The ingredients we use, and what each one does

Hyaluronic acid holds water in the upper layers. It is the plump you feel right after a facial. It only works if something seals it in afterwards — on its own, in dry air, it can pull water back out of the skin.

Niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3, calms redness, helps regulate oil and gradually evens tone. It is one of the few actives that suits nearly every skin type, including sensitive skin.

Vitamin C is an antioxidant that brightens and defends against daily pollution and light damage. We use it in the morning side of a routine, always with sunscreen over it.

Salicylic acid is oil-soluble, so it works inside the pore rather than only on the surface. It is our first choice for congestion, blackheads and breakout-prone areas.

Lactic and glycolic acids resurface at the top layer, softening texture and dullness. Strength and contact time are chosen for your skin on that day, not from a standard menu.

Ceramides, squalane and panthenol rebuild the barrier — the part of your skin that keeps water in and irritation out. Every treatment here ends with barrier support, whatever we did before it.

Broad-spectrum SPF is the last step of every facial and the only product that protects the result. Everything else is optional; this one is not.

If you have an allergy, a sensitivity or an ingredient you avoid, say so at booking. We will build the treatment around it rather than swapping products mid-facial.
