WHAT IT HELPS IMPROVE

Healthy skin begins with a healthy barrier, but healthy skin also depends on healthy renewal.

THE FOUNDATION SYSTEM is a barrier-first recovery ritual designed for dry, sensitive, reactive, treatment-stressed, and environmentally challenged skin. Together, these three formulations gently cleanse without stripping, replenish hydration, strengthen the skin barrier, and support controlled surface renewal to restore lasting comfort, resilience, and a healthier-looking complexion before, during, and after active skincare treatments.

While the skin naturally renews itself, this process slows with age, chronic dryness, environmental stress, and barrier dysfunction. Controlled exfoliation helps remove accumulated dead skin cells, encourages healthier epidermal turnover, improves skin texture and radiance, and allows subsequent skincare to penetrate more effectively.

Approximately 8 weeks of use when used as directed.

OUR APPROACH

Recovery begins before irritation appears.

THE FOUNDATION SYSTEM combines gentle cleansing, controlled renewal, and advanced barrier support to create the ideal biological foundation for healthier-looking skin.

PASTÈSE™ gently dissolves sunscreen, makeup, excess oil, and daily impurities while respecting the skin barrier and preparing the skin to receive the treatments that follow.

BUFFÈRE™ replenishes hydration while strengthening the skin and scalp barrier before, during, and after retinoids, exfoliating acids, pigment-correcting treatments, acne therapies, minoxidil, hair coloring, bleaching, and professional chemical salon services.

LISSE™ delivers controlled overnight exfoliation using mandelic acid, lactic acid, willow bark, N-acetyl glucosamine, botanical ferments, and barrier-supportive lipids to encourage healthy surface renewal while maintaining skin comfort. By removing accumulated surface cells, it helps smooth texture, improve visible radiance, and enhance the performance of the skincare that follows.

Together, they create a complete recovery system that supports cleansing, renewal, and barrier resilience so skin remains comfortable, healthier-looking, and better prepared for everyday environmental and treatment-related stress.

THE PROOF

Each formulation supports a different stage of skin recovery.

PASTÈSE™ uses a soap-free syndet cleansing system to remove sunscreen, makeup, and daily impurities while preserving the skin’s natural barrier, creating the ideal biological foundation for every treatment that follows.

BUFFÈRE™ combines 7% Ectoin, jojoba phospholipids, ceramides, cholesterol, panthenol, sodium PCA, and advanced humectants to strengthen the skin and scalp barrier while improving hydration, resilience, and treatment tolerability.

LISSE™ combines alpha hydroxy acids, willow bark, N-acetyl glucosamine, panthenol, barrier lipids, and botanical ferments to support controlled epidermal renewal while helping maintain hydration and barrier integrity. Research has shown that regular, gentle exfoliation promotes healthy desquamation, improves skin texture, and increases the effectiveness of topical skincare by reducing the buildup of dead surface cells.

Together, they address the biological foundations of healthier-looking skin: effective cleansing, healthy cell turnover, barrier integrity, and lasting hydration.

How To Use

Begin with PASTÈSE™, massaging onto dry skin before adding lukewarm water to transform the cleansing pâte into a silky cleansing milk. Rinse thoroughly or remove with a soft, damp cleansing cloth.

Apply BUFFÈRE™ morning and evening to clean skin or scalp wherever additional barrier support is needed. Wear it alone as a daily recovery concentrate, layer beneath active skincare, or apply after hair coloring and professional chemical salon services to help comfort treatment-stressed skin and scalp.

Apply LISSE™ one to three evenings per week after cleansing, gradually increasing frequency as tolerated. Follow with your preferred moisturizer or lipid treatment if additional nourishment is desired.
