For many people, no.
Restore was designed to do the work of a moisturizer in a much simpler formula. Its blend of squalane, sacha inchi oil, and vitamin E helps reduce moisture loss, support the skin barrier, and keep skin hydrated without the weight of a traditional cream.
If your skin is extremely dry, you can still layer a cream over it. But for most people, Restore works beautifully on its own.
No. Restore is an oil-based serum, but it was specifically formulated to feel lightweight, absorb quickly, and work well on acne-prone skin.
Squalane gives the formula a light, silky feel, while the overall blend is designed to moisturize without leaving a heavy or greasy layer behind.
Restore is also formulated to be non-comedogenic.
Restore helps support the lipid barrier that keeps moisture in and environmental stressors out.
Its blend of squalane and sacha inchi oil replenishes skin-compatible lipids, helping reduce transepidermal water loss and improve the skin’s ability to hold onto moisture.
In clinical testing, 91% of participants showed a measurable improvement in skin barrier function after four weeks of use.
A healthy skin barrier and a healthy skin microbiome are closely connected.
Restore was formulated with skin-compatible plant oils that help support the environment your skin’s natural microbiome depends on.
The goal is not to add bacteria to your skin. It is to help support the healthy skin environment that is already there.
Very. Restore delivers immediate hydration and is designed to help your skin hold onto that moisture throughout the day.
In clinical testing, 97% of participants maintained improved hydration levels at the eight-hour mark after four weeks of use.
Yes. Restore was designed to work across skin types, including sensitive, oily, combination, and dry skin.
The formula is extremely simple - squalane, sacha inchi oil, and vitamin E - with no added fragrance and no long list of unnecessary ingredients.
If your skin is naturally oily, start with 1 to 2 drops. If it is dry, use a little more.
Restore helps improve the things that often make skin look older: dehydration, rough texture, and a weakened skin barrier.
By helping the skin retain moisture and supporting barrier function, Restore can make skin look smoother, softer, and more supple.
Vitamin E also provides antioxidant support against environmental stress.
Yes. Restore was designed to fit easily into a normal skincare routine. It absorbs quickly and works well under sunscreen and makeup.
It can also be used alongside retinoids, acids, and other actives, where its barrier-supporting and moisturizing properties can be especially useful.
In the morning, apply Restore before sunscreen.
Use 2 to 4 drops on clean skin, morning, night, or both.
Gently massage it across your face and neck and let it absorb before moving on to sunscreen, makeup, or the rest of your routine.
If your skin is oily, once a day may be plenty. If it is dry, stressed, or dealing with a compromised barrier, you may prefer to use it morning and night.
