Description
A light daily moisturiser for healthy, toned skin, Quince Day Cream refreshes and protects balanced to slightly dry skin while supporting moisture content.
Formulation: Quince wax forms a light, breathable protective layer to maintain moisture balance. Quince seed extract with jojoba, apricot and avocado oils firms the skin.
Skin condition: For normal to dry skin
Usage
Each morning after cleansing and toning, apply a small amount evenly to the face, neck and décolleté with your fingers. Quince Day Cream is perfect as a primer before applying make up. In the evening, we recommend using Night Serum or Renewing Night Conditioner as a non-oily night time skin care product.
All our moisturisers are concentrated and are formulated to be applied as follows:
-
warm around a large pea size between the palms of your hands to melt the waxes.
-
apply to your face, that's still moist from Toner, with both palms, gently pressing into your skin. Toner aids absorption of your moisturiser, and ensures an even and economical application.
Tips
During transition phases and in winter, when the skin needs additional moisture, Revitalising Day Lotion can be applied under Quince Day Cream.

Dr Hauschka Quince Day Cream, your questions answered
Q1. What is quince and what does it bring to skincare?
Quince is a fruit rich in pectin, vitamins, and antioxidants. In Dr Hauschka formulations it is used to brighten and even the complexion and support the skin's natural radiance.
For skin that looks dull or uneven, quince-based formulas are a traditional Dr Hauschka recommendation.
Q2. Who is this day cream suited for?
Normal to combination skin seeking a brightening, balancing moisturiser. Also suits those wanting to address mild uneven tone or a dull complexion.
Q3. Is it safe near the eye area?
Apply to the face and orbital bone. Use your dedicated eye cream for the eyelid and immediate under-eye area.
Q4. Is it NATRUE certified?
Yes. Biodynamic plant ingredients, no synthetic fragrance or parabens.
Q5. When in my routine does it go?
After cleansing, toning, and any serum. Use morning and evening as your main moisturising step.
Q6. How does quince day cream compare to the apricot day cream at Dr Hauschka?
Both suit normal to combination skin, but they have different primary actions. Apricot focuses on nourishment and softness, making it better for drier normal skin. Quince focuses on brightening and evenness, making it better for normal skin with tone concerns or dullness. If your main concern is hydration, apricot. If your main concern is radiance, quince.
Q7. How long does it take for a quince brightening cream to show results?
Skin tone improvement from a cream takes at least four weeks of consistent use because it is linked to the skin's natural cell renewal cycle. You may notice a brighter surface appearance sooner, but deeper tone evening takes longer.
