A light gel-cream with a very short ingredient list — fourteen items, no fragrance, no oils beyond squalane. Glycerin and squalane do the moisture work; allantoin, arginine and three botanicals (mint leaf, green tea leaf and thyme leaf) make up the calming side. It has a slippery, almost weightless finish and sits flat under makeup. Medipair make it as part of their Plasma line for skin that is easily upset.

We recommend it for sensitive and blemish-prone skin that finds most moisturizers too rich. Apply to clean face and neck morning and night, after your serum or booster, and press it in rather than rubbing. It is light enough that oily skin can use it alone, and dry skin will usually want something heavier over the top at night.
