Stress Less 30ml

Stress Less is designed to improve sensitive, damaged, irritated and dehydrated skin types with the combination of Beta-Glucan Madecassoside - these two molecules have fantastic skin soothing, repairing and hydrating abilities.

Suitable for all skin types - Stress Less is great if your skin is prone to dehydration, sensitivity, redness and irritation, or if you are using strong actives (e.g. anti-acne such as benzoyl peroxide or anti-aging such as retinol treatments) known to dry the skin or compromise the skin barrier.

Within this formula Geek & Gorgeous uses 0.2% Beta-Glucan and 0.3% Madecassoside. These percentages may not sound large, however when it comes to these two actives, they are. Studies use Madecassoside from as low as 0.05% (shown to inhibit UV induced melanin production) or at 0.1% combined with 5% Vitamin C for anti-aging benefits.

0.2% of Madecassoside has barrier-supporting, skin moisturising, as well as redness itching reducing properties in atopic or psoriasis-prone skin. In-vivo studies (tested on consumers), by the manufacturer of Beta-Glucan shows that the molecule improves skin barrier recovery used at 0.05%, while its moisturising ability is as good as that of hyaluronic acid. Used at 0.1%, Beta-Glucan makes the skin firmer, smoother and more elastic.

Apply a few drops to the face after cleansing, before using creams. Can be used either in the AM and/or PM.

Geek and Know to Glow tip: use Stress Less with C-Glow in the morning for added smart-aging benefits.

Madecassoside: one of the main biologically active components of the famous medicinal plant Centella Asiatica, also known as Gotu Kola or Cica. It has well-established wound healing, skin soothing and antioxidant activities.

Beta-Glucan: a super-molecule coming from Oat that has intensive skin-repairing and wound healing properties, while being a great skin soother and moisturizer, even showing some anti-aging benefits. It is a large polysaccharide (sugar) molecule, somewhat similar in structure to Hyaluronic Acid hence showing similar (or some claim even greater) skin hydrating properties. While the larger beta-glucan fractions stay on the top of the skin to hydrate & smooth it, the smaller fractions penetrate deeply (even into the dermis, the middle layer of the skin) showing promising anti-aging benefits.

Saccharide Isomerate: a skin-idententical carbohydrate molecule that binds to the skin like magnet and keeps the skin hydrated longer than most other humectants.
