Every Complete Elixir formula is built to work on sensitive skin too. Active where it needs to be, and below the threshold that provokes a reaction.
Every Complete Elixir formula is built to work on sensitive skin too. Active where it needs to be, and below the threshold that provokes a reaction.
How that is done
Every skin has a tolerance threshold, and skin that has been irritated repeatedly has a lower one. A single high concentration active crosses it, which is why the most aggressive formulas are so often unusable on the skin that needs them most. We deliver the same function through several actives at low concentration instead, and carry the irritation prone ones inside a lamellar structure so they reach the skin without announcing themselves.
What is left out
Fragrance free as standard, with essential oil free versions of the cleanser and treatment oil for anyone who cannot tolerate even a natural scent. The formulas lead with barrier lipids, centella, panthenol, beta glucan and layered humectants, and they leave out the ingredients that most often turn a good product into a bad afternoon.
After a treatment
This is also the collection to look at after a peel, a laser, ultrasound or microneedling. It is what we reach for in our own treatment rooms, for the same reason.
