Overview

As skin matures, it can lose more than firmness. Declining elasticity, depleted barrier lipids and persistent dryness can leave skin looking crepey, rough and less resilient.

Kiriwai takes a dual approach to mature skin — targeting visible signs of ageing while replenishing the lipids essential to a healthy skin barrier.

An elastin-inspired peptide and DPHP work together to target visible loss of firmness and elasticity, helping smooth the appearance of fine lines.

Our Biomimetic Barrier Complex combines three essential ceramides, phytosphingosine, phytosterols and fatty acids to replenish barrier lipids and reduce moisture loss.

Our Adaptive Hydration Complex, with ectoin and water-binding humectants, delivers up to 72 hours of hydration, while a substantial blend of shea, cupuaçu, squalane and botanical oils restores softness and suppleness.

The richness of a restorative night crème, with a refined finish for daily wear.

Intensive restorative care, without the heavy after-feel.

Firmer-looking skin. Improved elasticity.

An advanced peptide and DPHP system targets the appearance of lost firmness and elasticity, helping skin look more lifted, supple and resilient.

Smooths fine lines and crepey texture

Targeted firming actives and multi-level hydration help soften the appearance of fine lines, roughness and crepey texture for a smoother, fuller-looking complexion.

Replenishes barrier lipids. 

A multi-lipid system of three ceramides, phytosterols and complementary barrier lipids helps replenish the skin's protective barrier and reduce moisture loss.

Hydrates for up to 72 hours. 

Our Adaptive Hydration Complex combines ectoin, natural moisturising factors and water-binding humectants to support sustained hydration for up to 72 hours.

Intensive nourishment. Without the heaviness.

A rich concentration of botanical butters, oils and squalane helps restore softness and suppleness to dry, lipid-depleted skin, without an excessively greasy finish.

Best for dry, mature and lipid-depleted skin, particularly when experiencing:

  • Visible loss of firmness, elasticity and bounce
  • Fine lines, crepey texture and uneven skin surface
  • Persistent dryness and declining barrier function
  • Age-related and hormonal skin changes, including perimenopause and menopause
  • Increased nourishment needs in cold, dry climates

Especially suited to skin from the mid-40s onwards, although skin condition matters more than age.

Use as an intensive night crème, or morning and evening for mature, dry skin needing additional lipid support.

For skin that prefers a lighter texture, explore Tīeki Biomimetic Restore Crème.

STEP 03 — SUPPORT

After cleansing and applying your chosen serum, massage a small amount over the face, neck and décolletage.

Use nightly as your final moisturising step, or morning and evening when skin needs additional nourishment.

For an intensive evening treatment, pair with Mārū PM Concentrate. During the day, finish with broad-spectrum SPF.

POWERFUL ALONE. DESIGNED TO WORK TOGETHER.

The breakdown

Targeting firmness, elasticity and visible lines.

Combining 2% Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12 Complex with 0.5% Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline (DPHP), this dual-action system works through complementary elastin- and collagen-focused pathways.

Designed to target declining firmness and elasticity, it helps visibly soften fine lines, improve the look of crepey texture and restore a smoother, more supple appearance.

Targets: Firmness · Elasticity · Fine lines

Biomimetic Barrier Complex


Replenishing what changing skin loses.

More than a conventional ceramide moisturiser, Kiriwai takes a multi-component approach to barrier restoration.

Three essential ceramides (NP, AP and EOP) work alongside phytosphingosine, phytosterols, palmitic acid and hydrogenated lecithin to replenish the skin's protective lipid structure.

Sodium PCA provides complementary natural moisturising-factor support, helping skin retain water while the lipid system reduces moisture loss.

Together, they help restore softness, comfort and resilience to dry, lipid-depleted skin.

Targets: Barrier replenishment · Moisture retention · Skin resilience



72-hour hydration. Intensive nourishment.

Our Adaptive Hydration Complex combines ectoin, saccharide isomerate, panthenol and water-binding humectants to provide sustained hydration for up to 72 hours.

A rich blend of shea and cupuaçu butters, squalane and botanical oils delivers the substantial lipid nourishment mature skin needs, helping restore a smooth, cushioned and supple feel.

All the richness of an intensive treatment, with a refined, non-greasy finish.

Targets: Lasting hydration · Plumping · Deep nourishment
