Circadia Glyco-Guard
Circadia Glyco-Guard is a smooth daily cream rich in antioxidants. It is designed to help defend the skin against glycation, a process in which sugars bind to the skin's supporting proteins and contribute to visible signs of time.
A blend of peptides, plant extracts and protective oils helps shield the skin from daily oxidative stress and supports the look of firmer, more resilient skin.
It is used morning and evening, after serum.
Why we love it
Firmness is something you preserve day after day, not something you fix overnight. Glyco-Guard fits that thinking: a comfortable cream that adds antioxidant protection to every morning and evening. Paired with Counter A.G.E. and daily sunscreen, it makes a complete, steady approach.
Benefits
- Helps defend the skin against glycation
