Key actives
NiacinamideEarly in the list, ahead of the calming actives
Leads the formula's tone work ahead of guaiazulene and the centella extract that follow it.
GuaiazuleneEarly-mid list, the ingredient behind the Azulene name
A chamomile-derived blue-green compound, positioned soon after niacinamide as the formula's named calming ingredient.
Centella Asiatica ExtractMid-list
Whole-leaf centella extract adding calming support alongside the guaiazulene and bifida ferment lysate.
Bifida Ferment LysateMid-list, alongside the centella extract
A fermented ingredient supporting the formula's calming, sensitive-skin positioning.
AdenosineMid-list
A smoothing ingredient layered among the formula's calming actives.
ArbutinMid-to-back of the list
A brightening ingredient positioned alongside panthenol and ahead of the ceramide cluster.
Ceramide NP, Ceramide NS, Ceramide AS, Ceramide AP, Ceramide EOPTogether in the formula's back third, with phytosphingosine and cholesterol
Five named ceramides running together is an unusually complete barrier-lipid cluster for a sun-care formula, layered with the skin-identical lipids phytosphingosine and cholesterol.
GlutathioneNear the end of the list
An antioxidant added late in the list, alongside the ceramide cluster, for a brightening finishing note.
What is guaiazulene and what does the 'Azulene' name refer to?
Guaiazulene, a chamomile-derived blue-green compound, sits early in the list alongside niacinamide, and it is what the Azulene name in this product refers to.
How complete is the ceramide cluster in this formula?
Five named ceramides, NP, NS, AS, AP and EOP, run together with phytosphingosine and cholesterol, a more complete barrier-lipid cluster than most sun steps carry.
What does the pH 5.5 in the name mean?
It describes the formula's pH as matched to skin's own natural surface pH, part of the Mild positioning alongside the calming actives further down the list.

How it works
The 5.5 in the name marks this as pH-balanced to skin's own surface, and the ingredient list backs the Mild positioning: niacinamide leads early, guaiazulene, the chamomile-derived blue-green compound the Azulene name refers to, follows soon after, and centella asiatica extract and bifida ferment lysate sit mid-list for calming support. Further down the list carries an unusually complete ceramide cluster, ceramide NP, NS, AS, AP and EOP together with phytosphingosine and cholesterol, alongside arbutin and glutathione for brightening.
How to use
- As the last step of a morning routine, after moisturizer and before makeup, or worn alone. Smooth an even layer over the face and neck and let it set before continuing.
Worth knowing
- Alcohol and fragrance are both on the list; fragrance- or alcohol-sensitive skin should check the full ingredient panel above.

Centella can make your skin appear more hydrated, plumper and healthier.
Samantha Stein, PA-CDermatology physician assistant, Cleveland Clinic Arbutin works to inhibit tyrosinase, an enzyme present in melanocytes, the pigment-producing cells in the skin. This results in less pigment, dark spots and skin lightening.

Niacinamide helps reduce the appearance of pores in a few ways. By strengthening the skin barrier and improving elasticity, pores appear less noticeable and more even.
