💆 A calming face serum from CIRCADIA engineered for sensitive, reactive, and rosacea-prone skin — built specifically to earn a place in post-procedure and redness-management protocols.

The Aldavine dual-algae complex targets vascular reactivity at the surface level, visibly reducing flushing and uneven tone over consistent use. The Telangyn peptide (Acetyl Tetrapeptide-40) adds a differentiating layer by addressing post-inflammatory discoloration — something a generic calming serum won't cover. Panthenol anchors the formula as the primary hydrating and soothing backbone, supporting barrier comfort in skin that's been triggered, treated, or compromised. A deep-sea biotech exopolysaccharide and marshmallow root extract round out the calming system with both film-forming surface protection and resilience support.

🧪 For estheticians running peels, microdermabrasion, laser, or IPL, this fits cleanly as an immediate post-treatment step — and doubles as a retail recommendation for rosacea-prone clients building a daily home-care routine that extends in-clinic results.

Clients managing chronic redness or post-procedure sensitivity will feel the difference.

• Visible Redness Reduction: The Aldavine dual-algae complex and Telangyn peptide work together to address the surface-level signals that cause skin to appear flushed or red. Over consistent use, skin shows a calmer, more even tone with less visible reactivity.
• Comfort for Sensitive and Reactive Skin: Panthenol (Provitamin B5), Alteromonas Ferment Extract, and Althaea Officinalis Root Extract help the skin feel less tight, irritated, and reactive after application, supporting surface comfort in easily triggered or post-procedure skin.
• Barrier-Supportive Hydration: Panthenol and the humectant base help attract and retain moisture at the skin surface, keeping sensitive skin feeling supple and reducing the tight, dry sensation that often accompanies a compromised barrier.
• Reduction of Post-Inflammatory Discoloration Appearance: The Telangyn peptide is formulated to help reduce the appearance of lingering discoloration associated with past breakouts or skin reactions, supporting a more uniform complexion over time.
• Surface Antioxidant Protection: The MAXnolia Blend of Magnolia Officinalis Bark Extract and Vitis Vinifera Seed Extract provides polyphenolic antioxidant coverage at the skin surface, helping defend against the visible effects of environmental stress on sensitive skin.
• Protection Against Environmental Irritants: Althaea Officinalis Root Extract forms a light, mucilage-based film on the skin surface that helps shield reactive skin from direct contact with potential irritants in the environment.

Panthenol - known as Provitamin B5: A highly skin-compatible form of vitamin B5 that absorbs readily into the skin surface and helps maintain moisture levels while supporting barrier comfort. In this serum, Panthenol is the highest-concentration active after water, making it the primary hydrating and soothing backbone of the formula. It helps the skin feel softer, more supple, and less reactive after application.

Ascophyllum Nodosum Extract / Asparagopsis Armata Extract — Aldavine Dual-Algae Complex: A patented complex of two sulphated polysaccharides extracted from sea algae — Ascophyllum Nodosum (knotted wrack) and Asparagopsis Armata — that work together to help inhibit signals associated with vascular reactivity and visible redness. The dual-polysaccharide system is positioned by the brand as a key calming active, addressing the biological pathways that make sensitive skin prone to flushing and visible capillary response. It contributes to a calmer, more even skin appearance over time.

Acetyl Tetrapeptide-40 — Telangyn Anti-Redness Peptide: A synthetic tetrapeptide marketed under the trade name Telangyn, formulated to target the appearance of redness and uneven skin tone associated with dilated surface vessels and post-inflammatory discoloration. Peptides of this class function at very low concentrations, targeting specific surface-level pathways involved in visible vascular reactivity. It is a differentiating ingredient that distinguishes this formula from a generic calming serum. Note: the brand description references 'AcetylTripeptide-33'; the INCI list records this as 'Acetyl Tetrapeptide-40' — a discrepancy flagged for manufacturer clarification.

Alteromonas Ferment Extract — Abbysine PF Deep-Sea Exopolysaccharide: A biotechnology-derived exopolysaccharide from Alteromonas, an extremophile microorganism native to deep-sea hydrothermal vents, marketed as Abbysine PF. This ingredient is formulated to help reduce the visible signs of sensitivity and reactivity in compromised skin, supporting a more resilient surface appearance under stress. Its extremophile origin makes it a uniquely differentiated biotech active that sets this formula apart from conventional calming serums.

Magnolia Officinalis Bark Extract / Vitis Vinifera Seed Extract — MAXnolia Antioxidant Blend: A branded blend combining Magnolia Officinalis Bark Extract and Vitis Vinifera Seed Extract (grape seed), both recognized sources of polyphenolic antioxidants. In the context of this calming serum, the blend helps address visible signs of redness and the dull, uneven appearance associated with environmental oxidative stress on sensitive skin. The pairing of bark- and seed-derived polyphenols provides complementary antioxidant coverage, supporting a more even and resilient skin appearance.

Althaea Officinalis Root Extract - known as Marshmallow Root Extract: Derived from the root of the marshmallow plant, this extract is rich in mucilage polysaccharides that form a light, protective film on the skin surface. This film helps shield sensitive or compromised skin from contact with environmental irritants and supports a smoother, more comfortable surface texture. Its film-forming quality complements the formula's soothing actives by providing a gentle physical barrier effect alongside the chemical calming mechanisms.

1. Cleanse the client's face thoroughly and pat dry.
2. Dispense several drops of the serum onto fingertips or directly onto the client's face and neck.
3. Gently pat the serum into the skin using light pressing motions — do not rub, as friction may increase visible redness in reactive skin.
4. Allow the serum to absorb briefly before proceeding to the next step.
5. Follow immediately with a moisturizer to seal in the serum and maximize soothing and redness-reducing effects.
6. Use morning and night as part of the client's regular facial treatment protocol.

Protocol notes for sensitive and post-procedure clients

This serum is well-suited as an immediate post-treatment step following microdermabrasion, chemical peels, laser, or IPL services where the skin barrier is temporarily compromised. Applying it before moisturizer in these contexts helps address the heightened reactivity and visible redness typical of post-procedure skin. For rosacea-prone clients, consider recommending both professional treatments and retail sizing to support daily home use — the twice-daily protocol reinforces in-clinic results and builds consistent retail revenue around a targeted skin concern the client has already identified.
