotiable facial moisturizer. When skin stays hydrated daily, everything improves: texture, resilience, and how long your glow lasts. For body care, use Tall Pour Conditioning Body Cream to keep your body equally nourished. Add Fountain of Youth Hand Cream to keep your hands soft and your color even from head to toe.
Daily Hydration That Actually Becomes a Habit
Here is the problem most face creams create: you know how easy it is to skip skincare when a product feels heavy or sticky. Even good formulas get ignored when they slow you down or leave your skin feeling greasy. Then dryness creeps back, and that healthy glow you want never really sticks. Consistency is the hard part.
That is where The Cream is different. Its lightweight texture makes it easy to apply every day. It absorbs quickly, feels comfortable immediately, and works with everything else in your routine. When hydration becomes effortless, your skin starts to look naturally smoother and more radiant. And when you use Sun Struck Face Drops, every application goes on better because your skin is already in its best condition.

Can I use The Cream before or after self-tanning?

What is the difference between The Cream and Tall Pour?
The Cream is your daily face cream, formulated specifically for the delicate skin on your face. Tall Pour Conditioning Body Cream is your daily body moisturizer, designed for larger areas like arms, legs, and torso. Use both together for a seamless glow routine from face to body.
