The full detail

Your skin used to spring back. Lately it takes its time.

This is a green gel-cream built on a plant that survives drought, for the point where skin starts to slacken rather than dry out. One 65g jar. The only single product we sell.

What it does for you

Myrothamnus flabellifolia — the resurrection plant. It grows on the rock faces of southern Africa, dries to a husk, and greens again when the rain comes. In skincare it is used for holding water in the skin and for the look of firmness. It is the first ingredient named on the box.
Sturgeon caviar extract. The second active, and the reason this sits in the firming aisle rather than the hydrating one.
A gel, not a balm. Oil-in-water, so it sinks in and sits under makeup without leaving a film.
A pea covers your whole face. At that rate 65g lasts, which is most of why this jar costs what it does and no more.
One jar, one price. Nothing else to buy alongside it.

How to use it

After your serum, morning and night. Warm a pea between your fingers, then press it in rather than rubbing.

It goes further than it looks. Start with less than you think.

Is this the one for you

Yes, if your skin has started to slacken and you want one good cream rather than a whole routine.

No, if your concern is dark marks or redness. The Milk set is built for tightness and tone, the Centella set for skin that flushes. Both do a job this cream does not.

Ingredients

Key ingredients named by the manufacturer: Myrothamnus flabellifolia leaf and stem extract, and sturgeon caviar extract.

Made by Shantou Sanxing Cosmetics Co., Ltd in Shantou, Guangdong, under cosmetics production licence Yue Zhuang 20161279, to standard QB/T1857 for an oil-in-water emulsion.

Before you start

Contains sturgeon caviar extract, which is animal-derived. This is not the one for you if you avoid animal ingredients.

Patch test anything new. A little on your inner arm, then give it 24 hours. Stop using it if your skin reacts.

If you have a known allergy, check it against the full ingredient list printed on your packaging before first use. Ask us at info@zeva.co.za and we will send you what we hold ahead of your order.

Care

For external use only. Keep out of reach of children. If it gets into your eyes, rinse with clean water. Stop using it if it causes discomfort. Store somewhere cool and dry, out of direct sunlight.
