Featured Ingredients:
Panthenol (a vitamin B5 derivative) - improves hydration, reduces itching and inflammation of the skin and accelerates healing of epidermal wounds. It is absorbed deeply into the skin, and adds essential moisture. Also useful for those with acne because of its absorption properties that can counteract bacteria, and its anti-inflammatory properties.
Niacinamide (vitamin B3) - lightens dark spots by suppressing melanin from reaching the surface of the skin and protects the skin from further UV damage. Banishes redness with it's photoprotective, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and skin soothing abilities. It is anti-aging and helps skin retain valuable moisture. Effective for acne control also, as it reduces oil production and sebum that clogs pores. Cleaner pores also means smaller pores.
CoQ10 - is a strong antioxidant and helps to neutralize the harmful free radicals that can cause premature aging. Also an anti-inflammatory and used to calm irritation and redness. It's a sun damage protectant and corrector, lightening and brightening agent, and an anti-aging superstar. Unlike many other anti-aging actives with molecular weights too large to be absorbed deeply by skin, CoEnzyme Q10 is a relatively small molecule and therefore can really get into the skin and work it's magic.
MSM - rebuilds and maintains the skin from the inside out. MSM promotes healthy collagen production, which firms and maintains a youthful appearance, but is also helpful for acne prone skin. Increased collagen in the skin helps repair acne-damaged skin tissue that could result in facial scarring. A powerful anti-inflammatory, it helps reduce redness, puffiness, even discoloration and swelling due to inflammation. Lastly, it can have a dramatic, positive effect on the smoothness of the skin.
Aloe and Cucumber - help sooth, and keep irritation at a minimum. Aloe also contributes to advanced collagen production and skin repair.
Smooth a few drops onto face and neck area before moisturizing (or use alone). For optimal results, use AM and PM. For daytime, follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen rated SPF 30 or greater.

United StatesIt has an ingredient that has an unpleasant smell. However, it does not linger. Otherwise, I think it is a good product for those that can get past the scent.
Note: We do not add perfume to our products, which is a typical practice in skin care to hide the natural scents of the ingredients. Since most plants and flowers do have some type of scent, our natural-based products can reflect that. In almost all cases, any ingredient scents will dissipate after a few minutes.
I was pleasantly surprised, this did indeed reduce the redness in my skin, and calmed sensitivity. My skin is sensitive to certain products, the sun, you name it. In my morning routine I apply first, before my other serum and then cream. It has made a big difference in redness and irritation, and even flushing I think. For me I always felt my skin flushed more when it was already irritated, so if that can be controlled, I think it helps control flushing as well.
