What it is

A comfort-focused barrier cream that pairs soothing botanicals with ceramides and humectants to relieve visible irritation and replenish moisture without heaviness.

Who it's for

  • Sensitive, redness-prone skin needing a gentle daily cream.
  • Normal to combination skin wanting hydration without a greasy finish.
  • Anyone layering actives who needs a soothing buffer step.

Key ingredients (INCI)

  • Centella Asiatica Extract + Houttuynia/tea tree complexes — to calm the look of redness and discomfort.
  • Panthenol and Allantoin — soothe and replenish hydration.
  • Ceramide NP — helps reinforce the skin barrier and reduce moisture loss.
  • Hyaluronate and humectants — water-binding hydration with a cushioned feel.
  • Lightweight emollients — spread easily without a greasy residue.

Free-from / texture

  • Soft cream texture; non-greasy finish.
  • Fragrance status per official INCI; verify if scent-sensitive.
  • Layers well under sunscreen and makeup.

How to use & order

  • Apply after serums on clean, slightly damp skin.
  • Use a pea to nickel-sized amount; spread gently over face and neck.
  • Morning: follow with sunscreen. Night: use as the final moisturizer step.

Conflicts & layering tips

  • Compatible with most actives; apply after retinoids/acids to buffer dryness.
  • If oily, start with a thinner layer to avoid excess dewiness.
  • Patch test if sensitive to botanical extracts, essential oils, or fragrance (if present).

Evidence & notes

  • Centella complexes, panthenol, and ceramides are well-documented moisturizers/soothers; benefits are cosmetic and build with consistent use.
  • Humectants reduce tightness when sealed with emollients; apply to slightly damp skin for best results.
  • Allow layers to set to reduce pilling, especially under sunscreen or makeup.

Safety

  • For external use; discontinue if irritation occurs.
  • Patch test if sensitive to botanical extracts, oils, or fragrance (if present).
  • Consult a professional for persistent irritation or post-procedure use.
