Aiken
Derma Care Sensitive Skin Rescue Vitamin Lotion
Moisturizer

A massive, heavily lipid-focused emulsion designed to repair extreme dryness. It utilizes a vast array of botanical oils (Sunflower, Soybean, Almond) and Ceramides to actively reconstruct the intercellular mortar of a broken barrier. While the inclusion of Niacinamide provides excellent brightening and soothing benefits, the formula contains multiple essential oils (Lavender and Chamomile) which introduces a risk of contact dermatitis for highly allergic profiles.

Prebiotic Hydra Plus SPF25 Moisturiser
Moisturizer

A highly functional hybrid daytime moisturizer. It blends a robust Prebiotic/Postbiotic complex (Alpha-Glucan, Lactobacillus) to feed the cutaneous microbiome with stable chemical UV filters (Octocrylene, Tinosorb M, Uvinul T 150) to provide a solid baseline of SPF 25 protection. By utilizing lightweight silicones (Cyclopentasiloxane), it achieves a smooth, non-greasy finish that is vastly superior to traditional heavy drugstore sunscreens, making it an excellent all-in-one morning step for low-exposure days.

BHA PHA Brightening & Pore Refining Clay Mask
Aiken
BHA PHA Brightening & Pore Refining Clay Mask
Treatment

A deeply purifying kaolin clay mask designed for severe congestion. It operates by utilizing physical clay absorption to draw out excess sebum while delivering BHA and PHA directly into the pore structure. This dual-action approach dissolves hardened blackheads completely. Because it contains Kaolin, it will dry down and tighten on the face, requiring a thorough wash after 10 minutes.
