Key ingredients
| Ingredient | What it is, and what it is used for |
|---|---|
| Sodium Hyaluronate | Sodium salt of hyaluronic acid. A material skin already contains, so it reads as its own; used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Glycolic Acid | Alpha hydroxy acid of lowest molecular weight. Listed as pH adjuster. |
| Salicylic Acid | Beta hydroxy acid, oil-soluble. Listed as denaturant, keratolytic, fragrance, hair-conditioning agent. |
| Centella Asiatica Extract | Extract of Centella asiatica, whole plant. Used to calm irritation; used to slow oxidation, in the formula and on skin; used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Houttuynia Cordata Extract | Extract of Houttuynia cordata (heartleaf). Listed as skin-conditioning agent (miscellaneous). |
| Propanediol | Plant-derived diol. Dissolves the rest so the formula stays one liquid; used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Butylene Glycol | Diol. Used to pull in water and hold it; dissolves the rest so the formula stays one liquid. |
| Betaine | Amino acid derivative from sugar beet. Used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Glycerin | Polyol. A material skin already contains, so it reads as its own; used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Dioscorea Japonica Root Extract | Extract of Dioscorea japonica root (Japanese yam). Listed as skin-conditioning agent (miscellaneous). |
| Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract | Extract of Scutellaria baicalensis root. Listed as skin-conditioning agent (humectant). |

How the formula works together
Two groups of ingredients are doing the work here. Humectants — Sodium Hyaluronate, Propanediol and Butylene Glycol among others — draw water into the surface. Centella Asiatica Extract works on the look of redness.
Humectants and calming ingredients cover each other. Skin that has lost water looks redder and more textured than it is, so putting water back is half of how a formula settles the look of a difficult day.
Who it is for
Worth checking before you buy: contains essential oils.
How to use it
- Apply to a cotton pad after cleansing.
- Gently sweep across the face, avoiding the eye area.
- Use once daily.
- Adjust frequency based on skin sensitivity.
