Strip twice a week.
Without your face paying for it — The Reset

Without actives, without a sting, and without the tight, raw feeling that makes most men quit strips by week three.

  • Peel a strip and put your face back together in the same minute.
  • Still doing this in month three, because your skin never gave you a reason to quit.
  • Panthenol and hyaluronic acid are hydrators. That is the entire claim.
  • No actives, so there is nothing to react to on skin that has just been stripped.

Before you ask

Because it is what lets you keep using the thing that does. If you only buy one of the two, buy The Lift.

Yes, as a light moisturiser. You are just not buying it for the reason we made it.

No high-comedogenic oils and no actives to react to. It is a deliberately boring formula.

No, and we will not describe it as one. It is a recovery step.

Used as intended — after each strip, twice a week — well beyond the strips in a pack of The Lift.

Post-strip recovery

The dark mark isn't bad luck. It's a chemical reaction — and it has an off switch.

Let us be clear about what this is

This is not a blackhead product. Vitamin B5 and hyaluronic acid are hydrators — they do nothing to sebum sitting in a follicle, and any brand telling you a hydrator clears pores is selling you the wrong jar.

It is the recovery half of a two-step routine, and it exists so the first half is something your skin will tolerate twice a week for months.

Why the second step matters

  • Peeling is a mechanical event It lifts the plug, and it takes moisture and a little comfort with it. That is why skin can feel tight and look pink for an hour afterwards.
  • Vitamin B5 (panthenol) Supports the look of a calm, comfortable surface after something abrasive has happened to it.
  • Hyaluronic acid Holds water in the skin, which is exactly what the strip just took away.
  • No waiting period Nothing to build up to, nothing to titrate. Use it immediately after peeling, or any night the T-zone feels tight.

Most routines fail on the second step, not the first. The strip is the easy sell; this is the one that decides whether you are still doing it in month three.

What it will not do

It will not clear a pore, reduce congestion, or change your sebum output. It is a hydrator and it is priced like one — the cheapest cream in the range, deliberately.

If congestion is the problem, The Lift is the product that addresses it. This is what makes The Lift sustainable.

Cosmetic product. A hydrator, not a congestion treatment. Full INCI to follow from the supplier specification.

What it is made of

Two hydrators. That is the whole claim

This is the step that goes on after a strip. It is not a blackhead product and it does not pretend to be one — it exists so the routine is repeatable.

The build

  • Panthenol (vitamin B5)Barrier support

    Provitamin B5, which skin converts to pantothenic acid. It draws and holds water in the upper layers and supports the lipid barrier that keeps it there. In dermatological use on skin that has just been through something since the 1940s.

  • Hyaluronic acidWater, held

    A humectant that occurs naturally in skin and binds a great deal of water relative to its mass. It holds moisture at the surface. That is all it does, and anything claiming more is stretching.

  • Emollient baseThe vehicle

    Chosen to sit on skin that has just been stripped without occluding a pore, and to have nothing in it that a freshly-stripped surface could react to.

How it works on skin

  1. 01
    Straight after a strip, same minute

    The window that matters is immediately afterwards, not that evening.

  2. 02
    It replaces the water the strip took

    Peeling a strip takes surface lipid and water with it, along with the plug.

  3. 03
    It supports the barrier while it settles

    Which is the difference between skin that feels tight for an hour and skin that does not.

  4. 04
    Daily, if you want it

    There are no actives in it, so there is nothing to build up to and nothing to cycle off.

No acids, no retinoid, no exfoliant. It does not act on the pore, and it is not meant to.

Before you ask

The questions
worth answering.

No, and we are not going to imply otherwise. B5 and hyaluronic acid are hydrators. The Lift is the product that deals with congestion.

Not strictly, but it is the reason most people can keep using strips twice a week without their skin objecting.

Yes. There is nothing in it that requires a tolerance period, and it works fine across the whole T-zone rather than just the nose.

It is built for skin that already runs oily — which is most skin that gets blackheads in the first place.

Yes. Hydrators pair well with retinoids and often make them more tolerable.

Because it is what lets you keep using the thing that does. Stripping a pore twice a week without putting anything back is why most people give up in a fortnight. If you only ever buy one of the two, buy The Lift.

Yes, as a light moisturiser. You are just not buying it for the reason we made it.

There are no oils high on the comedogenic scale in it and no actives to react to. It is a deliberately boring formula.
