Aesop Camellia Nut Facial Hydrating Cream 60 mL — Daily Moisturizer for Dry, Sensitive Skin with Matte Finish and Chamomile

Aesop Camellia Nut Facial Hydrating Cream is a rich, plant-forward daily moisturizer formulated to calm and replenish dry, sensitive skin with immediate, lasting hydration.

Designed for everyday use, this 60 mL cream combines camellia-derived oils and nut and plant extracts to soothe tightness, restore softness and leave a natural matte finish. Lightweight enough for daytime wear yet nourishing enough for evenings, it balances hydration without greasiness and features a floral, nutty, woody aroma. The formula highlights chamomile bud, sandalwood and rosemary leaf to support comfort and sensory appeal, while aligning with Aesop’s vegan and sustainability commitments.

How does this cream relieve dryness right away?

The formula delivers an emollient-rich layer that seals moisture into the skin surface, reducing tightness and visible flaking soon after application. Its blend of nut-derived oils and plant extracts helps restore suppleness, while a matte-touch finish prevents excess shine.

• Nourishing oils from camellia and nut extracts that condition and soften the skin.
• Chamomile bud to soothe reactive or sensitized areas.
• Light-absorbing components for a hydrated yet non-greasy appearance.

Will this suit sensitive or allergy-prone skin?

Formulated with calming botanicals, the cream is intended for normal, dry and sensitive skin types; however, individuals with known sensitivities should patch-test new products. Aesop prioritizes ingredients with established safety profiles and avoids parabens and animal-derived components.

• Gentle plant extracts like chamomile bud and rosemary leaf for reduced irritation risk.
• Paraben-free and vegan formulation to minimize common triggers.
• Recommended: perform a patch test before full-face use.

How and when should I incorporate it into my routine?

Use morning and evening after cleansing and toning; massage a small amount into skin until absorbed. It works well as the final hydrating step before sunscreen in the morning and under a richer night product if extra nourishment is needed.

• Apply to freshly cleansed, toned skin for best absorption.
• Morning use: follow with broad-spectrum SPF for daytime protection.
• Evening use: layer under serums or heavier oils when extra hydration is desired.

What sensory and ingredient highlights should I expect?

The cream offers a subtle floral-nutty-woody fragrance and a velvety texture that leaves skin feeling soft and matte. Key botanicals—sandalwood and rosemary leaf—add aromatic depth while providing supportive antioxidant and soothing properties.

• Fragrance profile: floral, nutty and woody for an elegant, understated scent.
• Skin feel: rich yet spreadable, absorbs to a comfortable matte finish.
• Sustainability: packaged in bottles made from a minimum of 97% recycled plastic.

Who is this for? Aesop Camellia Nut Facial Hydrating Cream is aimed at anyone with normal to dry, sensitive or reactive skin seeking a reliable daily moisturizer that delivers immediate comfort without heaviness. It’s a good fit for users who prefer plant-derived actives, care about ingredient transparency and sustainability, and want a subtle, refined scent. If you have very oily skin or are avoiding fragranced products entirely, consider sampling first to confirm compatibility.
