How the formula works together
Two groups of ingredients are doing the work here. Humectants — Butylene Glycol and Caprylyl Glycol — draw water into the surface. Allantoin 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
Labelled for all skin type.
Worth checking before you buy: contains essential oils.
How to use it
- In the morning: Gently massage wet face with cleanser and wash off with lukewarm water.
