Key Ingredients
Prebiotics & Postbiotics

Help to maintain a balanced skin microbiome by supporting the production of beneficial bacteria in the skin. In doing so, they support a healthy and balanced complexion.

Niacinamide

Also known as vitamin B3, it boasts anti-inflammatory properties to visibly calm blemish-induced irritation while helping to regulate oil production.

Beta-glucan

A natural extract derived from oats which helps to soothe and comfort the skin.

Cinnamon Extract

With natural antibacterial properties, it helps to limit blemish-causing bacteria while also working to balance oil production.

Glycolic Acid

With the smallest particle size of all the AHAs, glycolic acid is the most powerful. It works to break down the bonds between dead skin cells, so they can be easily exfoliated away to reveal fresher, newer skin cells beneath. The result is visibly brighter, smoother and decongested skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I layer Balance Moisturiser with sunscreen?
After cleansing and toning in the morning, apply Balance Moisturiser to the face, neck and décolletage. Follow with sunscreen. We recommend Advanced Day Ultimate Protect.
Can I use Glycolic Acid Activator in the morning?
We do not advise using Glycolic Acid Activator during the day, as glycolic acid can make skin more sensitive to sun damage. Instead, use 2-3 times a week after cleansing in the evening.

Yes. You can use Glycolic Acid Activator alongside Crystal Retinal in the evening. After cleansing and toning, apply Glycolic Acid Activator before Crystal Retinal. Follow with Balance moisturiser.
