Mountain Day Cream

Above 2,000 ft, your skin suffers more water loss and can’t hold on to hydration for long. It gets worse as elevation goes up. That’s because of the low air pressure, which spreads the water molecules in the air. It’s commonly known as “thin air,” creating the most difficult climatic conditions for your skin to stay youthful and healthy. Traditional moisturizers are not specifically formulated to perform in this environment, but Climate-Smart® Mountain Day Cream is.

THE SOLUTION
Pour Moi’s Climate-Smart® shield technology in Mountain Day Cream is customized to counteract extrinsic skin aging in the mountains and high deserts. It solves the problem of weathered, dry skin in high altitudes with an anti-aging lightweight shield that forms just below the skin’s surface with no build-up. It effectively keeps the thin air from depleting moisture, while Swiss and Japanese anti-oxidants, studied in the mountains for real results, can clear out free radicals to reverse and prevent signs of aging.

To ensure all-day hydration, Mountain Day Cream delivers French marine- and melon-water actives into the skin, building a water reservoir within the skin layers protected by the Climate-Smart® shield.

Winner of TIME 2020 Best Invention of the Year in skincare, Pour Moi abandoned the traditional approach of the same moisturizer every day in all locations. Instead, it provides a range of different Climate-Smart® Day Creams, scientifically designed to work in specific weather conditions and in synergy together, to maximize anti-aging and skin hydration results. For a youthful, flawless complexion, dress your skin daily like you dress yourself, depending on your local weather.

It gives you the confidence always to use the right Climate-Smart® Day Cream in your location.

An independent, third-party study conducted in high-altitude locations in Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona, reported that all participants (30) found that their skin hydration, smoothness, and overall youthful appearance were 100% improved!

ABOUT UV LIGHT AT HIGH ALTITUDE
Because SPF ingredients' efficacy expires after 90 minutes, Pour Moi keeps SPF out of its high-performing Climate-Smart® Day Creams. We highly recommend SPF as its own sun protection step to apply and re-apply when skin is exposed directly to sunlight.

UV light is stronger at higher altitudes. Its intensity goes up about 20% for every 1,000 ft in elevation, exposing your skin to more photoaging and damage. While the Mountain Day Cream is SPF-free, our innovative moisturizer is rich in bio-active ingredients that are studied specifically in the alpine climate to fight photoaging and damage caused by UV light.

The First Skincare Engineered for Your Weather

Pour Moi’s patented Climate-Smart® geo-moisturization system is based on the science of how skin changes with temperature, humidity, and environmental stressors.

Instead of using the same moisturizer year-round, our rotating Day Creams are engineered for specific climates—delivering real-time balance, barrier support, and anti-aging results rooted in global dermatological and pharmaceutical climate research and patented innovation.

And with our AI CreamFinder™, you never have to guess which cream to use—the system provides real-time environmental guidance simply by scanning the QR code on your cap.
