✨ A professional rebalancing cream for oily and combination skin — built around a botanical antimicrobial system (Cinnamon Bark and Thyme Extracts) that targets surface bacteria and excess sebum without stripping moisture, making it a natural fit for oily-skin facial protocols.

🧪 At its core, Azelaic Acid works on follicle-level congestion to reduce the appearance of blemishes and blackheads, while a stabilized dual Vitamin C ester system supports antioxidant protection and a more even skin tone. Centella Asiatica steps in as the post-extraction anchor — visibly calming reactive skin in the same step that addresses residual surface bacteria. Witch Hazel tightens pore appearance; Squalane and Safflower Oil deliver non-comedogenic hydration that keeps oily-skin clients comfortable between sessions.

Compatible with High Frequency, Ionization Rollers, and LED Blue Light Therapy — and effective as an under-mask base layer to compound treatment results.

For estheticians running oily and combination skin facials who want one rebalancing step to handle calming, congestion, and brightness together.

• Visible Blemish Reduction: Azelaic Acid works to reduce the appearance of clogged follicles and blemishes by addressing excess surface keratin buildup and inhibiting the bacteria linked to oily, breakout-prone skin — a key outcome for clients seeking clearer-looking skin after professional extractions.
• Antioxidant Brightening: Two stabilized vitamin C ester forms — 3-Glyceryl Ascorbate and Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate — deliver free-radical neutralizing activity in a formulation-stable format, helping protect skin from oxidative dullness and supporting a more even, luminous skin tone appearance.
• Bacterial Flora Rebalancing: The Cinnamon Bark and Thyme Extract pairing provides active surface antimicrobial activity via cinnamaldehyde and thymol compounds, helping to reduce the appearance of oiliness and breakout activity without stripping moisture — the brand's defining differentiation for this cream.
• Post-Extraction Calming: Centella Asiatica (Gotu Kola) Extract delivers triterpenoid compounds recognized for visibly calming reactive or disrupted skin, making the cream especially effective when applied immediately after professional extractions as part of a facial service protocol.
• Pore-Toning and Texture Refinement: Witch Hazel Extract contributes a natural tannin-based astringency that temporarily tightens the appearance of enlarged pores and refines skin surface texture, visually smoothing the skin following treatment.
• Soothing Brightness Complement: Licorice Root Extract adds glabridin-driven antioxidant and skin-tone-evening properties alongside a calming visible effect, working in tandem with the vitamin C ester system to support a clearer, more even-toned complexion appearance over time.
• Non-Comedogenic Hydration: The cream's lightweight emollient base — built around Squalane, Propanediol, and Safflower Seed Oil — delivers hydration and nourishment appropriate for oily and combination skin types without contributing to pore blockage, maintaining client comfort between professional treatments.

Azelaic Acid: A dicarboxylic acid that targets excess keratin buildup in follicle openings, helping to reduce the appearance of blackheads and blemishes while also interfering with the bacteria associated with acne-prone skin — the category-defining active for professional oily/combination skin rebalancing treatments.

3-Glyceryl Ascorbate / Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate — Stabilized Vitamin C Ester System: Two complementary stabilized forms of vitamin C — 3-Glyceryl Ascorbate (a glyceryl-bound ester) and Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (a phosphate salt form) — that deliver antioxidant protection against free radical-induced skin dullness and support a brighter, more even skin tone appearance without the instability of pure L-Ascorbic Acid in a water-based formula.

Cinnamomum Zeylanicum Bark Extract / Thymus Vulgaris Extract — Cinnamon & Thyme Antimicrobial System: Cinnamon Bark and Thyme Extracts deliver a potent botanical antimicrobial pairing — cinnamaldehyde and thymol/carvacrol — that act on the skin surface to reduce bacteria linked to oiliness and breakouts, supporting a more balanced and clearer skin appearance without stripping the skin's moisture.

Centella Asiatica Extract - known as Gotu Kola Extract: A standardized botanical concentrated in triterpenoid saponins (asiaticoside, madecassoside) that help visibly calm reactive or sensitized skin, making it particularly well-suited for post-extraction use when the skin barrier has been disrupted and the surface needs calming support.

Hamamelis Virginiana Extract - known as Witch Hazel Extract: A tannin-rich astringent botanical that helps temporarily tighten the appearance of enlarged pores and tone the skin surface, complementing the antimicrobial actives by visibly refining skin texture and reducing surface oiliness.

Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract - known as Licorice Root Extract: A trace-effective botanical standardized in glabridin and liquiritin, delivering antioxidant and visible skin-tone-evening properties that complement the vitamin C ester system, while also contributing a calming effect that suits the post-extraction, reactive-skin application context.

1. Cleanse the client's face thoroughly and complete any extractions prior to application.
2. Dispense an appropriate amount of cream (typically a pea- to dime-sized amount depending on treatment area) onto a clean spatula or fingertips.
3. Apply the cream generously and evenly across the client's face, focusing on oily zones and any areas of post-extraction congestion.
4. For enhanced penetration during a professional service, pass the High Frequency Machine over the applied cream according to device manufacturer protocol.
5. Alternatively, use Ionization Rollers over the applied cream on blemish-prone or reactive areas to drive deeper product absorption.
6. For targeted blue-light therapy sessions, apply the cream directly to areas of concern and proceed with LED Blue Light Therapy exposure as per device protocol.
7. The cream may be used as a base layer underneath a treatment mask — apply the cream first, allow brief absorption, then apply the mask on top.
8. When used under a penetrating mask, apply the cream as the first treatment layer before masking, following the mask's required processing time and removal protocol.
9. Following all treatment steps, complete the service with appropriate SPF application during daytime services.

Pro Tips for Oily & Combination Skin Services

This cream is most effective when applied immediately post-extraction while the skin is still receptive — the Centella Asiatica and antimicrobial botanical system address both the reactive state of the skin and residual surface bacteria in the same step, reducing the need for separate calming and antibacterial products. For clients with chronically congested zones, consistent use as an under-mask treatment step (layered beneath a clay or purifying mask) allows the active system to work on the follicle environment while the mask draws excess sebum — a protocol worth recommending for a take-home or series-of-treatments upsell conversation.
