In depth
What it does
A water-soluble, chemically modified derivative of the flavonoid rutin, used in cosmetics for its vasoprotective, antioxidant, and soothing properties. As an antioxidant ingredient, it is particularly valued for vasoprotective — strengthens capillary walls and reduces redness and puffiness, antioxidant protection against free-radical damage, and anti-inflammatory, soothing effect on irritated skin.
Skin type guide
Suitable for all skin types. Antioxidants are especially valuable for skin exposed to daily UV and environmental stressors — which is essentially everyone.
How to use it
Works particularly well in an AM routine, where its antioxidant protection pairs naturally with daily SPF. Apply after cleansing and toning, before moisturiser and sunscreen.
