FAQs
Can Transcendent The Lotion replace both my serum and moisturizer?
It depends on what you seek. If you want hydration and calming support, yes—it can be enough on its own. For targeted age-support or brightening, pair it with one of our serums, then finish with Transcendent The Lotion for lightweight, comfortable moisture.
Can I use it on both face and body?
Yes. Use it as your daily face moisturizer and apply it all over the body wherever you want lightweight, comfortable nourishment.
Will it clog pores?
No. It’s formulated to feel feather-light and absorb quickly. It is unlikely to feel heavy or clog pores.
Can I layer it with an oil?
Yes. Apply Transcendent The Lotion first, then seal with a few drops of your favorite oil in our collection for extra comfort.
Does it work under sunscreen and makeup?
Yes. Use a thin layer, press it in, and allow a minute to settle before applying sunscreen or our makeup.
Is it suitable after sun exposure or when skin feels sensitized?
Many people reach for it when skin feels dry or sensitized because it focuses on hydration and comfort. If your skin is highly reactive, patch test first.
How should I store it?
For best freshness, keep it in a cool, dry place. For an even more soothing, cooling feel on skin, store it in the fridge.
Can I use it to remove makeup?
Absolutely. Apply a small amount to a cotton pad and sweep gently over the skin to remove makeup, including eye makeup.
