THE FORMULA

This cool green bottle is a chill pill for redness, breakouts and irritation. Calming Force is a weightless, skin-soothing hydration serum that interrupts the cycle of inflammation before it spirals, helping to calm stressed, reactive skin while supporting long-term clarity.

Powered by clinically proven actives, it works to rebalance, strengthen, and protect without clogging pores or sensitizing. Niacinamide and MSM team up to calm redness, refine pores, and fortify your skin barrier for reduced sensitivity, while a gentle microdose of salicylic acid keeps pores clear and inflammation in check. Licorice root and panthenol fade post-breakout marks and restore equilibrium, and hyaluronic acid plus saccharide isomerate provide essential hydration to keep skin plump and resilient.

Daily use helps your skin look and feel healthier, calmer, and more in control. Bonus: anything that reduces inflammation also slows the signs of aging. Win-win.

  • Lightweight and fast absorbing.
  • Free of fragrance and essential oils.
  • Safe for all skin types.
  • Skin-friendly pH 5.0-5.5.

Powerfully calming active ingredients to the rescue

Calming Force Serum is a multi-tasker that soothes breakout-prone skin and fights off the signs of premature aging at the same time.

We combined a powerfully soothing, multi-functional array of active ingredients to restore calm to inflamed skin: MSM, niacinamide (vitamin B3), panthenol (vitamin B6), zinc, licorice root extract and salicylic acid come together for a uniquely mild yet efficacious approach to restoring equilibrium.

This serum is the perfect fit for unbalanced and inflamed skin that’s experiencing redness and breakouts, while thinking ahead to prevent the visible signs of aging.

How to use: Use your fingertips to smooth a small amount onto the skin. Do not mix/layer with acidic products, such as vitamin C, AHAs, or exfoliants. These may cause a reaction with ingredients in this product.
