How does this help redness?

The 7X ceramide complex and soothing ingredients work to calm irritation and support the skin barrier, helping reduce redness over time with consistent use.

Can I use this with the drying lotion?

Yes — apply the serum first, avoiding areas where you plan to use the Drying Lotion, or apply serum on those spots afterwards to provide nourishing support.

Do I need a cream on top?

Yes — using both the serum and a moisturizer or cream together helps the active ingredients absorb better and improves overall results.

Barrier maintenance prevents future flare-ups.

Do Instead

Use daily as a preventive layer, especially with acne actives.
