Re-Storation® Delicate Intensive Moisturizing
The gentle 'all-in-one' luxury skin cream formulated for sensitive complexions. This soothing, fragrance-free solution delivers exceptional care without alpha & beta hydroxy acids to repair, nourish, and protect delicate skin while minimizing visible signs of aging and environmental stress.

Result
1 ) Repair Without Reaction
The B-complex cellular instruction system: B2, B3, B9, B12 prompts the skin to resume its own repair cycle without the inflammatory response that acid-containing formulas can trigger in sensitized skin. Firmness returns. Fine lines soften. The skin rebuilds from within, on its own biological terms.
2 ) Barrier Integrity, Restored
Essential fatty acids, ceramides, and Vitamin K reconstruct the lipid architecture that sensitive skin most commonly loses, re-establishing the moisture barrier's capacity to retain hydration and regulate itself. The skin stops losing what it is given. Suppleness is sustained between applications, not just immediately after them.
3 ) Calm That Holds Under Pressure
Redness recedes. Reactivity diminishes. The botanical calming complex: chamomile, aloe, Provitamin B5 – addresses inflammation at the surface while the cellular work continues beneath it. The result is not temporary soothing. It is a measurable reduction in the skin's sensitivity threshold over time, skin that becomes progressively more resilient the longer the formula is used.
The Formulation
Developed by Dr. Jennifer Biglow – dermatologist and the originator of the all-in-one treatment category. Fragrance-free. A cult formula carried by Saks Fifth Avenue and Nordstrom, selected for the Oscars and Grammy gift suites, and trusted by the skin that cannot afford to compromise. Architected to penetrate beyond the stratum corneum to the dermal layer where collagen is synthesized, elastin is maintained, and the biological processes that determine how skin ages are actually governed. Most formulas stop at the surface. Re-Storation®was designed to begin where they end.
Application
Apply a small amount to the face and neck after cleansing and toning. Press gently into the skin, do not rub. Allow to absorb fully before applying SPF in the morning, or retiring in the evening. Morning and evening. Without exception. If you are transitioning from a compromised or reactive state, begin with the evening application only for the first three to five days, then introduce the morning application as the skin stabilizes.

Re-Storation® formula instructs skin to stay youthful.
Sensitive skin doesn't need less.
It needs more precision.
Most formulas for sensitive skin achieve gentleness by removing actives. What remains is safe and largely ineffective.
Delicate was formulated on a different premise: that sensitive skin is not fragile because it is weak, but because its barrier has been compromised. The answer is not subtraction. It is targeted replacement.
the principle
Skin doesn't age because it forgets how to be young.
It ages because the signals that keep it young grow quieter. Collagen production slows. Cell turnover stalls. The biological instructions that once maintained firmness, luminosity, and repair begin to fade – not disappear.
Re-Storation® delivers the precise inputs that resume that conversation. Skin that rebuilds from within. Visibly firmer, genuinely luminous.
Three Mechanisms.
One Formula.
Your skin already knows how to repair itself.Re-Storation® just gives it everything that it needs to do so.
MECHANISM 01
Surface Renewal
Triple-acid complex removes the barrier that prevents actives from reaching target depth. Glycolic, lactic, salicylic.
MECHANISM 02
Cellular instruction
B-complex vitamins (B2, B3, B9, B12) deliver biological signals that prompt periorbital skin cells to resume their own repair cycle. The formula doesn't fill the skin. It reminds it how to rebuild.
MECHANISM 03
Structural Defence
Vitamins A and E, grape seed, green tea, superoxide dismutase enzyme, and alpha lipoic acid form a full-spectrum antioxidant shield. The accumulated environmental damage that ages the eye area fastest is neutralised before it compounds.

Five simultaneous actions. One powerful formula.
ACTION 1 · REBUILD
Essential fatty acids and ceramides reconstruct the lipid barrier. The skin's first line of defense – restored.
ACTION 2 · INSTRUCT
B2, B3, B9, B12 deliver cellular-level signals. Skin resumes the repair processes that stress and time have silenced. No acids required.
ACTION 3 · HYDRATE
Hyaluronic acid draws moisture to depth and holds it. Not surface plumping – cellular replenishment. The same mechanism. The same depth.
ACTION 4 · DEFEND
Vitamins A and E, grape seed, green tea, superoxide dismutase enzyme. A full-spectrum antioxidant shield. What accumulates becomes what doesn't.
ACTION 5 · CALM
A botanical complex: chamomile, aloe, provitamin B5 – addresses the inflammatory response at the surface while the cellular work continues beneath it. Efficacy and calm, simultaneously delivered.
Deliberate Skin Instructions
Each compound in Re-Storation® was selected for what it instructs skin to do. Not what it adds to the surface, what it prompts the biology to resume on its own.
the formulation
Sensitive skin has been underserved by a market that equates gentleness with passivity. Delicate is the correction.
Formulating for sensitive skin was not a matter of removing what worked, it was a matter of identifying exactly what the skin was reacting to, and rebuilding the formula without it. Delicate is not a reduced version of Re-Storation®. It is a parallel precision, the same cellular intelligence, reformulated for the biology that demands the most care.

FAQ
What is the difference between Delicate and Re-Storation® Skin Treatment?
The two formulas share the same foundational philosophy: cellular repair, barrier nourishment, antioxidant defense, and B-complex instruction – and the same price point. The difference is a single but significant variable: the acid complex. Re-Storation®contains glycolic, lactic, and salicylic acids that accelerate surface renewal. Delicate omits this complex entirely. Every other mechanism of action remains intact. If your skin cannot currently tolerate acid exposure, Delicate delivers the same cellular intelligence without the compound that triggers the response.
Who should use Delicate instead of Re-Storation®?
Those with diagnosed sensitive skin conditions: rosacea, eczema, perioral dermatitis, or chronic reactivity. Those currently using prescription-strength retinoids, antibiotics, or other topicals that increase sensitivity. Those who have experienced irritation, redness, or barrier disruption with acid-containing formulas. And those whose skin is in a temporarily compromised state: post-procedure, post-reaction, or post-overtreatment – and needs to rebuild before it can receive a more active formula.
Is Delicate fragrance-free?
Yes. Entirely. Fragrance, including naturally derived fragrance, is among the most common and least discussed irritants for sensitive skin. Its absence from this formula is not a compromise in elegance. It is a clinical decision that makes the formula safe for the skin types that need it most.
Can I transition from Delicate to Re-Storation® over time?
Yes, and for many users, Delicate is the beginning of that transition. As barrier integrity rebuilds and the skin's tolerance improves, Re-Storation®can be introduced gradually: beginning with the evening application two to three times per week before moving to twice-daily use. Your dermatologist or PA can advise on the appropriate timing relative to your skin's condition.
How long before I see results?
Calming and hydration are immediate. The botanical complex reduces surface reactivity from the first application, and the barrier-restoration system begins reinforcing moisture retention within the first week. Structural improvements: firmness, elasticity, visible fine line reduction – develop over four to six weeks of consistent twice-daily use. Sensitive skin responds cumulatively; the longer the formula is used, the more resilient the skin becomes.
Can Delicate be used alongside prescription topicals?
In most cases, yes – but sequencing matters. Apply prescription topicals as directed by your physician, then follow with Delicate as the final moisturizing step. The barrier-restoration complex can help mitigate the dryness and reactivity that prescription actives commonly cause. If you are unsure about compatibility with a specific medication, consult your dermatologist before layering.
