More Featured Ingredients

Bakuchiol

Plant-based retinol alternative

Smooth • Firm • Renew

Bakuchiol is an extract from the babchi plant that mimics the collagen-stimulating and skin-smoothing benefits of retinol without the associated irritation.

Evening Primrose Oil

Soothes dryness and balances skin

Nourish • Calm • Balance

Evening primrose oil is a lightweight botanical oil high in linoleic acid that helps repair a compromised skin barrier and calm signs of irritation.

Black Currant Extract

Rich antioxidant protection

Protect • Nourish • Defend

Black currant extract is a berry derivative packed with vitamin C and fatty acids that nourishes the skin and neutralizes damaging free radicals.

Borage Seed Oil

Restores the skin's moisture barrier

Nourish • Replenish • Calm

Borage seed oil is a rich plant oil with exceptionally high levels of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) that deeply soothes dryness and reinforces the lipid barrier.

Vitamin B12

Calms inflammation and supports skin renewal

Soothe • Renew • Nourish

Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient that accelerates cell reproduction, calms inflammatory skin conditions, and helps revive a dull, tired complexion.

Mushroom Extract

Soothes, hydrates, and supports skin resilience

Soothe • Hydrate • Defend

Mushroom extract is a potent adaptogen, often derived from species like Tremella, Reishi, or Chaga. It acts as a powerful humectant to draw moisture deep into the skin, while its rich antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties help calm redness and defend the skin's barrier against environmental stressors.

I want to make it clear I love love LOVE this serum, it stings a little when initially applied but I always wake up with my redness and texture noticeably reduced. THAT SAID this is 4 instead of 5 stars because both times now it has been delivered with the cap so tightly fused to the pump that both shatter on attempt to separate them, leaving me with no option but to put the bottle in a sealed bag and extract the serum with a qtip (annoying) or my finger (degrades the product). Can something be done about this?

Three months in and my forehead lines are visibly softer. No purging, no flaking, no adjustment period. It's earned a permanent spot in my routine.

I do like this product and I would buy it again. After slightly over 60 days of use with the HA serum and the tranquility cream, my skin feels fresh and it feels soft and smooth. These products are definitely ok to use if you have rosacea. I was in the middle of an outbreak and these products worked well in alleviating inflammation in conjunction with what my dermatologist was recommending for treatment.

My skin looks firmer and the redness actually decreased. It's subtle at first; the payoff comes months in. Would still recommend with that caveat.

Finally, wrinkle care my reactive skin doesn't reject. My only regret is not buying it sooner.

great

Anti-aging results without the retinol irritation my skin can't handle. Take my money, DERMAdoctor.

It smoothed my texture while keeping my sensitive skin calm. I use it nightly and it plays well with everything else. Already ordered a backup.

Not compatible with putting makeup on after using this product. It’s sticky but a decent product

Great for sensitive skin
It does what it says without irritation, good alternative to retinol. I will buy it again!
