HANNON Skin Care for mature skin focuses on hydration, moisture and improving the skin’s elasticity and plumpness with the following product: Intense Hydrating Moisturiser  – this intense moisturiser with Moist 24 continuously releases moisture molecules to nourish the skin throughout the day and keep it nourished and radiant.
