Description
This is a recovery serum. It is what you use when the barrier is damaged, whether from over-exfoliating, a strong retinol routine, a reaction to a new product, or too much sun.
It combines panthenol, vitamin B5, with madecassoside from centella asiatica and hyaluronic acid. That trio is well established for calming inflammation and speeding up repair, and the effect on tight, stinging, reactive skin is usually noticeable within a few days.
The signs you need it are specific: your skin stings when you apply things that never used to sting, it looks red or blotchy, it feels tight no matter how much moisturiser you use, and it has become reactive to products it previously tolerated. That is a damaged barrier, and the answer is to stop the actives and repair rather than to add more.
Use it morning and evening on clean skin under your moisturiser. While repairing, pause retinol and acids entirely for two weeks, keep the routine to cleanser, this, moisturiser and sunscreen, and reintroduce actives slowly afterwards.
It is also useful as a permanent part of a routine for sensitive skin, and it layers well with everything.
