Calming and barrier serums soothe reactive skin and help restore the skin barrier, the protective layer that keeps water in and irritants out. When that barrier is compromised, skin reacts to everything: redness, stinging, heat and sensitivity.
Who they're for
Sensitive, reactive and redness-prone skin, rosacea-prone skin, and skin that has been over-exfoliated, stressed by the weather or is recovering after a professional treatment.
Key ingredients to look for
Ceramides, niacinamide, panthenol, centella asiatica, azelaic acid, colloidal oat and microbiome-supporting ingredients such as pre- and postbiotics.
How to use
Apply morning and evening after cleansing, before moisturizer. While skin recovers, simplify your routine and pause strong actives such as acids and retinoids.
Expert insight from Loshen & Crem
Sensitivity is often a symptom, not a skin type. In our facial studio, a lot of the "sensitive skin" we see is a barrier that has been pushed too hard. Repair the barrier first, and the skin usually tolerates much more afterwards.
Frequently asked questions
Can a serum help with rosacea? Calming serums can make rosacea-prone skin more comfortable and less reactive. For diagnosis and medical treatment, see your physician or dermatologist.
How long does it take to repair the skin barrier? Most skin feels calmer within a few days, but rebuilding a resilient barrier usually takes several weeks of consistent, gentle care.

great cleanser. use it with VIP cream and others.
gentle and does the job!
i keep switching between all these BR creams because they all work great and my skin gets to try something diff every few months
the best!
super gentle
It’s my second jar, lasted me almost a year. Perfect for colder seasons, calms skin right away, locks in other creams. I use it overnight or if especially dry and irritated can do during the day or locally or irritated or dry areas.
I received a sample of this product, so I can't comment on its effectiveness as collagen, but it tastes good and was easy to drink. Since I only got one sachet, I can't speak to its long-term results.
Received this product as a free sample from L&C - thank you so much! Really enjoyed this product - could physically 'feel' it working its magic. Skin felt and looked amazing the next morning. Will look into buying full-sized product for sure.
Really beautiful product and a little goes a long way! Skin feels fantastic the next morning.
I purchased this specifically to use following a laser treatment and have been so impressed with it. The texture is smooth and silky and glides over the skin beautifully without feeling heavy. I have sensitive, acne-prone skin and have been very happy with how comfortable it feels. This has quickly become one of my favourite sunscreens.
great
