The formula centers on beta-glucan, an oat-derived humectant that helps attract and hold moisture, and madecassoside, a centella asiatica derivative associated with skin-soothing properties. Free of fragrance and essential oils, it layers smoothly under emulsions and creams and is safe for morning or evening routines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow will Stress Less fit into my daily skincare routine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUse Stress Less after cleansing and any water-based treatments (like toners or essences) and before heavier creams and sunscreens. Its thin, gel-like texture absorbs quickly without leaving tackiness, so it works well under makeup and protective moisturizers.
