Tired of shielding creams with complex formulations? With this ultra-moisturising gel-cream, Marc Jacobs returns to the basics of care with a quartet of effective ingredients. Youthquake has 5 per cent hyaluronic acid, a hint of carambola extract and dragon fruit antioxidant, but especially 54 per cent pineapple water with extraordinary anti-ageing properties.

Loaded with bromelain to remove dead cells, this component also effectively fights free radicals. Icing on the cake, it is rich in vitamin C and is an ally of collagen, thus promotes the elasticity of the epidermis.

The result

Thanks to the fruit enzymes present in it, the product gives a resurfacing effect that smoothens the complexion and plumps the skin. This magic formula was used to prep the skin of the models at the Fall/Winter’19 runway show by the brand and earned rave reviews.

Designed for normal to dry skin, it gently exfoliates dead cells and works wonders to give a flawless finish. With its moisturising and retexturising properties, Youthquake is the ideal base for a long-lasting makeup.
