Calming Serum 50ml

This targeted anti-redness serum is formulated with an extract of walnut and a special botanical calming complex to repair and protect the skin barrier. An ideal serum for sensitive skin, it works to reduce skin sensitivity and redness and calm irritated skin, particularly if you have allergies or sunburn. 

It features a special walnut extract, rich in antioxidants to shield skin against sunlight and pollution. While a special Soothing Phytocomplex restricts the blood vessels, which together with a Botanical Calming Complex, works to reduce swelling and discomfort. It can be used to treat a number of issues such as skin irritation caused by waxing, menopausal hot flashes, sunburn, an allergic reaction – and even inflamed breakouts. 

“Irritated skin comes in many forms and can affect a lot of us at one time or another. I wanted to create a serum that does it all – from tackling redness caused by allergies and general stress, to soothing more serious skin conditions such as rosacea and eczema. The hardworking complexes in this anti-redness serum have been proven to bring down any inflammation so skin feels calm and comfortable!” - Shelley Martin, Co-Founder SKINICIAN

What does a calming serum do? 
Calming serum is used after cleansing and toning and is formulated to reduce skin sensitivity and redness and calm irritated skin, particularly if you have allergies, sunburn or a skin condition such as rosacea. Our Calming Serum will also promote your skins' own ability to protect sensitive cell membranes against future environmental damage.  

Do you apply serum over or under moisturiser? 
We advise that the most active product be applied to the skin first. In this case you would apply Advanced Calming Serum first and then apply your chosen SINICIAN moisturiser. Find out more about the correct order to apply the products in your skincare routine on our AM/PM Skincare Routine Guide. 

Is the Advanced Calming Serum good for sunburn? 
Advanced Calming serum can be applied to help treat inflammation caused by sun exposure however you should expect to feel some discomfort. This would be true of any product applied after sunburn. If your skin is badly burnt we would suggest seeking medical guidance.

After cleansing and toning, apply a pea size amount to the face and neck area, avoiding contact with the eyes. This serum can be used twice daily if required.
