The ritual it lives inside
Complete the ritual
Refine, defend, renew — tone through prevent into the nightly treat.
The Read
Defense, before damage.
What it is
An oil-free antioxidant gel.
Ginkgo, green tea, oak bark, and grape seed — four plant antioxidants in a weightless, oil-free gel for the home shelf.
Why it works
Neutralise what the day throws at skin.
UV and pollution generate free radicals that age skin; these polyphenols scavenge them at the surface, easing the oxidative load before it accumulates.
How to use
A thin layer, morning and night.
Under moisturiser and SPF. Antioxidants reduce oxidative damage but don't replace sunscreen — wear both.
The proof
The proof
Every claim pinned to its source.
