Glycophil Intensive Moisturiser
Glycophil Intensive Moisturiser
Long-term skin health relies on two biological processes. Hydration during the day. Recovery during the night. Most moisturisers support one. This formulation is engineered for both.
Your skin operates in two distinct phases. During the day, it is exposed to continuous stress. Sun, air conditioning, pollution, and humidity shifts all steadily deplete hydration and strain the barrier. At night, the balance shifts. Barrier lipid synthesis increases. Cellular turnover accelerates. The skin moves into a repair cycle, restoring what the day has disrupted. Long-term skin health depends on how well both phases are supported.
D-Panthenol, a mineral trio — Zinc, Copper, and Magnesium, 5 humectants — Sodium Hyaluronate, Butylene Glycol, Propanediol, Glycerin, and Betaine. Engineered to support hydration through the day and recovery through the night.

On most mornings, the Daily Moisturiser (Rs. 299) goes here. Switch to the Intensive when your skin is under pressure — dry spells, heavy AC, travel, post-retinol recovery.
Every night. Apply after cleansing as the final step. If you use a treatment (retinol, Depigmentation Cream, or any active), apply it first — the Intensive goes on last and seals everything in.
Skin Essentials is the baseline range — the products every skin needs regardless of context. Not targeted treatments. Not skin-type prescriptions. The foundation that keeps the barrier functional so everything else works better.
The Cleanser clears without stripping. The Daily Moisturiser maintains what the Cleanser preserves. The Intensive Moisturiser supplies what the overnight repair cycle runs on, and steps in when your context demands more. The Depigmentation Cream targets pigmentation driven by sun, inflammation, and post-acne response. One complete system.
Learn more about Skin Essentials →You are not oily skin or dry skin. You are skin that had a bad night's sleep, spent the day in air conditioning, or just stepped in from a humid afternoon outside. Your environment, your stress, your routine — all of it shapes what your skin needs right now. That is not a skin type. That is a skin context.
Glycophil is built around skin contexts. Your skin is dynamic and ever-changing, not limited to a box or a label.

Two biological processes. One formulation built around both.
Most moisturisers are built for one job. The Intensive Moisturiser is formulated around the two processes that together determine long-term skin health — active hydration and the overnight recovery cycle that rebuilds what the day depletes.
The Hydration System
The Intensive Moisturiser hydrates at three levels simultaneously. Five humectants — Sodium Hyaluronate, Butylene Glycol, Propanediol, Glycerin, and Betaine — draw water into the skin at different molecular depths. Dimethicone forms an occlusive layer on the surface, sealing moisture in and reducing transepidermal water loss. Aquaxyl supports the skin's own aquaporin channels, the biological pathways through which water moves within skin tissue.
The Recovery System
At night, your skin runs its own repair cycle, rebuilding barrier lipids and restoring structural integrity. The Intensive Moisturiser supplies what this process runs on. D-Panthenol at 10% converts to Pantothenic acid within the skin, directly feeding barrier lipid synthesis. Zinc, Copper, and Magnesium Gluconate act as cofactors for the repair enzymes your skin produces naturally. Allantoin supports cellular turnover, accelerating the clearance of damaged cells.
