Breakouts and sensitivity are more than surface-level concerns—they signal a compromised skin barrier. The Skin Recovery System is designed to address those signals at the source, helping restore, rebalance, and strengthen the skin barrier from within. Formulated with patented AA Complex technology, this comprehensive system is clinically shown to visibly calm redness and boost hydration within 24 hours after a single use, while supporting long-term barrier repair. Dermatologist-tested and thoughtfully developed for sensitive and acne-prone skin, this regimen delivers meaningful results where your skin needs them most.

  • Step 1: Cleanse — Skin Recovery Amino Acid Cleanser A gentle foaming cleanser that effectively purifies without disrupting the skin barrier. Clinically shown to help reinforce barrier strength and reduce moisture loss in just seven days, it calms the look of redness while removing sunscreen, makeup, pollution, excess oil, and daily impurities—without irritation. 5.0 fl oz / 150 mL
  • Step 2: Tone — Skin Recovery Essence Toner This lightweight, alcohol-free toner refreshes and detoxifies while maintaining hydration. Infused with malachite extract, it helps remove impurities, protect against environmental stressors, and naturally gives the formula its soft blue hue. The skin is replenished with essential nutrients to enhance moisture absorption and retention. 7.3 fl oz / 215 mL
  • Step 3: Treat — Skin Recovery Serum The most intensive treatment in the system, formulated with double the concentration of AAComplex. Enriched with Cica to help soothe irritation and support barrier recovery, this serum is clinically shown to visibly reduce redness within 24 hours after one application. 1.0 fl oz / 20 mL
  • Step 4: Moisturize — Skin Recovery Light Moisturizer Delivers calming, breathable hydration with a barely-there feel. Powered by plant-derived squalane, it helps prevent moisture loss while keeping skin soft and balanced. Fast-absorbing, non-greasy, and ideal for daily wear. 1.7 fl oz / 50 mL
