The perfect end to my skincare regime.
Use daily after my TWGY oil. Love, love, love this duo. My skin feels nourished, hydrated & soothed. Very important for this almost 50 year old with delicate, sensitised skin prone to redness.

Lovely & nourishing.
Early days but finding this is helping my flakey skin around nose & on chin. Would be 5 stars but the packaging (the lid) is just too bulky, takes up heaps of room in my cabinet & is awkward to undo. Please think about changing this!!

Thank you for sharing your experience with us Sarah — we hear you loud and clear. We’re so glad the formula is already helping with your flaky skin, and we completely understand your thoughts on the lid. Behind the scenes, our team is exploring ways to make our packaging sleeker, easier to open, and more cabinet-friendly, without compromising the integrity of the product. Your feedback is helping shape that process, and we’re grateful you took the time to share it.

I have been using this products and my skin is feeling softer and hydrated like never before. I have noticed my skin looking brighter too. I find my makeup stays on longer throughout the day too.

TWYG’s Restorative Hydration Cream is an award-winning natural face cream that delivers intensive hydration and antioxidant protection in one silky, luxurious formula. At its heart is Bioactive Totarol™, a rare New Zealand extract sustainably harvested from fallen Tōtara trees. Clinically shown to be 7× stronger than Vitamin E, Totarol helps fight free radical damage, reduce inflammation, and preserve youthful radiance. This anti-aging moisturiser is enriched with Kakadu Plum, Squalane, Shea Butter, and Jojoba Esters to deeply hydrate, brighten, and restore skin resilience. Recognised globally for performance and sustainability, this is eco-luxury skincare that blends forest wisdom with biotech precision.

Why You Need a Hydration Cream

Every day, your skin loses water through exposure to pollution, UV rays, and daily stress. Without replenishment, this leads to dryness, fine lines, and premature aging. A hydrating cream works to seal in moisture, rebuild the skin barrier, and lock in nutrients from serums and treatments. The Restorative Hydration Cream gives your skin the support it needs to remain plump, supple, and glowing, while protecting it against environmental stressors. It’s the perfect finishing step in your daily skincare routine.

Key Ingredients

Bioactive Totarol™ – Antioxidant powerhouse, 7× stronger than Vitamin E; supports collagen health and anti-aging defense.
Kakadu Plum (natural Vitamin C) – Brightens, reduces pigmentation, boosts luminosity.
Squalane – Lightweight hydration, replenishes the barrier, and locks in moisture.
Shea Butter & Avocado Extract – Rich in essential fatty acids to soften, nourish, and repair.
Jojoba Esters – Balance oil production and condition skin for a smooth, even finish.

Benefits & Skin Issues Supported

Dryness & dehydration → Provides intense moisture for smoother, plumper skin.
Fine lines & wrinkles → Totarol and squalane improve elasticity and minimize visible signs of aging.
Dullness & uneven tone → Kakadu Plum brightens and restores radiance.
Environmental damage → Antioxidants defend against pollution and UV stress.
Sensitive skin → Gentle, clean, COSMOS-compliant formula free from parabens, silicones, and synthetic fragrance.
