What it is

How to use

• AM: Wet face, dispense a pea-sized amount, massage into a lather and rinse. Follow with your usual serum and moisturiser; apply sunscreen if you’ll be outdoors.
• PM: Use as the second step after an oil or balm cleanser if you wear heavy makeup. Massage to dissolve residues and rinse thoroughly.
• Tip: a little product goes a long way—start with a small amount and add if needed.

Why it works

• Prickly pear seed oil: lightweight emollient that helps skin feel hydrated after cleansing.
• Cactus extract: provides antioxidant support to help skin cope with environmental stressors.
• Hyaluronic acid: attracts and holds moisture at the skin surface to reduce post-wash tightness.
• Centella asiatica: traditionally used to soothe and comfort stressed or reactive skin.
• Citrus and Betula alba bud extracts: refresh and help calm the complexion without harsh exfoliation.

What to expect

• Immediate: skin should feel clean without a stripped or tight sensation.
• Within days of regular use: reduced post-wash dryness and a softer surface feel.
• With consistent use: improved ease of product layering (serums and moisturisers feel more comfortable).

Good to know

• For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes; rinse thoroughly if contact occurs.
• If you have a known sensitivity to any cactus, citrus or botanical extracts, do a patch test before regular use.
• Stop use and consult a healthcare professional if persistent irritation or an allergic reaction develops.
