Rich creams and balms wrap the skin in lipids and comfort. They replenish what dry, depleted skin is missing and form a soft protective layer against cold, wind and dry indoor air.
Who they're for
Dry and very dry skin, mature or depleted skin, skin that feels rough, flaky or uncomfortable, and anyone getting through a Canadian winter.
Key ingredients to look for
Shea butter, squalane, ceramides, plant oils rich in essential fatty acids, beeswax or plant waxes, and soothing botanicals.
How to use
Apply as the last step of your routine, morning or evening. Balms can be warmed between the fingertips and pressed onto the skin, or used as an overnight comfort mask.
Expert insight from Loshen & Crem
Dry skin and dehydrated skin need different things. Dry skin lacks oil and needs lipids; dehydrated skin lacks water and needs hydration. Rich creams and balms are for the first. If your skin is both, pair one with a hydrating serum underneath.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a cream and a balm? A cream blends water and oils; a balm contains little or no water, so it's richer and more protective.
Will a rich cream clog my pores? On dry skin, rarely. If your skin is oily or breakout-prone, look at our hydrating or clarifying moisturizers instead.

great cleanser. use it with VIP cream and others.
gentle and does the job!
i keep switching between all these BR creams because they all work great and my skin gets to try something diff every few months
the best!
super gentle
It’s my second jar, lasted me almost a year. Perfect for colder seasons, calms skin right away, locks in other creams. I use it overnight or if especially dry and irritated can do during the day or locally or irritated or dry areas.
I received a sample of this product, so I can't comment on its effectiveness as collagen, but it tastes good and was easy to drink. Since I only got one sachet, I can't speak to its long-term results.
Received this product as a free sample from L&C - thank you so much! Really enjoyed this product - could physically 'feel' it working its magic. Skin felt and looked amazing the next morning. Will look into buying full-sized product for sure.
Really beautiful product and a little goes a long way! Skin feels fantastic the next morning.
I purchased this specifically to use following a laser treatment and have been so impressed with it. The texture is smooth and silky and glides over the skin beautifully without feeling heavy. I have sensitive, acne-prone skin and have been very happy with how comfortable it feels. This has quickly become one of my favourite sunscreens.
great
