Everyone panicked when Farmacy changed the formula. I almost did too.
The old version felt like a warm hug for dry skin. The new one? It’s a faster, less clingy friend — still shows up, but doesn’t overstay its welcome.

It’s a ceramide-rich cream for $46. Claims to hydrate for 24 hours. I was skeptical — most “24-hour” claims are a lie.
New Squalane Base
Replaced some shea butter. Feels lighter, less greasy on my T-zone.
Triple Ceramide Complex
Three types now. My barrier felt reinforced by day four.
Honey Extract Still Here
Same sticky, soothing vibe. Just less heavy.

Old formula relied on shea butter and beeswax for thickness. New one swapped in squalane and more ceramides. It’s now better for oily-combo skin, but dry skin might miss the occlusive punch.
- Squalane: Lightweight hydration, sinks in 10 seconds
- Ceramide NP: Repairs barrier overnight
- Honey: Antimicrobial, soothes redness
- Propolis: Fights inflammation, smells like a spa

First pump: thinner, almost gel-cream. Absorbs in 15 seconds — no sticky residue. My nose didn’t shine by noon.
Week two: my chin flakes vanished. But I missed that “locked-in” feeling the old version gave me. It’s a trade-off.

My redness dropped by half. Pores looked smaller — less clogged. But I needed a heavier night cream on top during winter.

Not a downgrade — just a different creature. Works better for my summer routine than winter. Still a solid buy, but don’t expect the old magic.
