Why it works
Stress Less is a light, silky gel serum designed to soothe, hydrate and support skin that feels sensitive, stressed, tight or uncomfortable.
Soothing support
Madecassoside and beta-glucan help calm sensitive or irritated-feeling skin. This helps skin feel more comfortable and less reactive.
Barrier comfort support
Madecassoside, beta-glucan and saccharide isomerate support hydration and barrier comfort. This helps skin feel more resilient and less tight.
Long-lasting hydration
Saccharide isomerate, glycerin and methyl gluceth-20 help bind water in the skin. This supports a smoother, softer and more comfortable feel.
Key Ingredients
Madecassoside
A purified compound from Centella asiatica, present at 0.3%. It helps soothe the skin, supports barrier comfort and contributes antioxidant support for calmer-looking skin.
Beta-Glucan
A soothing and hydrating ingredient present at 0.2%. It helps support skin comfort, moisture and a smoother, calmer feel.
Saccharide Isomerate
A skin-identical carbohydrate molecule that helps bind water to the skin. It supports longer-lasting hydration and helps reduce the feeling of tightness.
Glycerin
A classic humectant that helps draw water into the skin’s surface layers. It supports hydration and helps skin feel softer and more comfortable.
How to use
Apply a few drops to the face after cleansing, morning and/or evening, before creams. Use when skin feels dehydrated, stressed, tight or uncomfortable, or when using stronger actives that may leave the skin feeling dry. In the morning, it can be layered with C-Glow (Vitamin C Serum) for added hydration and comfort.
FAQ
What does Stress Less do?
Stress Less is a soothing and hydrating serum for skin that feels sensitive, dehydrated, tight or uncomfortable. When the skin is stressed, it can feel more reactive, less balanced and more prone to dryness or visible redness. Stress Less combines madecassoside and beta-glucan to help calm the look and feel of the skin, while saccharide isomerate, glycerin and methyl gluceth-20 bind water to support longer-lasting hydration. The result is skin that feels smoother, calmer and more comfortable, especially when your routine includes stronger actives or your barrier feels compromised.
Who is Stress Less best for?
Stress Less is suitable for all skin types, especially sensitive, dehydrated, redness-prone or irritated-feeling skin. It is also useful if your skin feels dry or uncomfortable from strong active treatments.
How does Stress Less support stressed skin?
When skin feels stressed, the barrier may not hold onto moisture as well, which can make the skin feel tight, dry, reactive or uncomfortable. Stress Less supports the skin in two ways: calming support and hydration support. Madecassoside and beta-glucan help soothe the look and feel of stressed skin, while saccharide isomerate, glycerin and methyl gluceth-20 bind water to help reduce tightness and improve comfort. This combination helps the skin feel calmer, smoother and more resilient without adding exfoliating or strong active treatment steps.
Can I use Stress Less with retinol or benzoyl peroxide?
Yes. Stress Less can be used in routines with strong actives such as retinol or benzoyl peroxide when the skin feels dry or uncomfortable. Apply Stress Less after cleansing and before moisturiser to add hydration and soothing support. If using retinol, you can apply Stress Less before retinol for extra comfort, then finish with cream.
Can I use Stress Less every day?
Yes, Stress Less can be used morning and/or evening. Use it whenever your skin needs extra hydration, comfort or soothing support.
Is Stress Less suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. The formula is fragrance-free and essential oil-free, and it focuses on soothing and hydration rather than exfoliation or strong active treatment. It is not a medical treatment for eczema, rosacea, psoriasis or dermatitis.
Is Stress Less pregnancy-safe?
Yes, Stress Less is pregnancy-safe. If you are breastfeeding or unsure, check with your healthcare provider before use.
