THE SENSORY
What it
feels like.
Before you open it, here is what to expect. no surprises.
Disappears the moment it touches skin.
Not a rich cream, not a heavy layer. It blends in within seconds and leaves nothing sitting on the surface.
Smooth, with a soft focus finish.
Skin looks evened out and quietly smoothed, without any shine or cast.
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
Ceramide Complex x5
The same complex used in Clean Slate. All five ceramide types, delivered together, sourced from Italy. Laminaria Digitata Extract alongside Ceramide 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 II. In a moisturiser, this is the layer that holds everything underneath it in place.
Ectoin
Originally studied in organisms that survive extreme dehydration and heat. In skincare, it helps skin hold onto moisture and recover from environmental stress, heat, pollution, screen exposure, more efficiently than a standard humectant on its own.
Hyaluronic Acid
Holds up to a thousand times its weight in water, the standard against which every other hydrating ingredient gets measured. It works alongside Ectoin to cover both immediate hydration and longer term resilience.
Niacinamide
The same active used across the rest of the system, continuing its barrier and tone work in this leave on layer. It's part of why this formula works at every step of the routine, not just one.
How it works.
In practice.
