The All-In-One Lotion That Keeps Skin Smooth, Clear, and Quietly Confident

When your skin starts reacting to everything — dryness, redness, breakouts, or just age — it’s not being stubborn. It’s just unbalanced. This doctor-trusted formula helps reset that balance, giving your skin exactly what it needs to function and repair itself — without heavy layering, harsh actives, or guesswork:

  • Smooth Fine Lines: Hydrates deeply to restore elasticity and firmness, bringing back that natural bounce and soft, steady glow.
  • Even Tone + Calm Redness: Reduces blotchiness and irritation for a balanced complexion that looks healthy — not “worked on.”
  • Fade Dark Spots + Brighten Gently: Softens the visible signs of sun and time for smoother, more even-toned skin — no acids, no scrubs, no sting.

Because great skin isn’t about more steps. It’s about finally giving your skin what it actually needs.

"I have used this for over a year. Love the results. It has significantly faded the spots on my “experienced” skin…THANK YOU!" - Nan (Basic Maintenance Client)


Deep, Lasting Hydration:

Dry, tight skin doesn’t need more layers—it needs balance.

This formula hydrates where it matters most, restoring moisture deep below the surface so your skin stays soft, calm, and comfortable all day.

Never greasy. Never shiny. Just that steady, healthy glow that looks like you finally stopped fighting your skin.

Healthier Looking Skin:

Gently corrects the little things that make your skin look tired—dullness, uneven tone, lingering blemishes.

No acids, no tingling, no “adjustment period.” Just a clear, natural finish that gets a little better every week.

Complete Skin Strengthening:

Rebuilds your skin’s barrier so it can finally protect itself. Calms irritation, quiets redness, and supports collagen naturally—no fillers, no needles, no nonsense.

Because strong skin is beautiful skin—and it’s a lot simpler to get there than you’ve been told.

Key Ingredients

Click On Any Image For Ingredient Description!

Polyglutamic Acid

Polyglutamic Acid is a super hydrator, holding more water than hyaluronic acid to deeply moisturize your skin. It boosts your skin’s own moisture levels and works hand-in-hand with hyaluronic acid to keep skin hydrated and slow down aging signs like wrinkles. This ingredient leaves your skin looking fuller and smoother, making it feel soft and youthful.

SK INFLUX V MB®

SK Influx V MB intensively hydrates and restores the skin's natural barrier, reducing dryness and flakiness for a smoother complexion. Its lipid-rich formula helps minimize the appearance of wrinkles, enhancing skin firmness and elasticity. Ideal for sensitive and mature skin, it rejuvenates and imparts a youthful, radiant glow.

Phytosphingosine

Phytosphingosine is a natural fat in your skin that strengthens its protective layer, helping to keep moisture in and irritants out. It's a key ingredient for ceramides, which keep your skin smooth by filling in tiny cracks. Plus, it fights against skin problems like acne and eczema, making it great for keeping your skin clear and calm.

Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic Acid deeply hydrates your skin, holding over 1000 times its weight in water, giving you a plump, refreshed look. It boosts collagen production, vital for firm, healthy skin, and speeds up healing, making it great for recovering from skin damage. As a powerful anti-aging ingredient, it helps maintain skin hydration and elasticity, keeping your skin looking youthful and vibrant.

Squalane

Squalane (Olive derived) is a light oil that deeply moisturizes your skin and protects it from things like pollution, thanks to its antioxidant power. It calms redness and makes skin tone even, which is great for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Squalane also helps control your skin's oil levels, keeping it balanced and smooth without blocking your pores, for healthier-looking skin.

Ceramides

Ceramides are like the glue that holds your skin cells together, keeping your skin strong and smooth. They help lock in moisture and protect your skin from things like pollution and sun damage. Keeping your ceramide levels up is important for healthy, hydrated skin that looks young and feels soft. Replenishing ceramides can also help soothe and reduce skin issues like dryness, redness, and signs of aging, making them a key ingredient for maintaining your skin's overall health and appearance.

Allantoin

Allantoin, derived from the comfrey plant, is a gentle yet effective skin care ingredient that deeply hydrates and soothes. It acts as a natural emollient, preventing dryness and reducing irritation, making it ideal for sensitive skin. Its exfoliating properties help remove dead skin cells, improving skin texture and brightness. Additionally, allantoin supports collagen production, aiding in skin repair and rejuvenation for a healthier, more youthful appearance.

Glycerin

Glycerin is a natural moisturizer that draws water to your skin, keeping it hydrated and preventing dryness. It strengthens your skin's barrier, protecting against irritants and boosting skin's resilience, making it healthier and more robust. Additionally, glycerin aids in healing, has mild germ-fighting properties, and replenishes essential moisturizing factors, keeping your skin soft and supple as you age.

Urea

Urea, found naturally in your skin, helps keep it moist and soft by drawing in and holding onto water. It also gently removes dead skin, making your skin smoother and helping other skincare products work better. Plus, urea can help fight off mild fungus, keeping your skin free from flaking and rough patches.

Hydrolyzed Collagen

Hydrolyzed Collagen, with its small molecules, easily penetrates the skin, enhancing its ability to retain moisture for a smoother, more hydrated complexion. While applied topically, it provides a visible smoothing effect on fine lines and wrinkles, giving your skin a more youthful appearance. As a humectant, it locks in moisture, ensuring your skin stays hydrated and plump for longer periods.

Tocopherol (Vit E)

Vitamin E is your skin's shield against environmental damage, actively fighting signs of aging caused by UV rays and pollution. It promotes healing and relief from skin irritations like eczema, while effectively regulating oil balance for a clearer complexion. Essential for keeping skin hydrated and supple, Vitamin E strengthens your skin's natural barrier, preventing dryness for a smooth, youthful appearance.

How should I apply The Face Lotion for optimal results?

Achieving radiant, healthy skin with our Face Lotion is simple. Follow these steps for the best results:

Start with a Clean Canvas: Apply the lotion to damp skin right after cleansing. For pristine, ready-to-absorb skin, use our Face Wash beforehand.

A Little Goes a Long Way: Use less than a dime-sized amount. The concentrated formula ensures a small amount covers your face thoroughly.

Gentle Application: Massage the lotion gently into your skin until fully absorbed. It penetrates quickly, leaving no residue behind.

Layer If Needed: For extra dry skin, apply a second layer for added hydration. The lotion's quick-absorbing design allows for reapplication without overdoing it.

Use once or twice daily to enjoy all the restorative benefits, paving the way to visibly healthier, more vibrant skin.

How long will it take to see results while using The Face Lotion?

Here’s a glimpse into the transformative timeline you can expect with consistent use, morning and night:

Week 1: Discover a noticeable balance in oil production and a reduction in inflammation. Blemishes start to diminish as your skin becomes visibly healthier, clearer, more supple, and vibrant.

Week 2: Watch as blotching and dark spots begin to fade, unveiling an even and more radiant complexion.

Week 3: Feel the firmness and elasticity of your skin improve, along with a visible decrease in the appearance of existing wrinkles.

Week 4 and beyond: Experience a significant boost in collagen production, slowing down the formation of new wrinkles. Your skin reaches a new equilibrium, becoming a self-regulating ecosystem capable of maintaining its own health and vitality.

With our face lotion, results build progressively—each day brings you closer to achieving the flawless, enduring beauty you desire. Stick with it, and let your skin show you what it’s capable of!

Can The Face Lotion be used under makeup?

Absolutely! It’s been expertly formulated to provide a perfect base for makeup. Thanks to its rapid absorption and matte finish, it sinks deeply into your skin without leaving any residue. 

This means you can smoothly apply your makeup right after without worrying about product sliding, pilling or interfering in anyway. Enjoy an effortless makeup application every time you use our lotion as your base.

Is The Face Lotion an effective eye cream?

Absolutely. The skin around your eyes is delicate and requires gentle care, which is exactly what our lotion provides. Its formulation includes ingredients that naturally occur in your skin, ensuring it's gentle enough for the sensitive eye area while being effective.

This means you can simplify your skincare routine without compromising on care, giving your eye area the hydration and protection it needs to look bright and youthful.

How does The Face Lotion interact with oily or acne-prone skin?

This product is non-greasy and completely non-comedogenic. There's no amount of application that risks clogging pores, causing breakouts or intensifying acne. It’s perfect for all skin types providing peace of mind with every application.

How will The Face Lotion react with other steps in my skincare routine?

Our face lotion can be a balanced addition to any skincare regimen. Although it's designed to streamline your routine by replacing multiple products, we understand the desire to “try” it alongside popular products.

Rest assured, our lotion has been formulated to avoid interactions with other ingredients, including harsh retinols and acids. It’s fully compatible with the diverse world of skincare products.

Is The Face Lotion helpful for extremely dry skin?

Absolutely, it’s specially formulated for deep, multi-layer hydration, perfect for tackling severely dry skin. Its fast-absorbing nature allows you to layer an additional amount for extra moisture without worry. Just apply a second layer after the first has absorbed to customize hydration levels according to your skin’s needs, ensuring it stays supple and smooth.

What is the "tightening" I'll notice when first using The Face Lotion?

One of the initial sensations you might notice is a gentle "tightening" or "firming" of your skin. This feeling is a sign that the potent, skin-nourishing ingredients in our face lotion are beginning to work their magic. They're absorbing deeply, filling the spaces between skin cells, and beginning to revitalize and firm your skin from within.

This tightening is not just a sensation but a signal that your skin's renewal processes are kicking into gear, setting the stage for visible improvements.

How long does The Face Lotion last?

Shelf Life: 2 years prior to opening. But, to guarantee the freshest and most potent experience possible, we craft our products in exclusive micro-batches of just 250 units. This painstaking process ensures that no unit sits for more than 30 days before reaching you.

Period After Opening:
12 -18 months after opening.

Usage: When used twice daily, a single 80mL bottle of our face lotion is designed to last approximately 4 months, making it a lasting addition to your skincare routine.

Will the brightening agents in The Face Lotion affect the color of my eyebrows or hairline?

Nope! The brightening agents in The Face Lotion won't change the color of your eyebrows or hairline. We've avoided using ingredients like vitamin C and certain acids that can lighten hair.

Our formula works with your skin’s natural processes to boost radiance and even out your complexion without affecting your hair color. Enjoy a brighter, more balanced complexion without any unwanted side effects.

"I have a huge amount of products from different brands that I've used to combat the signs of aging facial skin. Nothing worked as well as this the Face Lotion I now use. Instead of applying multiple products to my face each morning and night after cleansing I now only need one. My skin is softer, fine wrinkles are less noticeable and I was just complimented on my beautiful skin this week. I am 72 years old but my skin doesn't look it."
