Stellar Restoration ™ Corrective Complex
About This Formula
Congested and reactive skin is rarely a single condition. It is most often the convergence of two — the surface clarity concerns of blemish-prone, hormonally reactive skin, and the structural concerns of skin that is simultaneously aging and under inflammatory stress.
Stellar Restoration was formulated as an elegant configuration for exactly this. A concentrated overnight serum that works in the sequence congested skin actually needs. Calm first — the inflammatory response addressed before anything else can work. Correct next — rebalancing excess sebum production, follicular congestion, and the post-inflammatory pigmentation that blemish activity leaves behind. Clarify last — supporting cellular turnover and surface renewal so the skin can emerge clearer, more even, and more resilient.
Vitamins A, B3, and C. Salicylic acid and ten anti-inflammatory botanicals. One elegant configuration — calibrated for the skin that needs all of it, delivered in a single evening application without the disruption of layering five separate active treatments.
Results are typically visible within four to six weeks of consistent use.
Esthetician developed. Made without parabens, fragrance, phthalates, or dyes. Sustainably manufactured in the United States.
The Formulation
Stellar Restoration works across three simultaneous dimensions — calm, correct, clarify — each addressed by a specific complex within the formula.
The Calm Complex
Ten botanical anti-inflammatory actives — Gotu Kola, Echinacea, Licorice Root, Milk Thistle, Arnica, Dandelion, Green Tea, White Tea, Ginkgo, and Rosehip Seed Oil — work together to calm the inflammatory response that drives blemish formation, reduce the post-inflammatory redness and pigmentation that follows, and support the skin's recovery between treatment cycles.
The Correct Complex
Niacinamide (B3) regulates sebum production, strengthens the barrier, and addresses post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Retinol (Vitamin A) promotes cellular turnover and supports the normalization of the follicular keratinization process that drives congestion formation. Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C) supports collagen synthesis and antioxidant defense alongside the correcting actives.
The Clarify Complex
Salicylic acid and willow bark extract address congestion at its source — penetrating the follicle to dissolve the sebum and dead cell accumulation that forms beneath the surface. Tea tree oil provides antimicrobial support. MSM supports collagen integrity and skin-softening activity.
Niacinamide (B3) — Regulates sebum, strengthens the barrier, and addresses post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Salicylic Acid and Willow Bark — Penetrate the follicle to address congestion at its source through complementary mechanisms.
Retinol (Vitamin A) — Promotes cellular turnover and supports the normalization of follicular keratinization that drives congestion formation.
Gotu Kola — Barrier repair, collagen synthesis, and anti-inflammatory support through the treatment cycle.
Echinacea — Immune-modulating botanical that supports the skin's own inflammatory regulation.
Licorice Root — Contains glabridin — one of the most effective botanical compounds available for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Milk Thistle — Silymarin-rich antioxidant and anti-inflammatory botanical that protects skin cells from oxidative damage.
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C) — Stable, non-irritating vitamin C that supports collagen synthesis and antioxidant defense.
MSM — Sulfur-based compound that supports collagen integrity and skin-softening activity.

How to Use
Gently pat 1–2 pumps to clean, dry skin. Allow complete absorption before applying moisturizer. For PM use only. Do not exceed three nights per week.
Follow with Immersion and Essentialist to seal barrier support over the treatment layer. Pairs well with Unseasonal Kind on non-treatment evenings to maintain lipid balance through the clarifying cycle.
Use SPF every morning without exception — retinol and salicylic acid both increase photosensitivity in treated skin.
Best suited for hormonally reactive, blemish-prone, and easily congested skin states. Results are typically visible within four to six weeks of consistent use.
For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Store in a cool place.
