Merz Aesthetics Brings Back Original NEOCUTIS Journée Formula
Key Takeaways
- Merz Aesthetics has reintroduced NEOCUTIS Journée Revitalizing Day Cream SPF 30 with its original formulation following provider and consumer demand after discontinuation of the Journée Firm line.
- The product combines broad-spectrum SPF 30, growth factor technology, antioxidants, and hydrating ingredients in a single daily moisturizer intended for routine skincare and post-procedure use.
- The relaunch reflects continued interest in multifunctional skincare products that consolidate photoprotection, hydration, and anti-aging ingredients into one regimen.
Merz Aesthetics has reintroduced NEOCUTIS Journée Revitalizing Day Cream SPF 30, bringing back the original formulation of the company's multifunctional daytime moisturizer after previously discontinuing the Journée Firm line.
According to the company, the product returns in response to feedback from both consumers and healthcare providers who requested the original formulation. The relaunch reflects broader interest in streamlined skincare regimens that combine multiple functions—including moisturization, photoprotection, and antioxidant support—into a single product.
Multifunctional Formulation Returns to the NEOCUTIS Portfolio
Journée Revitalizing Day Cream SPF 30 combines broad-spectrum ultraviolet protection with ingredients intended to support skin hydration and improve the appearance of photodamaged skin. The formulation includes octinoxate and micronized zinc oxide for UVA/UVB protection, sodium hyaluronate and glycerin for hydration, and antioxidant ingredients including green tea extract, vitamins C and E, and melanin.
The product also incorporates the company's proprietary growth factor technology, which Merz Aesthetics says is designed to support collagen and hyaluronic acid production. Growth factor-containing topical products have been incorporated into some physician-dispensed skincare regimens, particularly following aesthetic procedures, although clinical outcomes vary depending on formulation and study design.
The fragrance-free, non-comedogenic cream is dermatologist tested and intended for use across all skin types, according to the company. Merz Aesthetics also positions the product for use as part of post-procedure skincare, although the announcement did not reference new clinical trial data evaluating this indication.
“Journée has always represented the intersection of science and simplicity for NEOCUTIS®,” said Patrick Urban, President of Merz Aesthetics North America. “As we listened to our providers and consumers, it became clear there was a strong desire to bring back this multifunctional product designed to support skin through every stage. Its return reflects our commitment to deliver results-driven skincare that fits seamlessly into daily life.”
Journée Revitalizing Day Cream SPF 30 is available through authorized healthcare professionals and the NEOCUTIS online store.
