Metamorphosis | Beyond | Rejuvenating Night Cream | 50ml

Menopause decreases the abundance of ceramides in the stratum corneum, ceramides are lipids (fats) that are found naturally in high concentrations in the uppermost layers of skin. As hormone levels plummet, your skin can become dry, slack, and thin. Skin needs more moisture with a heavier cream. Skin cell renewal declines during this time with a lower level of sebum so skin can become dull and lack vitality if not properly looked after.

It is vital to use a night cream that is packed with natural ceramides, phytoestrogens, hyaluronic acid, amino acids, peptides and natural retinols, to help pump moisture to your dermal layers while you sleep.

Phytoestrogens are naturally occurring plant compounds that may function similarly to the estrogen the human body produces. Something that is lacking during menopause. Ceramides help hold skin together by forming a protective layer that limits moisture loss and protects against visible damage from environmental stressors. In addition, ceramides—even more than retinol and niacinamide—are one of the anti-ageing “powerhouses” responsible for supporting skin's dynamic nature. Along with bakuchiol, rambutan is said to be one of the very best retinol substitutes, delivering age-defying benefits. Both bakuchiol and rambutan stimulate collagen production and cell turnover, helping to minimise the appearance of fine lines and hyperpigmentation while promoting a more youthful appearance. Bakuchiol has been clinically demonstrated to reduce hyperpigmentation and wrinkles as efficiently as retinol, with better skin tolerance.

BENEFITS

Reduction of fine lines and deep wrinkles: This is achieved by increasing collagen synthesis, improving skin elasticity, and supporting faster cell turnover.

Protective moisture‑retaining barrier: This is achieved by replenishing skin‑identical lipids that reduce transepidermal water loss and strengthen the stratum corneum.

Stimulates collagen production: This is achieved by activating fibroblasts and supporting the skin’s natural repair and renewal pathways.

Helps increase skin thickness: This is achieved by improving dermal density and reinforcing the extracellular matrix, which naturally declines during menopause.

Ceramide‑rich deep dermal rejuvenation: This is achieved by restoring depleted ceramide levels that are essential for skin integrity, hydration, and resilience.

KEY INGREDIENTS

Ceramides (plant‑derived or skin‑identical)

Primary benefits

• Restore barrier function
• Reduce moisture loss
• Improve skin firmness and smoothness

Why it matters: Ceramide levels drop significantly during menopause, leading to dryness, thinning, and increased sensitivity. Replenishing ceramides helps “seal” the skin, improving hydration retention and protecting against environmental stress.

Phytoestrogens (plant‑based estrogen mimetics)

Primary benefits

• Support collagen production
• Improve elasticity and thickness
• Reduce dryness and slackness

Why it matters: Declining oestrogen is a key driver of menopausal skin ageing. Phytoestrogens can bind to oestrogen receptors in the skin, helping to partially compensate for hormonal loss and support structural proteins.

Hyaluronic Acid

Primary benefits

• Deep hydration
• Plumps fine lines
• Improves skin smoothness

Why it matters: Hyaluronic acid holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water. As natural levels decrease with age, topical replenishment helps restore volume and hydration, reducing the appearance of fine lines.

Amino Acids

Primary benefits

• Support skin repair
• Strengthen the moisture barrier
• Improve skin resilience

Why it matters: Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins such as collagen, elastin, and keratin. They also form part of the skin’s natural moisturising factor, essential for maintaining softness and flexibility.

Peptides

Primary benefits

• Stimulate collagen synthesis
• Improve firmness
• Reduce wrinkle depth

Why it matters: Peptides act as signalling molecules, encouraging the skin to produce more collagen and elastin. This helps counteract menopausal thinning and loss of firmness.

Bakuchiol

Primary benefits

• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
• Improves pigmentation
• Accelerate cell turnover
• Smooth skin texture
• Improve tone and clarity

Why it matters: Bakuchiol delivers retinol‑like benefits without irritation. It has been clinically shown to reduce wrinkles and hyperpigmentation with better tolerance, making it ideal for hormonally sensitive skin.

Rambutan Extract

Primary benefits

• Stimulates collagen
• Improves elasticity
• Supports cell renewal

Why it matters: Rambutan has retinol‑like activity and works synergistically with bakuchiol to promote collagen production and improve skin texture without compromising barrier health.
