Dealing with "angry" skin that stings or stays red after a day outdoors? This essence acts as a liquid recovery treatment. It’s significantly more potent than a standard toner, focusing specifically on extinguishing inflammation and repairing the skin's biological shield.

• Target: Chronic redness, heat-induced sensitivity, and post-breakout inflammation.
• Texture: Lightweight, fast-absorbing liquid that feels instantly refreshing.
• Core Actives: 85% Centella Asiatica Extract + 2% Spirulina Platensis Extract.

1. Cleanser: Use a non-stripping cleanser (e.g., Anua Heartleaf Foam).
2. [THIS PRODUCT]: Pat 2–3 drops onto damp skin.
3. Moisturiser: Apply a light cream to lock in the soothing actives.

Note: If your skin is currently "flaring up," skip all active acids and use only this essence + a basic moisturiser for 48 hours.

Minimalist (3–4 steps): 1) Cleanser → 2) Skin Relief Essence → 3) Sunscreen SPF 30+.

Optional: If you use a Vitamin C serum, apply the Skin Relief Essence after the Vitamin C to help buffer potential acidity and soothe the skin.

Minimalist (3 steps): 1) Double Cleanser → 2) Skin Relief Essence → 3) Barrier Cream (e.g., Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream).

Texture rule: Apply after watery toners but before any oils or heavy creams.

• Amount: 2–3 drops (one full dropper-load for face and neck).
• Method: Smooth → light pat. Do not rub aggressively, as friction can worsen redness.
• Frequency: Safe for daily AM and PM use.
• If-This / Then-That: Sunburned? Store in the fridge for 10 minutes before applying for an "ice-compress" effect.

Watchouts: Pilling is rare with this formula; if it occurs, ensure you aren't using too much product—2 drops is usually plenty.

• Immediate: Instant cooling sensation and reduction in "skin tightness."
• 2–7 Days: Surface redness begins to subside; skin feels less reactive to touch.
• 4 Weeks: Improved barrier strength; skin doesn't flush as easily in heat or wind.

• Why Centella, not Ice Cubes? Applying ice directly to skin can cause "ice burn" and further damage capillaries. High-purity Centella soothes the skin at a cellular level without the shock of extreme cold.
• Why this, not neat Essential Oils? Essential oils (like Tea Tree) can be sensitizing. This essence uses refined extracts that provide the benefits of plants without the irritation of volatile oils.

• Halal Status: Halal-Friendly* (no ethanol/denat; no haram animal derivatives detected).
• Vegan Status: Vegan-Friendly* (no animal-derived ingredients identified).
• Animal Testing: Brand-stated Cruelty-Free*.

• Centella Asiatica Extract (85%): The "tiger grass" known for wound healing and calming inflammation.
• Spirulina Platensis Extract: An antioxidant-rich algae that helps reduce skin stress and provides a natural nutrient boost.
• Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract: Deeply soothing for sensitive or allergic-prone skin.
• Hyaluronic Acid: Ensures the soothing step is also a hydrating one.
• Full INCI: Centella Asiatica Extract, Water, Glycerin, 1,2-Hexanediol, Spirulina Platensis Extract, Hyaluronic Acid, etc.

In our tropical climate, heat-induced redness is common. This essence is incredibly lightweight, making it comfortable even on the most humid days. It provides the "relief" of a cream without any of the pore-clogging weight.

Starter Essentials (The Soothing Duo)

• Anua HEARTLEAF 77% SOOTHING TONER — Preps the skin with initial hydration.
• [THIS PRODUCT] — Provides intensive anti-inflammatory treatment.
• IsNtree HYALURONIC ACID WATERY SUN GEL — Protects sensitive skin from further UV stress.

Intensive Repair (Post-Sun/Irritated)

• [THIS PRODUCT] — Calms and regenerates.
• Dr.Althea 345 RELIEF CREAM 50ML — Locks in the essence and heals the barrier.

This essence is an excellent choice if your primary concerns are active redness and skin sensitivity.

• For Pigment + Redness: Anua AZELAIC ACID 10 HYALURON REDNESS SOOTHING SERUM 10ML — Choose this if you want to target both redness and dark spots simultaneously.
• For Deeper Plumping: Anua PDRN 100 HYALURONIC ACID BOOSTER TONER 250ML — Choose this if your skin feels "thin" and "crepey" rather than just red and irritated.

Mindful-use: If you already have a 100% Centella ampoule at home, finish that first; the Dr. Althea essence is more of a multi-botanical blend, so wait to switch until you need a more comprehensive soothing formula.

• Best For: Sensitive, reactive, or sun-stressed skin in Mauritius.
• Key Benefits: High Centella content, non-sticky, instantly cools.
• Keep in Mind: 30ml is a standard size, but because it is very liquid, you may go through it faster than a cream—reorder every 6-8 weeks for consistency.
