Dr. Perry's SoftThyme®

Most women don’t need a moisturizer. You’ve never heard a skin care company say that before, because it doesn’t exactly help sales. But it’s true. And while I truly believe that your skin does a good job at moisturizing itself, even my wife won’t give up her moisturizer. Understanding this, I set out to create the best moisturizer possible. My goal was to simulate the normal skin oil, called “sebum”.

I created SoftThyme^® to help the normal oils in your skin restore the water content of dry, rough and flaky skin, without feeling greasy. It contains all the major components of the best moisturizers, including emollients, humectants, occlusives, ceramides and phytosphingosine (try saying that one!). It simulates the natural oils of the skin, and adds a few extra benefits. I included a variety of wonderful natural oils such as safflower, olive, and jojoba oils in the cream. And I added those all important components of skin oil because hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and phytosphingosine provide great moisturizing benefits. Vitamins B5 and D and glycerin make SoftThyme a truly unique moisturizer that your skin will love. And any moisturizer should contain vitamin E because some scientists believe that if you use moisturizer, you will block delivery of your own vitamin E into the skin. And what I left out is just as important as what I put in. You will notice that SoftThyme does not have petrolatum, parabens, phthalates, dyes, fragrances, or known toxins.

SoftThyme revitalizes dry, cracked skin and strengthens the skin’s protective moisture barrier. Moisturizers of this quality are usually much more expensive than SoftThyme, but we wanted everyone to be able to afford this incredible new product.

Many people ask me if SoftThyme can be used on the body as well as the face. In short, the answer is yes. The truth is that people are more willing to spend more money on an incredible quality facial moisturizer such as SoftThyme, and less likely to spend more on a body moisturizer. But it certainly works on all of your skin. So you may liberally apply SoftThyme to your hands and your legs, as often as you want.
