Tested for you: „Moss Elixir Face Cream“ from Bionera

The moss cream from Bionera must be something special. 100,000 satisfied customers are claimed (by the company, which has only existed since 2022!). FAZnet has tested it and found it to be recommendable. And even the reputable Handelsblatt devoted an article to the moss cream. All this made me quite curious. I then ordered the product from the manufacturer’s website. It’s currently available at a reduced price of 69.90 euros instead of 89.90 euros. The delivery was not long in coming and I was able to start my test.

MossElixir in a green jar

The cream comes in a green glass jar that has a high-quality appearance and is pleasant to the touch. It is color-coordinated with the ingredient. The entire skincare line is based on a moss extract, the trademarked MossElixir. What exactly is behind it, however, is not disclosed, although the Bionera website states: “Our trademarked Moss Elixir has already won numerous awards.” Phytol (physcomitrella patens moss culture extract) is on the list of ingredients alongside a number of other ingredients such as avocado oil, aloe vera extract and shea butter.

Moss is one of the oldest and most resilient plants in the world. It has existed for over 470 million years. It is remarkable that scientific assessments have only recently been carried out. A study by the Max Planck Institute in Leipzig has shown that moss extract can strengthen the skin’s barrier function. This protects it from external influences such as UV rays and pollutants, while at the same time promoting its regeneration. It can store moisture better, cell regeneration is promoted and the skin cells become more robust against everyday stress factors.

Mosses in the scientific field

These are precisely the abilities that have allowed mosses to survive even under extreme conditions by constantly renewing their cells. In 2021, the journal Experimental Dermatology published a study that also confirmed that moss extracts have anti-inflammatory properties, which benefits the skin for conditions such as acne or eczema, redness and swelling. Due to its versatile effect, moss is indeed a promising ingredient that can also effectively counteract signs of ageing. This can contribute to a smoother appearance and improved skin texture.

Consumers are full of praise for Bionera’s face cream. You can read the comments on their Website. Lisa N. says: “I’ve tried a lot, but no cream can keep up with this one. I saw a clear result after just a few days. My skin looks much fresher and the wrinkles have diminished. Even my husband has noticed. I am very satisfied and will definitely buy the cream again very effective.”

Sarah with 4 “h” also writes: “I very rarely have a product that I use for longer. I change from time to time or keep buying new creams from different brands. But when a friend gave me the moss cream for my birthday two months ago, I knew immediately that it was the cream I would always stick with. It feels so good on the skin and my little wrinkles have really diminished.”

My experience

Well, I also tried the produt. I applied it morning and evening for six weeks, including to my neck and décolleté, under my eyes and above my upper lip, where the fine lines are (I don’t smoke!). I didn’t use any other additional product. Wrong! Outdoors, I applied UV protection on top because the moss cream has no light filter. Perhaps the manufacturer should reconsider this!

When applied to the skin, the cream feels good. It is quickly absorbed and leaves a pleasant feeling. The skin is well moisturized throughout the day. However, I cannot confirm that wrinkles and fine lines have diminished. Bionera also meets all the criteria for high-quality natural cosmetics and is free from silicones and parabens. If this is still not enough effect for the price, you can send the cream back. Bionera offers its customers a 60-day money-back guarantee.
