A gift with understanding

The kind of present that feels like it was chosen just for her

Mature skin carries its own story, and winter tends to tell it louder. A little tightness after cleansing, a few dry patches that were not there in July, a barrier that needs more support to stay at ease.

This duo was inspired by exactly those moments. 2 complementary formulas, designed for advanced age softening, skin barrier support, comfort and natural resilience, in a ritual she will want to return to every day of the season.

Nestled inside the botanical pouch

2 Infinity formulas, made to work as one

QSolstice Mature Redefining Complex

30 ml . Full size . Valued at $135

The first touch. A lightweight complex rich in peptides, with sodium hyaluronate and oat kernel extract, formulated to hydrate skin and help protect it from environmental stress.

QEquinox Mature Redefining Cream

30 ml . Full size . Valued at $120

The finishing embrace. Peptides meet Canadian Willowherb, niacinamide, kokum butter and oat in a nourishing cream formulated to comfort skin and encourage barrier renewal.

The Botanical Pouch

Limited edition . Valued at $26

Hand drawn botanicals in ink blue on soft white. It wraps the gift today, and travels with her long after the holidays.
