pHformula SOS repair cream - 50 ml

A soothing cream for skin that is temporarily upset: sensitive, red, and tight after a salon treatment, a day with too much sun, or a routine that was a bit too intense.

Why it works

Irritated skin doesn't need extra active ingredients; it needs less. This cream is built on that principle: a short, calm formula without acids and without retinol. Shea butter replenishes the lipid barrier between your skin cells to reduce moisture evaporation, panthenol binds moisture and soothes, and rooibos extract acts as an antioxidant. The fact that it contains very little is not a shortcoming here, but precisely the reason it does what it does.

The texture is soft and creamy and feels cool upon application.

For whom

For anyone whose skin is temporarily upset: tight and warm after a salon treatment, red after a day with too much sun, chapped after a winter walk, or overstimulated because there were too many active products in the routine at once. Also for those with completely normal skin who are going through a busy, sleep-deprived period: that shows on your face faster than you would think.

How to use it

In the morning and/or evening, after a gentle cleanse, apply a thin layer to your face, neck, and décolleté. Apply by patting it on. What goes wrong: people use it as a one-day emergency fix and go right back to their acids the next day. Give your skin just this for a week or two, without any active products in between. Apply sunscreen over it during the day.

What I would like to share with you

This is the cream I recommend most often after a treatment, and also the one I am asked about most frequently: why does my skin feel better now than with my expensive routine? The answer is usually not the cream itself, but the break it provides. You will feel the comfort the same day, but it takes two to three weeks for skin to become resilient again. Rebuild your routine slowly after that, adding one product per week and not everything all at once.
