Perfect for daily use on sensitive, reactive, dry, dehydrated or stressed skin.

Key Benefits of Refresh Treatment Tonic

Instant Calming & Redness Reduction - Green tea & oat extract soothe sensitivity and irritation
Deep, Long-Lasting Hydration - Beta-glucan locks in moisture for plump, comfortable skin
Barrier Strengthening - Reinforces natural defences to prevent dehydration and reactivity
Antioxidant Protection - Shields against daily environmental stress for brighter, healthier skin
Refreshed, Balanced Glow - Leaves complexion dewy, even and revitalised
This fragrance-light, non-irritating tonic is gentle enough for twice-daily use - even on sensitive, reactive or rosacea-prone skin when patch-tested.
Stressed, reactive or dehydrated skin often feels tight, red or dull after cleansing - especially in dry climates, after travel or during seasonal shifts. Refresh Treatment Tonic is a soothing, barrier-focused step that combines green tea extract, beta-glucan and Avena sativa (oat) kernel extract to instantly calm irritation, flood skin with long-lasting hydration and reinforce the natural barrier - delivering a refreshed, plump, balanced and radiant complexion in one gentle swipe.

Why This Botanical + Beta-Glucan Trio Works So Beautifully

Green Tea Extract - Rich in EGCG and polyphenols, green tea provides potent antioxidant protection, soothes inflammation, reduces redness and helps defend against environmental aggressors (pollution, UV, blue light) while promoting a brighter, more even tone.

Beta-Glucan - A polysaccharide derived from oats or yeast that acts as a powerful humectant and film-former. It draws in moisture, forms a protective layer to prevent water loss, calms irritation and supports skin repair - delivering superior hydration and comfort compared to many other humectants.

Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Extract - Packed with avenanthramides, beta-glucans and lipids, oat extract is renowned for its anti-inflammatory, soothing and barrier-strengthening properties. It reduces sensitivity, relieves itchiness or tightness and leaves skin soft and protected.

Together they create a multi-action calming-hydration system:

Immediate soothing and redness reduction

Deep, sustained moisture retention

Barrier reinforcement against dehydration and irritants

Antioxidant defence for healthier, brighter-looking skin

A refreshed, dewy finish without heaviness or stickiness

The ultra-light, watery texture absorbs in seconds with no residue - making it the perfect post-cleanse step before serums or moisturisers.

How to use :

After cleansing, dispense onto a cotton pad or clean hands and gently pat or swipe over face and neck (avoid eye area). Allow to absorb fully before applying serums or moisturiser. Use morning and evening. For extra soothing, apply over slightly damp skin or mist throughout the day. Instant calm and hydration appear immediately; optimal barrier strength, reduced reactivity and radiance after 2-4 weeks of consistent use.
