This serum leans on niacinamide, vitamin B12, and centella asiatica-derived compounds like asiaticoside and madecassic acid to calm irritation and support a compromised skin barrier. Bisabolol and a mix of skin-identical lipids round out the barrier-repair side of the formula. It's aimed at sensitive or reactive skin that needs calming before it can tolerate more active ingredients.
