Calming Serum

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 reduces skin sensitivity and redness and calms 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. 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 several 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 many of us at one time or another. I wanted to create a calming face 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 skin calming serum have been proven to bring down any inflammation so skin feels calm and comfortable!” - Shelley Martin, Co-Founder of SKINICIAN
