What My Hero Cream Does for Your Skin
My Hero was created for skin that reacts to everything else, skin that’s sensitive, tight, oily but dry, or constantly battling flakiness, redness, and inflammation.
This isn’t just another moisturiser with a trendy label. It’s a well-balanced, science-led formula built to support your skin barrier, the part of your skin responsible for locking in hydration and defending against stress, irritation, and premature aging.
Repairs and strengthens your skin barrier
Your barrier is your skin’s first line of defence, and when it’s compromised, everything else stops working. My Hero is designed to rebuild that barrier using skin-friendly lipids like olive squalane, jojoba oil, and Olivem 1000. These biomimetic oils mimic the structure of your skin’s own sebum, helping restore balance without clogging pores.
Hydrates deeply without heaviness
Many moisturisers for sensitive skin feel greasy, thick, or don’t hydrate at all. My Hero uses a layered hydration system:
Hyaluronic acid draws moisture into the skin
Glycerin and panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) help hold onto it
Aloe vera adds lightweight, calming hydration
The result? Skin that feels plump, calm, and replenished, not sticky or shiny.
Calms irritation and reduces visible redness
With sensitive skin, inflammation isn’t just a symptom, it’s the core issue. This formula includes powerful natural extracts that are well-tolerated, even on delicate skin:
Sea buckthorn CO₂ - antioxidant-rich and barrier-repairing
Chamomile CO₂ - calming, anti-redness, anti-inflammatory
Cucumber glycerol extract - cooling and hydrating
Together, they support healing, reduce visible redness, and help soothe irritation over time.
Supports skin health long-term
We’ve also included niacinamide, a multi-functional vitamin that helps to:
Strengthen the skin’s natural defences
Regulate oil production
Brighten uneven tone
Improve skin texture
Reduce the appearance of fine lines over time
It’s included at a gentle but effective level, suitable for daily use, even on sensitive or redness-prone skin.
How to use it
• Apply 1–2 pumps of My Hero Cream to clean, dry skin, morning and/or evening.
• Gently massage into face and neck until fully absorbed.
• Follow with SPF during the day.
Patch Test First (Important)
Before first use, perform a patch test:
1. Apply a small amount behind your ear or on your inner forearm.
2. Wait 24 hours.
3. If no redness, stinging, or irritation occurs, proceed to full-face application.
If You Experience Tingling or Irritation
Don’t worry, a slight tingling feeling can happen, especially if your skin barrier is compromised or you’re new to ingredients like niacinamide or sea buckthorn extract.
Here’s how to gently introduce it:
• Start slow: Use once a day or every other day for the first week.
• Buffer: Apply over damp skin or on top of a gentle hydrating serum to dilute the formula slightly.
• Monitor: If tingling fades after a few uses, that’s a sign your barrier is adjusting.
• If irritation persists (burning, prolonged redness, or flaking), discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
Why Might This Happen?
My Hero is formulated to support and rebuild your barrier, but if your skin is severely impaired, even barrier-loving actives can feel intense at first.
That’s why slow introduction is key. Once your skin adjusts, you’ll likely notice reduced redness, smoother texture, and longer-lasting hydration.
