- Niacinamide-free, PHA-containing formula that gently hydrates and soothes with cica and polyglutamic acid
- Works as a light milky toner that layers well under moisturizer and SPF without feeling greasy
- Often cited as helpful for repairing the skin barrier and calming irritation when used properly
Cons
- Contains a PHA (gluconolactone) which can cause irritation or breakouts, especially when combined with tretinoin or other actives
- Can create a thin film that leads to product pilling and may interfere with makeup or sunscreen application if not fully absorbed
- Reported to sting or burn on compromised/damaged skin or during retinoid purging, causing redness or flare-ups in some users
