DEFENSE – Redness + Barrier Serum (Flush-Prone + Reactive Skin)

What gives Defense its calm-first feel?

Hydration support
4% glycerin (comfort hydration), 0.5% sodium PCA (NMF hydration support), and 1% saccharide isomerate (lasting hydration feel) help keep skin feeling soft, comfortable, and less tight.

Barrier comfort blend
3% Panthenol (barrier comfort), 1% beta-glucan (calming hydration), 2% niacinamide (barrier + tone support), 1% N-acetyl glucosamine (smooth tone support), allantoin (comfort support), and 2% glycosphingolipids (barrier lipid support) help support skin that feels steadier and more resilient.

Redness-comfort support
3% Pōhutukawa extract (antioxidant botanical support) + 0.5% bisabolol (soothing comfort) help comfort skin that feels flushed, reactive, or easily thrown off.

Lightweight cushion
Sunflower oil (barrier-softening support), oat oil (comforting lipid support), isoamyl laurate (plant-derived emollient) help the formula feel cushioned and supportive without a heavy finish.

The result:
Skin feels calmer, softer, and more comfortable - with lightweight barrier support that layers easily.

First cleanse with your favorite Pure + Kiwi cleanser. Dispense 1-2 pumps of serum onto hands, rub in and pat serum onto face and neck, then smooth it outward in a circular motion. Finish with your favorite Pure + Kiwi moisturizer.
