LUCIDUS — Clear Complexion Collection
Aloe and citrus gel, bakuchiol, lingonberry. Cut the oil, even the tone, hold the day. Flesh, clear.
Which box is yours? Four questions, and Daddy picks it.
A clear complexion is a maintenance problem, not a miracle. Oil and buildup on the surface, uneven tone and old marks underneath, and a day that keeps undoing whatever progress the night made. LUCIDUS handles the three of them in order.
FLUX first — a clear gel of aloe and citrus that cuts oil and buildup and rinses without the tight, stripped-out finish that makes skin overproduce. BAKUCHI next: bakuchiol and organic rosehip, the retinol alternative that evens tone, softens the look of dark spots and blemishes, and encourages renewal without the irritation. HELIOS to close — the anti-age day cream, lingonberry and echinacea against the day, hyaluronic acid to hold.
Cut, even, hold. The routine for skin that's been fighting itself.

What is in it
- Plum
Organic plum fruit extract. Antioxidant and mildly conditioning — a lighter-touch active for a scalp that can't take much else.
- Aloe
Used as the water phase rather than as a claim. Hydrating and calming from the first ingredient down.
- Bakuchiol
Bakuchiol comes from the seeds of the babchi plant, Psoralea corylifolia, and is not a retinoid. It asks skin for the same things retinol does — smoother texture, softer fine lines, a more even tone — without the dryness and peeling that make people quit retinol. In a small twelve-week trial against retinol it matched it on lines and pigmentation, and skin tolerated it better. That is why it can go on every morning and every night, and why it is the active in BAKUCHI.
- Rosehip
Cold-pressed, high in linoleic acid. Works on texture and elasticity over weeks, not overnight.
- Jojoba
Technically a wax ester, and close enough to skin's own sebum that it absorbs instead of sitting on top. Conditions without the grease.
- Marine active
The marine active. A ferment of a deep-sea bacterium, used here for skin texture — the reason this cream reads as smoothing rather than only moisturising.
- 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.
- Lingonberry
Organic Nordic berry, antioxidant-rich. Sits with black currant and elderberry in the base doing environmental-defence work.
The ritual
Morning and evening. FLUX on damp skin, rinse. BAKUCHI, three drops pressed in. HELIOS over it in the morning; SOMNUS at night if you have it, otherwise BAKUCHI alone is enough. On ACIES nights, skip BAKUCHI.
Who it's for
Normal to oily and combination skin; anyone dealing with uneven tone, marks, or breakouts alongside the first fine lines.
Breakouts and first lines on the same face is a cruel joke, and most routines treat one and ignore the other. Cut the oil, even the tone, protect the day. On a peel night, skip the serum and leave it at that.
