Defends Against 5 Signs of Skin Sensitivity:

Dryness. Irritation. Roughness. Tightness. A weakened skin barrier.

Why It Works — Key Ingredients:

Bakuchiol 0.5% (Plant-Derived Retinol Alternative): A plant-derived retinol alternative at 0.5% that hydrates to renew, smooth, and soften skin — improving the appearance of post-acne marks, pores, and uneven skin tone for a more visibly even, glowing complexion after 12 weeks without the irritation of traditional retinol.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): A skin-essential vitamin that visibly improves skin texture and tone, minimises the appearance of pores, and supports the skin's moisture barrier — contributing to the formula's post-acne mark reducing and complexion-restoring benefits.

Zinc Gluconate: A skin-balancing active that helps absorb excess surface oil in acne-prone skin, contributing to the formula's pore-clearing and complexion-improving benefits for clearer, more balanced skin.

Panthenol (Provitamin B5): A hydrating and skin-conditioning active that moisturises and soothes sensitive skin, supporting the skin's moisture barrier and leaving skin feeling soft and comfortable after every application.

Prebiotics (Lysolecithin): A prebiotic active that helps strengthen the skin barrier, supporting the skin's natural microbiome and resilience for healthier-looking, more balanced sensitive and acne-prone skin.
