Technology and key actives

2% Salicylic Acid (BHA)

Salicylic acid is a liposoluble beta-hydroxy acid known for its ability to penetrate into the pore and dissolve excess sebum and accumulated dead cells. At a 2% concentration, it provides gentle yet effective exfoliation, especially suitable for oily skin and acne-prone skin.

• Deeply exfoliates pores, helping keep them clean.
• Reduces bumps, blackheads, and visible impurities.
• Helps regulate sebum production and improve the appearance of shine.
• Refines skin texture and helps unify its surface.

It originally comes from the bark of the white willow (Salix alba) and is one of the reference actives in dermatology for treating acne.

3% Niacinamide (vitamin B3)

Niacinamide is a multi-action active that works comprehensively on skin tone, sensitivity, and overall balance. Its excellent tolerability makes it an ideal option even for sensitive or reactive skin.

• Helps reduce dark spots and tone irregularities.
• Calms redness and irritation, improving skin comfort.
• Regulates excess oil and improves the appearance of pores.
• Strengthens the skin’s natural barrier, increasing hydration and elasticity.
• Provides antioxidant protection against premature aging.

In addition, it stimulates the synthesis of ceramides, essential lipids that reinforce the skin barrier and help promote stronger, healthier-looking skin.

SyriCalm™ (extract of Poria cocos and Phragmites karka)

SyriCalm™ is a naturally derived active that combines the fungus Poria cocos and the aquatic reeds Phragmites karka. It has been developed to help the skin defend itself more effectively against external aggressions such as UV radiation, pollution, shaving, hair removal, or intensive daily hygiene.

• Reduce inflammation and redness in reactive or sensitized skin.
• Provides a deep and long-lasting soothing action.
• Strengthens the barrier function, helping skin look less reactive.
• Helps restore comfort when skin is altered or imbalanced.

In traditional Asian medicine, Poria cocos has been used for centuries for its calming and rebalancing properties, to the point of being known as one of the most versatile plants in its pharmacopeia.

Horse Chestnut Extract

Rich in saponins (aescin) and flavonoids, horse chestnut extract is appreciated for its action on microcirculation and its decongesting effect.

• Helps reduce redness associated with cutaneous inflammation.
• Contributes to reducing congestion and improving the look of the skin.
• Protects capillaries and strengthens superficial microcirculation.

Witch Hazel Extract

Witch hazel is a classic in the care of combination and oily skin due to its astringent, balancing and soothing action, respectful even for sensitive skin.

• Refines the appearance of pores and improves the overall texture of the face.
• Helps control excess sebum and unwanted shine.
• Calms redness and irritation, providing a sensation of calmer skin.
• Helps keep skin clean, fresh and balanced.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an essential antioxidant that acts as a shield against environmental damage and daily oxidative stress.

• Neutralizes the free radicals responsible for premature aging.
• Strengthens the skin barrier and helps maintain hydration.
• Soothes irritation and helps reduce redness.
• Supports the prevention of dark spots and enhances the action of other antioxidants.

It occurs naturally in the skin’s sebum and acts as one of the first antioxidant defense lines on the skin’s surface.

Texture and sensory experience

Its texture is a fluid, light lotion with quick absorption and a comfortable finish. It contains no alcohol, so it respects the integrity of the skin barrier and avoids the sensation of tightness. The skin feels refreshed, balanced and ready to enhance the effectiveness of the serum and subsequent treatment cream.

How to use

Apply in the morning and/or evening to clean skin, before the usual serum or treatment.

• Dispense a small amount onto your hands or a cotton pad.
• Gently spread over the face, neck and décolleté, avoiding the immediate area around the eyes.
