Hydrating Day Defence

Yes. Every anti-ageing essential has been certified vegan by PETA.

Absolutely. Every anti-ageing essential has been certified cruelty-free by PETA.

We don’t use parabens, glycols, or sodium laureth sulphates (SLSs) in any of our anti-ageing essentials, nor will we in the future.

Yes and we’d love to explain why. We use high concentrations of active natural ingredients that science has proven will create change in the skin – our primary motivation. However, some of these ingredients can smell particularly unpleasant in their natural state, more so when they’re applied to the skin. And this is why we’ve incorporated small amounts of synthetic fragrance into our formulations, with the exception of our Cellular Eye Repair, to help balance their overall scent. Essential oils are sometimes used in skincare to mask the scent of natural ingredients however we find that they can often be the source of irritation in the skin which is why we choose to use small amounts of synthetic fragrance instead.

Yes we do. We love and respect our environment and are mindful of the impact ELLUS & KRUE has on that environment. That’s why all of our packaging is made from recyclable and renewable materials. We also use plant-based inks, biodegradable wrapping paper, and mail satchels made from 100% recyclable material. We know we’re not perfect but we’re continually looking for ways in which we can lighten our environmental footprint, now and into the future. And we’re always open to suggestions: email us at support@ellusandkrue.com

It’s likely you’ll see results from using our ELLUS & KRUE anti-ageing essential after two weeks of use. As with most skincare products, you’ll see the most significant improvement within four weeks of diligent use.

We are mindful not to offer medical advice and encourage you to speak with your healthcare provider before starting a new skincare regime, particularly one that includes Vitamin A (retinoids). You can find the complete ingredient profile for each of our anti-ageing essentials on our website, as well as on the back of the product packaging.

For those with dry and/or sensitive skin, mild flakiness is not uncommon when using our EPI-gN™ Serum for the first time. We encourage you to keep using the serum as the flaking is a positive sign that your skin’s natural exfoliating process is working to remove expired skin cells and boost cellular renewal.  

Yes and we’re glad you asked. Traditionally, toners have been formulated in a liquid texture that you wipe or splash over your skin after cleansing. With our pH Balance Gel Toner, we’ve created an innovative gel texture which comes from the generous amount of hydrating and calming Aloe Vera we use to soothe and balance the skin. We’ve never seen anything (else) quite like it and as such, it’s one of our ELLUS & KRUE signatures.

TIP: We also like to use pH Balance Gel Toner as an intensely hydrating mask for 10-15 minutes.

It’s unusual but it can happen. Firstly, ensure you’re using your ELLUS & KRUE anti-ageing essential as directed. Feel free to contact our Customer Support Team or live chat with us on our website. If you’re following our application directions and your skin is reacting then we would advise you to stop using the suspected product immediately and, if your skin condition persists, please consult a healthcare provider. NB: Our ingredient profiles are detailed on our website and on the back of our product packaging.
