What it is

A calming, oil-balancing serum designed to ease visible redness and provide light hydration using tea tree leaf water, centella extract, and moisture-binding humectants.

Who it's for

  • Oily, combination, or acne-prone skin needing soothing hydration.
  • Sensitive-leaning skin seeking a lightweight, non-greasy serum.
  • Those layering actives who want a calming buffer step.

Key ingredients (INCI)

  • Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Water/Extract — cosmetic soothing and oil-balancing support.
  • Centella Asiatica Extract — calming botanical to reduce the look of redness.
  • Niacinamide — helps even tone and support barrier function.
  • Panthenol and Allantoin — soothe and replenish hydration.
  • Sodium Hyaluronate and humectants — water-binding hydration for a cushioned feel.

Free-from / texture

  • Light, watery gel texture; absorbs quickly with a non-sticky finish.
  • Oil-free; check full INCI for essential oils or fragrance sensitivities.
  • Layers well under sunscreen and makeup.

How to use & order

  • Apply after toner/essence on clean, slightly damp skin.
  • Use 1-2 pumps/droppers; spread evenly over face and neck.
  • AM: follow with moisturizer and sunscreen. PM: seal with a light cream.

Conflicts & layering tips

  • Generally compatible with most actives; apply after exfoliants/retinoids to soothe.
  • Patch test if sensitive to tea tree or botanicals; avoid combining with other strong essential oils in the same routine if easily irritated.
  • For very oily skin, use thinner layers to avoid excess dewiness.

Evidence & notes

  • Tea tree and centella are common cosmetic calmers; benefits are soothing and hydrating, not medicinal.
  • Niacinamide supports tone and barrier with consistent use; humectants work best on slightly damp skin.
  • Adjust frequency if any stinging or redness appears; patch test before full use.

Safety

  • For external use only; discontinue if irritation occurs.
  • Patch test if sensitive to essential oils, botanicals, or fragrance.
  • Avoid contact with eyes; rinse thoroughly if contact occurs.
  • Consult a professional before post-procedure use or if skin is compromised.
