Hydro Balancing Gel-Cream

Gel, where cream is too much.

A lightweight gel-cream for makeup prep — the texture answer for anyone whose face rejects a cream under coverage.

$30 USD
Alone, or attached

It wears alone.

It is also step one of La Routine — the ground the brow pomade and the lip oil are applied over.

One tube, one size, no shade. Read the ingredient line on this page if you avoid alcohol: alcohol denat. sits third on it.

Why the house keeps it

This is the prep step La Routine opens on. It is a gel rather than a cream because the layer under coverage has to be finished before the coverage arrives, and a cream is not always finished.

Kept as distinct soothing, oil-free, face-and-body cream, and gel-texture prep roles rather than four interchangeable moisturizers.

The letter

The house writes.
Rarely, and only when something changed.

A letter when an object joins the catalogue, when one leaves it, or when a price moves — and nothing in between. What we know and what we do not is written the same way here as it is on the product pages.
