345 Relief Cream
Named for what it actually contains: three blemish-care ingredients, four nourishing, five soothing. Ceramides, niacinamide, panthenol, resveratrol, centella. A gel-cream that strengthens without weighing skin down. For skin recovering from breakouts, stress, or seasonal change.

Aesu’s POV
True Benefit — The "345" concept is unusually honest: 3 blemish-care ingredients (niacinamide, hibiscus flower, resveratrol), 4 nourishing (beta-glucan, hydrolyzed HA, evening primrose, corallina), 5 soothing (centella, gardenia, houttuynia, lavender flower, ceramide NP). Niacinamide sits high enough on the INCI to be at a meaningful level (likely 2–3%), panthenol is dosed well, and the formula includes real supporting actives — ceramide NP, hydrogenated lecithin (skin-identical lipid), madecassoside, tea tree leaf water, resveratrol.
What it does
The real benefit
Strengthens and soothes compromised skin. Ceramide NP, beta-glucan rebuild the barrier while niacinamide fades post-acne marks and panthenol calms inflammation. The gel-cream texture is light but comforting — suitable for combination and oily skin that needs barrier support without heaviness. Works across seasons and fits under SPF or makeup without pilling.
What it does not
The honest limits
Does not treat active acne — it's post-acne care, not a breakout treatment. Does not replace a richer occlusive for severely dry or eczema-prone skin in deep winter; the silicone-based texture prioritizes comfort over long-term moisture sealing. The lavender extract may not suit the most reactive skin, despite the "for sensitive skin" claim.
Ritual
How to use
Apply AM and PM as the last moisturizing step, after serums. A small amount goes a long way on this formula — start with a pea-sized amount and add more if needed. Can be used alongside active ingredients (AHA, retinol, niacinamide) as the final protective layer. Safe to use daily with no adaptation period needed.
