Joy's Clear & Calm System
This is a comprehensive skincare system formulated for mature, sensitive, or redness-prone skin experiencing uneven tone, pigmentation, and dryness. Each product is chosen for its evidence-based, gentle yet effective action to calm inflammation, hydrate deeply, and improve skin clarity while protecting against further damage.
Calming Cleanse – A gentle, soap-free cleanser that removes impurities without stripping moisture, helping to preserve the skin’s protective barrier.
Hydraboost – A multi-weight hyaluronic acid serum delivering deep hydration, plumping fine lines, and supporting elasticity.
Enlighten – A pigment-correcting serum containing 4-n-butylresorcinol and niacinamide to reduce pigmentation, fade dark spots, and promote a more even complexion.
Zinc Shade – A broad-spectrum physical sunscreen with zinc oxide to protect against UV-induced redness, pigmentation, and premature ageing.
Gentle Glow PHA Serum – A breakthrough exfoliating serum with Polyhydroxy Acids (PHAs) that smooth, hydrate, and plump while being gentle enough for sensitive and rosacea-prone skin. PHAs also provide antioxidant benefits, help refine pores, reduce irritation from other actives, and support collagen formation.
Ultimate A – A retinaldehyde-based Vitamin A cream that encourages cell renewal, supports collagen production, and smooths fine lines while being gentle enough for sensitive skin.
With consistent use, this system calms visible redness, smooths texture, evens skin tone, and restores a comfortable, radiant complexion — even for those with reactive skin.

What's included
Evidence
Retinal
Also known as Vitamin A, Retinal is a next-generation retinoid used in skincare to help refine skin texture and improve the appearance of uneven tone and visible signs of ageing. It’s well tolerated and suitable for most skin types, including those that find traditional retinoids too harsh.
Niacinamide
Also known as Vitamin B3. Niacinamide is a well-studied ingredient that helps maintain a healthy skin barrier and supports an even-looking skin tone. It is well tolerated and suitable for all skin types, making it a versatile addition to many skincare formulations.
4-n-butylresorcinol
4-n-Butylresorcinol helps improve the appearance of pigmentation and supports an even-looking skin tone.
Skin pH
Your skin's pH level sits at 4.9 and it's important to use skincare products with a similar pH. Products with higher pH levels can damage the skin resulting in dryness, itchiness and sensitivity. Subsequently, skin conditions such as Rosacea, Eczema and Acne can flare up.
Emerging evidence
Hyaluronic Acid
The optimum size of Hyaluronic Acid for skincare is still a topic of research. Emerging evidence suggests that medium-size HA can support skin hydration and help improve the appearance of skin smoothness and plumpness.
Panthenol
Panthenol (provitamin B5) is a humectant - meaning it helps attract and hold moisture in the skin. Once absorbed, it’s converted to pantothenic acid, a naturally occurring compound in the skin that supports hydration and helps maintain a healthy skin barrier. It’s well tolerated and commonly used in products designed for sensitive skin.
