Dealing with redness and sensitivity in the heat can be frustrating. This lightweight gel-cream is designed to provide immediate, cooling relief for irritated and blemish-prone skin, making it a perfect fit for Mauritius' humid climate.

• Texture: Lightweight, refreshing gel-cream.
• Finish: Hydrated and soothed, without a greasy or sticky feel.
• Best For: Oily, Combination, Normal, and Sensitive skin types.
• Core Benefits: Calms redness and irritation, strengthens the skin barrier, provides lightweight hydration, and helps soothe breakouts.

1. Cleanser: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser.
2. THIS PRODUCT: Apply a pea-sized amount to your face and neck.
3. Sunscreen (AM) / Moisturiser (PM): Follow with sunscreen in the morning. At night, this cream is your final moisturising step.

Note: Already own a similar calming cream? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, don’t stack).

Minimalist (3 steps):

1. Cleanser
2. ROUND LAB Mugwort Calming Cream
3. Sunscreen (SPF 30+)

Optional Additions:

• Add a hydrating toner before the cream if your skin feels tight.
• If you use a Vitamin C or Niacinamide serum for dark spots, apply it before this cream.

Wait times: Allow serums to absorb for 30-60 seconds before applying the cream. Wait 1-2 minutes before applying sunscreen to prevent pilling.

Minimalist (2-3 steps):

1. Cleanser: Use an oil cleanser first if removing makeup or water-resistant sunscreen, followed by a water-based cleanser.
2. ROUND LAB Mugwort Calming Cream: Apply as your final step to lock in moisture and soothe skin overnight.

Optional Additions:

• Apply a hydrating or treatment serum before the cream.
• If using a strong active like a retinoid or chemical exfoliant, apply it before this cream to buffer potential irritation. Do not use strong actives on the same night.

Daily Use — AM/PM:

• Amount: A pea-sized amount for the face. Add another half-pea for the neck.
• Apply to: Clean face and neck.
• Method: Gently smooth over the skin and pat lightly to aid absorption.
• Frequency: Can be used twice daily, morning and night.

If-This / Then-That:

• Very oily T-zone? Use a thinner layer in the morning. Your sunscreen might provide enough moisture on its own.
• Feeling dry from AC? Layer this cream over a hydrating toner or essence to boost moisture.
• Sensitive or reactive? This cream is designed for you, but always patch-test first. Use it as a buffer before stronger actives like retinoids.
• Under makeup? Its gel texture makes it a great base. Wait 1-2 minutes for it to absorb before applying sunscreen or primer to prevent pilling.

Safety: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Discontinue use if a rash or irritation occurs. Patch testing before first use is recommended.

This cream is a gentle daily hydrator and can be used every day, morning and night.

• Daily: Use AM and PM as your moisturiser.

If you use strong actives:

• This cream is an excellent "buffer" to use on nights you apply retinoids or chemical exfoliants (AHA/BHA).
• Example Week (PM): Mon: Retinoid + This Cream | Tue: This Cream only | Wed: Exfoliant (AHA/BHA) + This Cream | Thu: This Cream only | Fri: Retinoid + This Cream | Sat/Sun: This Cream only.
• Rule: Do not use strong retinoids and strong acids on the same night. This cream can be used every night to keep skin calm and hydrated.

• Immediate: Skin feels instantly cooled, soothed, and hydrated. A feeling of tightness or irritation is reduced.
• 2–4 weeks: Visible reduction in overall redness and frequency of irritation. The skin barrier begins to feel stronger and more resilient. Breakouts may appear less inflamed.
• 4–8+ weeks: With consistent use alongside daily sunscreen, skin tone appears more even and less prone to flushing. The skin maintains a healthy moisture balance, feeling less oily yet well-hydrated.

• Why use this soothing cream, not harsh alcohol-based toners? When skin is red or irritated, stripping it with alcohol-based products can damage the skin barrier and worsen inflammation. This cream calms and hydrates, helping the skin heal itself, which is a safer and more effective long-term solution.

• Works Well With: Niacinamide, Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid, Peptides, and Sunscreen. It's excellent for buffering the potential irritation of stronger ingredients.
• Use With Caution: When layering with strong chemical exfoliants (AHA, BHA) or Retinoids. Use this cream *after* your active to soothe and moisturise. Avoid using multiple strong actives in the same routine.
• Avoid On: Do not apply to broken or wounded skin without consulting a professional.

• Oily / Combination: Excellent. The lightweight gel-cream texture provides hydration without feeling heavy or greasy, helping to balance the skin.
• Sensitive / Acne-Prone: Ideal. Formulated with Mugwort and Madecassoside specifically to calm irritation, reduce redness, and soothe breakouts without clogging pores.
• Normal: A great choice for daily lightweight hydration and antioxidant protection.
• Dry: May not be rich enough on its own, especially in drier winter months or in heavy air-conditioning. Best used when layered over a hydrating serum or followed by a facial oil at night.

• Redness and flushing
• Skin irritation and sensitivity
• Compromised or damaged skin barrier
• Inflamed blemishes and acne-prone skin
• Dehydration in oily/combination skin

Who should use this?

This cream is suitable for most skin types, especially those dealing with sensitivity, redness, and oiliness. It is gentle enough for teenagers experiencing breakouts and irritation.

Who should use with caution?

While formulated for sensitivity, anyone with a known allergy to Mugwort, ragweed, or any other ingredient in the list should exercise caution.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a pea-sized amount of the cream to a small, clean area of skin, such as behind your ear or on your inner jawline.
2. Wait 24 hours to observe for any signs of irritation like redness, itching, or burning.
3. If no reaction occurs, re-check the area at 48 and 72 hours, as some reactions can be delayed.
4. If your skin shows any signs of irritation, discontinue use.

• Texture: A soft, lightweight gel-cream that spreads easily and feels refreshing upon application.
• Finish: Absorbs well into the skin, leaving a hydrated, dewy finish without feeling sticky or greasy.
• Scent: Faintly herbal and earthy, derived naturally from the Mugwort extract. No added fragrance.
• pH: The pH of this product is not publicly disclosed by the brand, but it is formulated to be gentle and is expected to be in the mildly acidic range optimal for skin health (approx. 5.5 - 6.5).
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Based on ingredient analysis, this formula appears to be fungal acne-safe. However, individual responses can vary.

• Issue: My skin still feels dry after using it. Solution: This is a lightweight cream. For drier skin types, layer it over a hydrating toner or serum (like one with hyaluronic acid) to boost moisture. At night, you can seal it in with a few drops of a non-comedogenic facial oil.
• Issue: The product is pilling under my makeup/sunscreen. Solution: Pilling is usually caused by applying too much product or not allowing layers to absorb. Use a slightly smaller amount of the cream and wait a full 1-2 minutes for it to dry down before applying your next step.
• Issue: I'm not seeing a reduction in redness. Solution: Calming redness is a gradual process. Ensure you are using the cream consistently twice a day and, most importantly, applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning. Sun exposure is a major trigger for redness and will counteract the benefits of any calming product.

• Humid Summer: This cream's lightweight gel texture is perfect for the hot and humid Mauritian summer. It provides essential hydration and soothing benefits without feeling heavy, sticky, or contributing to excess shine. It can often be used as a standalone moisturiser for oily to normal skin types in the morning.
• Drier Winter / Air-Conditioning: During the slightly cooler, drier winter months or if you spend significant time in air-conditioned environments, you may need to boost its hydrating power. Apply it over a hydrating toner or essence to ensure your skin stays plump and comfortable.

Is this cream suitable for fungal acne?

Based on its ingredient list, this cream is considered fungal acne-safe as it does not contain common triggers like fatty acids or esters that Malassezia yeast feeds on. However, individual sensitivities can vary.

Can I use this with my retinol or AHA/BHA product?

Yes, it's an excellent cream to use alongside strong actives. Apply your retinol or acid first, wait a few minutes, and then apply this cream on top. It will help to soothe and moisturise the skin, potentially reducing the irritation and dryness associated with these ingredients.

Is this moisturiser enough for very dry skin?

For very dry skin, this lightweight gel-cream might not be occlusive enough on its own, especially in a dry environment like an air-conditioned room. We recommend layering it over a hydrating serum and/or adding a few drops of a facial oil at night for extra nourishment.

Does the Mugwort in this cream have a strong smell?

No. The cream is fragrance-free and has a very faint, natural herbal scent from the mugwort extract that is barely noticeable and fades almost instantly upon application.

Best For: Individuals with oily, combination, or sensitive skin looking for a lightweight daily moisturiser to calm redness, soothe irritation, and provide balanced hydration, especially in a humid climate.

Key Benefits:

• Effectively reduces redness and calms inflammation.
• Lightweight gel-cream texture absorbs quickly without stickiness.
• Strengthens the skin barrier and soothes breakouts.

Keep in Mind:

• May not be sufficiently moisturising for those with very dry skin.
• Some users have reported pilling when layered incorrectly under makeup.
