Why It’s Special
Hydrates without heaviness
This lightweight, invisible daily moisturizer has a serum-like texture that absorbs fast and delivers long-lasting hydration. The finishing touch: a light, natural aroma, with hints of real lavender and rosemary.
Actively soothes & firms
Actives like Aloe and Willow Bark nourish and condition skin, for that brightening and tightening effect. It leaves skin feeling clear and firm, with a smooth, shine-free finish.
Picky skin-approved
We kept it simple, with gentle yet effective ingredients that you can trust. It’s a great choice for folks with combination, oily, or acne-prone skin (and any skin that likes a lighter touch).
Layers nicely
Weave it into your routine anywhere you like. It makes for a perfectly smooth, non-pilling primer under makeup and SPF, a soothing after-sun step, even a refreshing post-shave balm.
Refreshingly Different
Nothing to hide here. Just naturally awesome ingredients that help you achieve your healthiest, happiest skin.

Q: How does this product differ from Fortifying Face Balm?
A: The formula is exactly the same! The only thing that’s new is the name, and the glass packaging.
Q: How and when do I use this product?
A: After cleansing and toning (and applying any serums you may use), we recommend applying Fortifying Gel Moisturizer to lock in hydration and calm the skin without clogging pores or creating shine. As a final step, you can apply a daily sunscreen (we’re partial to our Force Field SPF 30!), especially if you are heading outside.
Pro tip: Apply post-shave and post-sun for extra soothing moisture.
Q: Is this the right moisturizer for me?
A: This product works great for sensitive, oily, and acne-prone skin types (or any skin that likes a light touch). If you have dry skin, or you’re looking for a thicker moisturizer to incorporate into your routine, you may want to check out our Golden Hour Recovery Cream.
A: What is the aroma?
Q: An enticing herbal blend infused with Lavender, Lime, Spearmint, and Rosemary.
