Whether you have dry, sensitive skin or simply want a dewy, luminous glow, this innovative emulsion bridges the gap between high-potency treatments and everyday comfort.

Key Benefits

• 24-Hour Hydration: Clinically proven to keep skin hydrated and comfortable for an entire day after one application.
• Ultra-Lightweight Format: Delivers the intensive moisture of a rich cream in a thin, micro-fluidized emulsion.
• Rapid Barrier Repair: Works immediately to strengthen the skin's natural moisture barrier and prevent water loss.
• Reduces Look of Redness: Specifically targets and calms visible signs of irritation-induced redness.
• Translucent Radiance: Promotes a "glossy," luminous finish for healthy-looking, dewy skin.
• 62% Moisture Boost: When used after the Saccharomyces Ferment 30% Milky Toner, it significantly increases hydration levels.

• Oil-Water Balance: Optimizes skin health by providing a perfect blend of water-loving and oil-loving ingredients.
• Non-Greasy Finish: Leaves the skin feeling supple and bare, rather than heavy or sticky.

Key Ingredients and The Science Behind Them

• Rice Lipids: A comprehensive lipid extract derived from whole rice. These lipids mimic the skin’s natural oils, creating a protective shield that effectively traps moisture inside and defends against environmental dryness.
• 2% Ectoin: A high-performance amino acid derivative known as an "extremolyte." It helps the skin stay calm and hydrated under stress, smoothing out textural irregularities and reducing the look of redness.
• Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF): A specialized blend of electrolytes and amino acids that support the skin’s natural hydration architecture, ensuring long-term resilience.
• Jojoba Oil: A plant-based oil that closely resembles human sebum. It provides deep nourishment and emolliency without clogging pores, resulting in softer, more flexible skin.

FAQ

Q: Why does the product feel more "runny" in some bottles?
A: Because of the natural variations in the raw rice lipids, the viscosity may differ slightly between batches. This is normal and falls within our strict quality checks; the product will deliver the same clinical results regardless of thickness.

Q: Can I use this with Niacinamide?
A: Yes! This microemulsion is highly compatible and can be layered over our Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% serum to help lock in the benefits and support the skin barrier.

Q: Does this replace my regular moisturizer?
A: For most skin types, yes. However, if your skin is extremely dry, you can layer this under a thicker cream like Natural Moisturizing Factors + PhytoCeramides for an extra boost.

Q: How does this help with redness?
A: The combination of 2% Ectoin and barrier-repairing rice lipids helps calm the skin's inflammatory response to dryness, visibly reducing irritation-induced redness.

Q: Will it clog my pores?
A: No. Despite containing Jojoba Oil and lipids, the micro-fluidized texture is designed to be non-comedogenic and breathable.

Q: Is it okay to use every day?
A: Absolutely. It is designed for twice-daily use to maintain consistent 24-hour hydration and barrier strength.
