Tips to get the most out of it

• Especially useful when skin feels overworked or reactive

• Pairs beautifully with calming serums and hydrating toners

• Can help support comfort during retinal or exfoliating routines

• Works well as a simple “barrier reset” moisturiser

• Consistency is usually more important than constantly switching products

-
A note on barrier care

Skin that feels irritated or reactive often responds better to simple supportive routines than aggressively treating multiple concerns at once.

Healthy-looking skin usually starts with a comfortable, supported barrier.

Patch test first. Skin is individual, especially when introducing new skincare products.
