Skinsense Ceramide24 Rich Repair Cream Review: The Fragrance-Free Moisturiser Your Autumn Skin Will Thank You For

SkinSense is back with something new. Having already reviewed their Ceramide24 range – a collection designed to deeply condition and strengthen the skin barrier. Now there’s an exciting new addition, the Ceramide24 Rich Repair Cream, launching on 29th September.

Any skincare enthusiast will know that ceramides are the building blocks of a healthy skin barrier, helping to lock in hydration, improve resilience, and keep irritation at bay. And with autumn and winter just around the corner, when dryness and sensitivity often flare up, the timing of this new launch couldn’t be more perfect.

This is also SkinSense’s first-ever fragrance-free moisturiser, developed specifically with dry, sensitive, and mature skin in mind. Promising to soften, hydrate, and restore balance with a blend of ceramides, pre- and postbiotics, and nourishing botanicals, it’s designed to be both pampering and practical for year-round use.

What’s in the Ceramide24 Rich Repair Cream?

The Ceramide24 Rich Repair Cream is the latest launch from SkinSense’s much-loved Ceramide24 line. While the range is designed primarily for maturing skin that’s losing volume and elasticity, this new cream takes things one step further by focusing on repairing and calming even the most sensitive or compromised skin barriers.

Formulated with:

• 0.3% Ceramide NP : replenishes essential lipids and strengthens the skin barrier.
• Sirtalice®: known for its anti-inflammatory and skin-firming benefits.
• 2% Leucidal (a lactobacillus ferment/postbiotic): helps balance the skin’s microbiome and provides long-lasting moisture.
• Biolin (Prebiotic): supports a healthy skin flora for added resilience.
• Shea butter oil, safflower oil & Vitamin F: deeply nourish, soothe, and soften.
• Lactic acid & Bisabolol: gently smooth skin texture and calm irritation.

This mix of actives works to soothe dry, irritated skin; improve firmness and elasticity, deliver lasting hydration without clogging pores and support the microbiome with a blend of pre- and postbiotics
What also sets it apart is that it’s fragrance-free; a first for the brand. Making it an excellent option for anyone with fragrance sensitivities.

Texture and Application Experience

On first impression, the Ceramide24 Rich Repair Cream looks and feels just like the rest of SkinSense’s Ceramide24 line – sleek packaging, white in colour, and beautifully creamy in texture.

Despite being marketed as “rich,” the cream manages to strike a balance. It is cool to the touch on application, giving an instant soothing effect. It is also silky and lightweight once absorbed, so it never feels heavy or greasy. And a little goes a long way, though if you’re heavy-handed you may need to work it in for a minute before it fully melts into the skin.

One of the standout features is how versatile it is. In the mornings, it layers effortlessly under SPF, primer, and makeup without pilling or clogging pores. In the evenings, it transforms into more of a pampering ritual. Its cocooning texture makes it feel like a self-care step at the end of a long day.

Even though it’s fragrance-free, I barely noticed the absence because the original Ceramide24 products were always subtly scented anyway. For anyone who avoids fragrance altogether, this is a welcome addition.

Results After 4 Weeks

After four weeks of consistent morning and evening use, the Ceramide24 Rich Repair Cream has proved itself to be more than just another moisturiser.

• Hydration and comfort: My skin felt consistently hydrated, soft, and supple throughout the day – no tightness, no dryness, and no mid-day flakiness, even during the cooler end-of-summer mornings.
  
• Barrier repair: With ceramides, prebiotics, and postbiotics, this cream clearly works to keep the skin barrier strong and balanced. My skin looked calm, nourished, and more resilient to environmental stressors.
  
• Plumpness and elasticity: The formula noticeably plumps the skin, leaving it bouncier and smoother to touch. Giving it an overall healthier and fresher appearance.
  
• For all skin types? While marketed towards mature skin, I’d argue it’s an excellent choice for anyone with dry, sensitive, or compromised skin, especially during the colder autumn/winter months when barrier issues are more common.
  

In short; it’s rich enough to repair, yet light enough to wear every day. A rare balance that makes it incredibly versatile.

Final Thoughts

The Skinsense Ceramide24 Rich Repair Cream is a beautifully formulated addition to the Ceramide24 range. While it’s been created with mature skin in mind, its fragrance-free formula, silky texture, and barrier-supporting actives make it a fantastic option for anyone struggling with dryness, sensitivity, or skin barrier damage; particularly as we move into the harsher autumn and winter months.

What I love most is its versatility. Light enough for daytime under SPF and makeup, yet rich and cocooning enough to feel like a nightly skin-pampering ritual. The inclusion of prebiotics, postbiotics, ceramides, and anti-inflammatory ingredients like Sirtalice really elevate this cream from a standard moisturiser to a barrier-repairing treatment.

If you’re looking for a seasonal skincare upgrade that will keep your skin soft, hydrated, and resilient against the elements, this is one to add to your autumn skincare lineup.
