- A gentle yet effective serum containing dragon's blood and centella asiatica. Ideal for use on sensitive and damaged skin that won't tolerate strong acids and retinoids.
- Dragon's blood contains phenolic compounds and the alkaloid taspine, perfect for use on wounds and scars.
- Centella asiatica (also known as gotu kola) has been shown to be effective as an anti-inflammatory agent, particularly for eczema. Centella can also enhance Type I collagen, which declines with age. Centella's mechanism of action encourages the construction of fibroblasts, thus expediting the synthesis of collagen. Centella extract has been shown to improve skin's firmness, elasticity and moisture after six months.
- Evening primrose oil soothes skin and increases the absorbency of the other actives in this serum.
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) helps skin to absorb moisture.
- Free of parabens, silicones, PEGs, SLS, SLES, and mineral oils. Vegan and cruelty-free. Made in the UK.
- Use by itself or underneath your favourite moisturiser.
- Facetheory products contain a high concentration of actives, so only a small amount is required per use.
Centasoothe Botanical Serum S5 contains botanical extracts of Dragon's Blood and Centella Asiatica, which can help to rebuild collagen. Recommended for use on scars. Formulated for sensitive, damaged or inflamed skin.
Recommended for
All skin types, including dehydrated, sensitive and mature skin.
