Skincare for Mature Skin
Do you wish to reduce the first fine lines or even deeper wrinkles? Mature skin benefits greatly from rich anti-aging creams and firming active ingredients.
There is one thing all of our anti-wrinkle products have in common: They contain our unique Celumer Marine Extract. It offers a gentle combination of highly effective ingredients, which makes it easy to combine anti-aging benefits with a skincare routine tailored to your individual skin type.
Not all of us have one specific skin type that can easily fit into just one of these categories. That is why during the development of new DALTON products, we ensure that all of our products can be flexibly combined with each other to meet every skin’s individual needs.
