Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Balance Moisturiser while pregnant or breastfeeding?

As a cosmetics company, we are unable to provide product advice in relation to medical conditions such as pregnancy. We would recommend discussing the ingredients with your GP or midwife before use.

When and how should I apply Balance Moisturiser?

After cleansing in the morning and evening, apply Balance Moisturiser evenly across the face, neck and décolletage.

How do I layer Balance Moisturiser with sunscreen?

After cleansing and toning in the morning, apply Balance Moisturiser to the face, neck and décolletage. Follow with sunscreen. We recommend Advanced Day Ultimate Protect.

Why has the Glycolic Acid Activator been discontinued?

We’ve decided to move away from the Glycolic Acid Activator to make your skincare journey simpler and more tailored to you after reviewing your feedback. By offering Balance Moisturiser, we’ve given you the freedom to pair it with your favourite targeted exfoliants (like Sleep Glycolic or Press & Clear) in a way that works best for your unique skin.

What results can we expect to see with just the Balance Moisturiser?

The core benefits remain unchanged: it is a lightweight, pore-refining mattifier that provides continuous hydration.

It continues to support the skin's natural microbiome, reduce sensitivity, and strengthen the skin barrier.

The texture, usability, and efficacy of the moisturiser itself are completely unchanged from the previous version.
