Soothing Nutrient-Rich Face Creams

Gentle Armor by Day + West is a Nourishing Face and Neck Cream

Beauty brand Day + West boasts a nourishing face and neck cream that is powered by clinically proven ingredients. The lightweight formula features the company's proprietary antioxidant-rich Phyto Resilience Blend™, alongside plant-derived squalane, hyaluronic acid, calendula, niacinamide, and bakuchiol.

Gentle Armor, the name of the product, promises to bring a multitude of benefits to one's skin, including a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The face and neck cream effectively stimulates collagen production and promotes suppleness through the moisturizing powers of plant-derived squalane and hyaluronic acid. Calendula, on the other hand, effectively soothes the skin and the Phyto Resilience Blend™ adds a layer of protection. Through the inclusion of bakuchiol, the popular retinol alternative, Day + West ensures its formula is suitable for all skin types.
