Temperate Forest Restoring Complex

Description

Temperate Forest Restoring Complex by Live Botanical is a highly concentrated, milky gel designed to deeply hydrate and balance your skin's flora. This product aims to leave your skin looking clear and bouncy. It features snow mushroom and sea kelp to create a second-skin hydration barrier, along with whole plant extracts like licorice, peony, milk thistle, oats, green tea, and echinacea to soothe the skin, reduce the appearance of scarring, brighten, and protect against oxidative damage. Additionally, it contains probiotic derivatives and prebiotics to help manage congestion and improve moisture levels.

HOW TO USE IT

After cleansing and mists, apply 1-2 pumps to damp skin. Layer under your favorite moisturizer, oil, and/or balm to seal in all the hydration. It can be used day and night. For excess oil production, this can be used alone as your main moisture layer.
