pHformula P.O.S.T. recovery cream - 50 ml

A calming cream for skin that is out of balance: tight, flushed, or sensitive following a treatment. It restores moisture and calms the skin.

Why it works

When skin feels irritated, the reflex is to apply something rich. But what is usually missing is not oil, but moisture and calm. Hyaluronic acid binds water in the upper layers. Niacinamide supports the skin barrier, the layer of fats that keeps moisture in and irritants out. Glycyrrhetinic acid from licorice root and bisabolol soothe, panthenol and aloe vera soften, and lactobionic acid provides moisture-binding in a low dose without irritation. Shea butter, sweet almond oil, and cottonseed oil make it nourishing.

The texture is a soft cream that absorbs quickly, leaving a supple, non-greasy feel.

For whom

For those whose skin turns red easily, feels tight after washing, or is a bit more sensitive in the days following a professional treatment. Also for dry skin in winter. And surprisingly: also for oily skin that has become overstimulated by harsh products, as it needs calm rather than further degreasing.

How to use it

Morning and evening on clean, dry skin, over face, neck, and décolleté, or after your serum. Massage gently until fully absorbed. In the morning, follow with sun protection, as this product does not contain an SPF. The detail that often goes wrong: people apply far too much as soon as their skin feels sensitive. A pea-sized amount is sufficient; a thick layer won't calm the skin, it will only make it feel suffocated.

What I would like to share with you

This cream is one to keep on hand, even if you don't need it every day. What I see most often in the treatment room is people trying everything when their skin goes through a sensitive phase: a different serum, a mask, more calming products. That rarely makes it better. Falling back on a simple routine and leaving it alone for a while does more. Your skin will feel calmer after a few days, but feel free to give it two weeks for the redness to truly diminish.
