CENSOR II — Blemish Care Moisturiser
Three actives. Forty-three ingredients in all.
Not sure it's right for your skin? Four questions — Daddy will tell you.
The mistake blemish-prone skin makes is skipping the moisturiser. Skin that's been cleansed and left dry reads the dryness as an emergency and answers with oil, and the cycle starts over by afternoon. CENSOR II is the step that ends it.
A lightweight cream that hydrates, soothes and gets out of the way. Hyaluronic acid and natural polysaccharides hold moisture; organic argan oil and sodium PCA keep the skin soft without weight; zinc PCA on the side of balance. The same trio as the wash — organic mate leaf, Iceland moss, juniper callus — plus vitamin C in an antioxidant complex that calms and protects while the surface clears. Kaolin and silica keep the finish matte. It absorbs fast, never clogs, and leaves the skin balanced, comfortable and refreshed. Teenage skin, adult skin, same rules.
Wash, then this. Every time. That's the whole discipline.
What it does
- Lightweight hydration for blemish-prone skin — no clogging, no heaviness
- Soothes and calms; supports a smoother, clearer-looking complexion
- Maintains optimal moisture; balances
- Antioxidant protection with vitamin C, mate leaf, Iceland moss, juniper
- Fast-absorbing, matte-comfortable finish
What is in it
- Sodium PCA
Part of skin's own natural moisturising factor. Replaces what washing takes out, and keeps the hydration from evaporating off again.
- Hyaluronic acid
Humectant; pulls water into the upper layers and holds it there, so skin reads plump rather than merely damp. Used here at multiple molecular weights so it works at more than one depth.
- Mate leaf
Organic mate leaf extract. A caffeine-adjacent plant, reached for here as an antioxidant with a mild astringent effect on blemish-prone skin.
- Iceland moss
Iceland moss extract. A lichen, not a moss — soothing and film-forming, calming skin that a blemish treatment might otherwise irritate.
- Juniper
Juniper callus extract. Astringent and clarifying — the third leg of this formula's blemish-care approach, alongside mate leaf and Iceland moss.
How to use
Morning and evening, on clean skin. A pea-sized amount on face and neck, massaged gently until absorbed. After CENSOR, then SICCUS. Works over PREBIOTIC ONE on days the skin is reactive; on ACIES or CORTEX nights, it goes on last and heavier. If skin runs dry rather than oily, BASIS is the better partner.
The mistake is skipping moisturiser because the skin is oily. Dry skin makes more oil, not less. This is the step that ends the cycle — a thin layer, morning and night, then get out of its way.
