What’s inside

Every active, and what it is doing there.

The number on the bottle is a position on a scale. This is what sits behind it.

  • ACTIVE

    Pro-vitamin B5 5.0%

    A humectant used for the feel of comfort in a formula that is doing something demanding.

  • SUPPORTING

    Ceramides

    Barrier lipids. Skin makes its own; these top up what cleansing and actives take out.

  • SUPPORTING

    Ectoin

    An extremophile-derived osmolyte used for comfort under environmental stress.

These are the actives and the supporting ingredients we formulate around. The complete INCI list is being added to every product page.

Skin you owe an apology is a very accurate description of what I put on this for. Sunburn, wine and four hours of sleep, and by morning it had genuinely repaired.

Redness gone by morning

Twice now.

Thick, sinks in over about twenty minutes, no residue on the pillow. Use it Sunday nights.

The one I reach for after a flight or a bad week

Jar has lasted since spring.

Excellent overnight mask

It is very rich, so if you are oily use a thin layer or skip your moisturiser.

Milena T. Verified buyer
3.0

Good but I own the barrier cream and I struggle to tell them apart on my skin. If you have that already I would think about whether you need both.

Questions

Frequently asked

Common questions about the rescue mask

What does the colour on the bottle mean?

It is the dose. Every product floods one of five steps of the same blue: the palest is the cleansers, where water does the work, and full-strength cupric is reserved for the four copper products. A product cannot change band because of a season or a repackage.

Why is copper limited to four products?

Because a flagship that can be extended forever is not a flagship. GHK-Cu at full dose is the most expensive thing we make and it stays on the face, in four products. If we launch a fifth copper SKU, we will have changed our minds in public rather than quietly.

Do you publish the percentages?

On every product, in the first chapter of the page, before any claim is made about it. Where a formula is a blend rather than a single active, the page shows the blend instead of inventing a headline number.

How do I know what not to layer?

It is printed in the how-to-use block on each product, not buried in an FAQ. The short version: copper peptides and direct acids do not go on together, and a retinal night is followed by SPF in the morning.

Where do I start?

The copper protocol — the blue serum, the barrier cream and the daily spf. Treat, repair-adjacent support, and protection, which is the whole argument of the system in three steps.

Before you buy

The number is a position, not a grade.

Every active at the percentage it is used at, and what not to layer it with — stated before any claim is made about it.
