Reviews

I am so thrilled to have found Crème Défense. It is rare to find a moisturizer with added UV protection that doesn't leave a greasy texture, or that actually feels like it hydrates and smoothes your skin. Look no further - this is my new go-to daily moisturizer!
— Julia

Highly recommend this day cream. Love everything about it, the formula, the packaging, and the fragrance that’s been used. Leaves my skin feeling luxurious.
— Simone

My favorite day cream. I love all the ingredients and the texture is very smooth. It goes well under my make up and I feel extra protected. I love all Chatelier products. I love that they are organic. Thank you for caring for my skin.Published date08/04/26

I didn’t realize how stripped my skin was until I started using Crème Défense. It’s helped restore balance, especially around my cheeks and jaw. I’ve had fewer flare-ups and a much more even tone.
— Tessa L.

This is my go-to after cleansing in the morning. It makes my skin feel immediately comfortable, especially in winter when everything feels tight and dry. The added UV protection is such a bonus.
— Maren A.

I wanted something that would protect my skin from the sun but still feel luxurious—and this is it. It’s rich but not suffocating, and it leaves my skin feeling bouncy and smooth.
— Elinora B.

I’ve always struggled with day creams either being too heavy or not hydrating enough. This one is just perfect. It gives me a soft glow, sits well under makeup, and protects my skin throughout the day without clogging my pores.
— Sylvie R.

Another one i love from Chatelier. I first started with the eye cream and then the brightening serum. I know tried the defence cream and I am obsessed with every formula they create! My skin has never looked better, so calm and nourished. Thank you for creating such wonderful products.
— Susanna

Crème Défense is a game-changer! It not only protects my skin from UV-A rays but also leaves it feeling hydrated and looking more youthful. I love how my skin looks these days since i started using it. I also received multiple compliments from people telling me my skin looks so good. Highly recommend!

Green Tea

Green tea extract inhibits the enzyme tyrosinase, reducing melanin production and preventing age spots, resulting in a more even skin tone.

Citric Acid

Citric Acid, a natural AHA, stimulates cell renewal by exfoliating dead skin cells and promoting new cell turnover, enhancing skin texture and brightening complexion for a youthful appearance.

Horsetail

Horsetail extract, rich in the mineral Silica, stimulates collagen production, enhancing skin strength, firmness, and elasticity by providing essential building blocks for collagen fibers.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C inhibits tyrosinase, reducing melanin production, which brightens the skin and diminishes dark spots for a more even skin tone.
