PRODUCT DETAILS

Hello, hydration in two parts. Matcha Cica Layer Serum pairs a cream layer with a soothing serum layer that come together before application. The mixed formula delivers deep hydration with a fresh, lightweight finish, giving your skin moisture without a sticky or greasy feel.

Matcha, cica and madecassoside bring the calming side of the story. Their combination gently cares for skin affected by external stressors and helps reduce the appearance of redness and dullness. Cica also helps calm sensitive skin. The serum is suitable for all skin types, with a particularly thoughtful fit for dehydrated, oily, combination and sensitive skin.

Five named ceramides give the formula its barrier-support focus. They help support a stronger, more resilient moisture barrier, while the serum moisturizes and helps maintain oil-moisture balance. Its hydration is buildable when your skin wants a little more.

Once mixed, expect a milky texture that absorbs quickly without a sticky or greasy feel. The serum fits into both morning and evening routines, making its two-layer approach an easy daily ritual.
