Just in time for the temperatures to heat up, QMS debuts a new, refreshing gel cream that is superhydrating without leaving your skin feeling slimy or suffocated. The QMS Epigen Pollution Defense Day & Night Gel Cream (£110) contains aloe leaf juice, shea butter, glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, and an ingredient called thermus thermophillus ferment. What sounds like the name of an ancient Greek city is actually the fermented version of a bacteria (thermus thermophillus) that's found deep in the ocean. In skin care — and specifically, this gel cream — it helps protect the skin from external free radical damage, leaving it firmer, suppler, and more resilient.
