- Calendula and allantoin to soothe and comfort
- Squalane replenishes moisture for a smooth finish
- Vegan and cruelty free, made in Cork
A damaged barrier is the thing behind most of what people call sensitive skin: the tightness, the redness, the stinging when you put anything on. Water escapes faster than the skin can replace it. Fixing that is less about adding moisture and more about mending what holds it.
The active worth knowing here is Physavie, an extract of Physalis Angulata, which helps support the skin's natural barrier function for a more resilient, balanced complexion. Around it, allantoin and calendula settle irritation, green tea brings gentle antioxidant support, and squalane and sunflower seed oil do the moisture work without leaving a film.
Use it as your daily moisturiser, as a night cream, or as a comforting follow-up after an AHA treatment such as the Resurface mask.
How to use
Use morning or night, applying a small amount to the face and neck. In the daytime, follow with SPF. At night, use it as the last step in your routine.

Why We Love This Brand
Doctrine is a small Irish skincare brand out of Cork, formulated in-house by co-founder and cosmetic chemist Tracey Ryan. The formulations are led by what the ingredients actually do rather than what sells, and the range is built to work together rather than as a set of unrelated products.
