What it is

How to use

• AM: After cleansing and any water-based serums, apply 2–3 drops to damp skin and pat gently. Follow with a moisturiser and a broad-spectrum SPF for daytime protection.
• PM: After cleansing and serums, apply 2–3 drops and massage into face and neck. Seal with your night cream if needed.
• Start with a small amount to find your preferred layering routine; can be used alone or under makeup.

Why it works

• Prickly pear seed oil: a lightweight plant oil rich in lipids that helps retain moisture and leaves skin feeling supple.
• Tocopherol (Vitamin E): an antioxidant that supports the skin’s surface against everyday environmental factors.
• Yerba mate leaf extract: provides antioxidant support and contributes to a fresher-looking complexion.
• Lecithin: an emollient that helps improve the texture and spreadability of the formula for better absorption.

What to expect

• Immediate: a quenched, smoother feel and a subtle luminous finish after one application.
• With regular use: skin may appear more comfortable and plumper as surface dehydration is addressed; allow a few weeks to notice changes in texture.

Good to know

• Patch test before first use, especially if you have known sensitivities to fragranced products or botanical extracts.
• If irritation or persistent redness occurs, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
• If pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your healthcare provider before adding new actives to your routine.
