A light & silky gel formula with high amounts of Beta-Glucan from Oat and Madecassoside from Centella Asiatica to soothe and repair the skin.
Stress Less is designed to improve sensitive, damaged, irritated or dehydrated skin with the combination of Beta-Glucan & Madecassoside, two supermolecules with remarkable skin soothing, repairing and hydrating abilities.
Beta-Glucan is the most bioactive and valuable part of Oat with intensive skin repairing, skin smoothing & wound healing properties, while Madecassoside is one of the main active components of Centella Asiatica, a medicinal plant that has well-established soothing, wound healing and antioxidant activities.
We use 0.2% Beta-Glucan and 0.3% Madecassoside in this formula. While these numbers might not sound high, when it comes to these two actives, they are. Studies use Madecassoside from as low as 0.05% (shown to inhibit UV induced melanin production) or at 0.1% combined with 5% Vitamin C for anti-aging benefits. 0.2% of Madecassoside has remarkable barrier-supporting, skin moisturizing, as well as redness & itching reducing properties in atopic or psoriasis-prone skin. In-vivo studies (made on real humans) by the manufacturer of Beta-Glucan show that the molecule improves skin barrier recovery used at 0.05%, while its moisturizing ability is as good as that of hyaluronic acid or even greater. Used at 0.1%, Beta-Glucan makes the skin firmer, smoother and more elastic.
Geek tip: use Stress Less with C-Glow in the morning for added smart-aging benefits. Cruelty-free | Vegan | Fragrance & Essential oil free | Gluten-free | Malassezia-safe | Pregnancy-safe

Even though Geek & Gorgeous is a young brand, if I want to go back to our beginnings, that would be more than 15 years ago. I was 17 when I developed horrible acne. For years, I tried out a bunch of things including tons of cosmetic products, facials, and visits to the dermatologist. What eventually helped was not some miracle cure but me starting to learn about skincare and clinically proven active ingredients. After years of randomly trying things and failing, I started to obsessively read and learn. I read all the books by Paula Begoun and then went on to read the famous Cosmetic Dermatology book by Dr. Leslie Baumann. I read more and more science based skincare blogs, forums, and eventually research studies. In 2019, I completed the SCS Diploma in Cosmetic Science issued by the Society of Cosmetic Chemists in the UK.
Combat combination skin woes with the lightweight, hydrating power of our 10% Niacinamide serum. This elegant formula combines the proven benefits of Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) with Zinc PCA and Sarcosine to effectively address concerns like enlarged pores, excess oil, and blemishes. Experience a refined complexion as this serum helps balance sebum production, minimize the appearance of pores, and promote a clearer, healthier-looking skin. Its lightweight texture absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue, making it the perfect addition to your daily skincare routine. Reveal a smoother, more radiant you with this targeted treatment for combination skin.
Reveal a radiant, healthy complexion with our new super-gentle exfoliant, specifically formulated for sensitive skin. This innovative blend combines the power of 4% PHA and BHA acids to delicately lift away dead skin cells, revealing smoother, brighter skin beneath. Unlike harsher exfoliants, this soothing formula works to protect and hydrate, minimizing irritation while promoting a healthy glow. Experience the transformative power of gentle exfoliation, leaving your skin feeling soft, renewed, and perfectly balanced. Expect a refined texture, minimized pores, and a luminous, even-toned complexion with continued use.
I like the consistency but I’m not sure I see a huge difference in my skin, the jury is still out on the one, maybe over time. It does feel soothing on my skin. I’m in my 50’s now and dry skin is an issue. This was recommended for its properties to help my skin health.

GLS : With the snow and ice understandable the parcel was delayed. Then it was left on my pillar overnight in the rain. My door wasn't too far in the driveway. Glad it was perfume and not something that could have been destroyed.
