THE SENSORY
What it
feels like.
Before you open it, here is what to expect. no surprises.
Almost like water. It's gone before you notice it.
No greasy residue, no heaviness, no slip left behind. It dries down in seconds, like water does.
Even, calm, and quietly bright.
No shine, no cakey buildup underneath makeup or sunscreen. Just more even, settled skin.
Barely anything. That's on purpose.
0.01% fragrance is included only to mask an unpleasant raw material note, not to add scent. You're not meant to notice it.
In use.
The Formula
Niacinamide
Works on two levels in this serum. Supports the skin barrier and regulates melanin transfer to skin cells. Because this is a leave on layer rather than a rinse off step, it stays active on skin through the day, addressing uneven tone and pigmentation at the source.
Zinc PCA
The same mechanism used in Clean Slate, now working through the day instead of for the thirty seconds of a wash. Zinc PCA regulates sebum at the follicle, keeping oil in check without the dryness that comes from simply absorbing it off the surface.
Squalane
Squalane mimics the lipid skin already produces, so it absorbs immediately instead of sitting on top. It is one of the few oils that hydrates without ever feeling heavy or clogging pores, which is why it works even on oily skin.
Allantoin
Allantoin calms skin that is reactive or irritated, supporting the barrier while it settles. It is a quiet ingredient that does not do anything dramatic, it simply reduces the chances of the serum causing discomfort on skin that is already under stress.
Hylasome EG10
A crosslinked form of hyaluronic acid, built to sit on skin longer than standard hyaluronic acid and release moisture gradually through the day instead of evaporating within a few hours.
How it works.
In practice.
Start with clean skin
Clean Slate first, patted until just damp. Serum absorbs better into slightly damp skin.
The Daily AM, two to three drops

Follow with Deep Roots, then Second Skin SPF 50. The serum's actives sit under everything else.
Every ingredient.
