Ingredients & What They Do

Vitamin B12
The star ingredient responsible for the serum's distinctive pink hue. Vitamin B12 supports the skin barrier by actively reducing dryness and visible redness. It works from the first application to calm irritated skin and restore a more comfortable and even complexion.

Centella Asiatica Phytotechnologies
Advanced plant-derived actives from Centella Asiatica, one of the most studied soothing botanicals in skincare. These phytotechnologies protect skin against external stressors including pollution and environmental aggressors that trigger redness and barrier damage.

Gallic Acid Derivatives
Soothe skin discomfort and target redness associated with external stressors by reducing trans-epidermal water loss — the escape of moisture through a compromised skin barrier. By sealing in moisture they support faster barrier recovery and lasting skin comfort.
