Pairs well with: Centella essences, hydrating toners, hyaluronic acid serums, niacinamide, panthenol, ceramides, and gentle peptide formulas. These enhance calming, brightening, and barrier-supporting effects.
Compatible with: All brightening and hydrating actives — vitamin C derivatives, tranexamic acid, azelaic acid, arbutin, retinoid routines, and exfoliating acids (when the barrier is comfortable).
Avoid using: No strict conflicts. Very sensitive skin may avoid combining with low-pH exfoliants or strong L-ascorbic acid in the same routine due to overlapping brightening actives.
Layering tip: Use after toner and before thicker serums or moisturisers. Works well under SPF in the morning due to its water-light, fast-absorbing texture.
Pro Tip: The encapsulated brightening complex melts into the skin on contact, offering an even, gentle glow ideal for sensitive or dull skin needing a low-irritation brightening step.
