Why We Love It

This clever formula calms and supports your skin - we love using it alongside actives like retinol or acids to help increase tolerance and repair.

Geek & Gorgeous Stress Less

Stress Less is designed to improve sensitive, damaged, irritated or dehydrated skin with the combination of Beta-Glucan & Madecassoside, two super-molecules with remarkable skin soothing, repairing and hydrating abilities.

Beta-Glucan is the most bioactive and valuable part of Oat with intensive skin repairing, skin smoothing & wound healing properties, while Madecassoside is one of the main active components of Centella Asiatica, a medicinal plant that has well-established soothing, wound healing and antioxidant activities.

This serum is especially beneficial for skin prone to dehydration, sensitivity, redness and irritation, or if you are using strong actives (e.g. anti-acne such as benzoyl peroxide or anti-aging such as vitamin a) known to dry the skin or compromise the skin barrier.

We use 0.2% Beta-Glucan and 0.3% Madecassoside in this formula. While these numbers might not sound high, when it comes to these two actives, they are. Studies use Madecassoside from as low as 0.05% (shown to inhibit UV induced melanin production) or at 0.1% combined with 5% Vitamin C for anti-aging benefits. 0.2% of Madecassoside has remarkable barrier-supporting, skin moisturizing, as well as redness & itching reducing properties in atopic or psoriasis-prone skin. In-vivo studies (made on real humans) by the manufacturer of Beta-Glucan show that the molecule improves skin barrier recovery used at 0.05%, while its moisturizing ability is as good as that of hyaluronic acid or even greater. Used at 0.1%, Beta-Glucan makes the skin firmer, smoother and more elastic.

Geek tip: use Stress Less with C-Glow in the morning for added smart-aging benefits.

THE FORMULA FOCUS INGREDIENTS

Madecassoside:

One of the main biologically active components of the famous medicinal plant Centella Asiatica, also known as Gotu Kola or Cica. It has well-established wound healing, skin soothing and antioxidant activities.

Beta-Glucan:

A supermolecule coming from Oat that has intensive skin-repairing and wound healing properties, while being a great skin soother and moisturizer, even showing some anti-aging benefits. It is a large polysaccharide (sugar) molecule, somewhat similar in structure to Hyaluronic Acid hence showing similar (or some claim even greater) skin hydrating properties. While the larger beta-glucan fractions stay on the top of the skin to hydrate & smooth it, the smaller fractions penetrate deeply (even into the dermis, the middle layer of the skin) showing promising anti-aging benefits.

Saccharide Isomerate:

A skin-idententical carbohydrate molecule that binds to the skin like magnet and keeps the skin hydrated longer than most other humectants.

Can’t live without it! This product is amazing, keeping my skin cool, calm n moist. I must have extra stock at home in case I run out… G&G is just the best!!

Robert M.

Fantastic product! I feel like it has really helped me with my dry, irritated skin.

Lucy K.

My new favourite serum! It is light, and absorbs quickly, but is SO hydrating. It soothes my skin even when I use exfoliators and retinols, but works really well in my morning routine with vitamin C as well. Strongly recommend!

Magdalena K.

The best hydrating serum. I felt different from the first used.

Kylie H.

Excellent serum, excellent price, very fast delivery, I highly recommend

Olivia A.

Perfect calming and hydrating serum! It has a gel texture which absorbs easily and plays well with all my other products. I love using it over exfoliating acids or under a retinoid at night. It buffers signs of irritation that I might otherwise get from these actives. Great price and lasts me a good 3 months with nightly use. A real winner!

Vivian H.

This serum has a gel like texture, absorbs well and doesn't pill when layered with other serums/SPF. I was after an affordable hydrating serum that wasn't a hyaluronic acid serum and had other benefits (i.e. reduce redness, repair sensitised skin)... this serum delivered. Love using this in the morning after Geek & Gorgeous C-Glow, as well as under a retinoid in the evening.

Sandra J.

Love love G&G products and this is on top of the list! It calms my reactive sensitive skin and helps it retain moisture… I just stock up for the year! As the creator suggested, the Stress Less works sinergistically with their C-Glow product (which is also my fave) and both have been working very well for me. I’m glowing!! Thanks Formula Skin for your amazing work and service!! Xx

Caitlin B.

I’ve already repurchased this 4 times and will be onto my 5th soon. I apply it onto damp skin over the Liquid Hydration and my skin feels supple, hydrated and calm. This is a must have product for my sensitive skin.

Agnieszka B.

This is a fantastic product, no wonder it's sold out! It's got a wonderful, silky texture and it's very efficient. But what is the most important, it really works! I keep it in the fridge ao it has got this extra cooling effect on my rosacnea prone skin and any time my skin feels irritated. Please restock soon so I can stock up.

Hannah R.

So lovely and hydrating

Emily B.

Light weight, feels nice.

Kerri-Ann B.

This serum is gel like in texture but absorbed quickly on application. It’s wonderful to use after waxing as it calms down the redness and is very soothing, I believe it would be of benefit to irritated skin whatever the cause. It’s a good product at a great price.

Tara H.

This is a clear light gel texture that melts into a more liquidy state once it warms up on your skin. This does a wonderful job of soothing my skin (which I bombard with actives) and appears to have reduced my surface redness. Very big fan, particularly for the price!
