Our gel serum is a hydrating, soothing and plumping botanical powerhouse featuring Helichrysum, Edelweiss, Green Tea, and Sodium PCA.

EQUINOX, formerly known as Everlasting, is a sophisticated botanical gel serum meticulously formulated to deliver comprehensive hydration while addressing multiple skin concerns. This lightweight, fast-absorbing formula represents a breakthrough in water-based skincare, combining potent plant extracts with advanced humectants to create a multifunctional treatment suitable for all skin types, including the most sensitive. The serum features a carefully calibrated pH of 5, which perfectly complements the skin's natural acid mantle, ensuring optimal compatibility and minimizing potential for irritation.

At the heart of EQUINOX is a powerful botanical complex centered around Helichrysum, an exceptional Mediterranean flowering plant renowned for its healing properties. The formula incorporates both Helichrysum italicum flower water and Helichrysum stoechas extract to maximize the plant's soothing, anti-inflammatory benefits while helping to fade discoloration and support the skin's natural healing processes. This dual-action Helichrysum approach is complemented by Alpine-sourced Edelweiss extract, a resilient plant that thrives in harsh mountain environments and transfers its protective qualities to the skin, reinforcing barrier function while shielding against urban pollutants.

EQUINOX further distinguishes itself with a comprehensive hydration strategy that combines traditional botanical waters from chamomile and rose with advanced humectants including Sodium PCA, glycerin, and trehalose. This multilayered approach ensures immediate moisture delivery alongside sustained hydration that lasts throughout the day. The addition of panthenol (vitamin B5) and allantoin enhances the formula's soothing capabilities while promoting cellular repair and regeneration. Antioxidant protection comes from green tea leaf extract and spirulina, which neutralize free radicals while supporting the skin's resilience against environmental stressors.

The serum's innovative texture—a translucent blue gel that melts effortlessly into the skin—provides an immediate cooling sensation upon application that feels particularly refreshing for irritated or overheated skin. Despite its lightweight consistency, EQUINOX delivers substantial results, plumping fine lines, reducing redness, and creating a smooth, hydrated canvas for subsequent skincare products or makeup. The serum's versatility extends to its use around the delicate eye and lip areas, making it a truly comprehensive treatment that simplifies multi-step routines without compromising efficacy. Packaged in protective violet black Miron glass that preserves the formula's integrity, EQUINOX represents both skincare excellence and environmental responsibility.

Experience this Gel

  • What it's like

    EQUINOX delights the senses with its distinctive blue gel texture that feels instantly cooling and refreshing as it glides over the skin, delivering an immediate surge of hydration that absorbs within seconds without any tacky residue. The subtle yet invigorating scent profile—a harmonious blend of fresh grassy notes with delicate floral undertones—creates a brief aromatic interlude during application before dissipating completely. Upon absorption, the skin feels noticeably plumper and more resilient with a dewy finish that looks naturally radiant, creating the perfect canvas for makeup or an ideal hydration layer under facial oils.

  • In your routine

    Apply EQUINOX to freshly cleansed, slightly damp skin both morning and evening, dispensing one to two pumps onto fingertips and pressing gently into the face, neck, and décolletage. For morning use, layer EQUINOX beneath your moisturizer and sunscreen to create a protective hydration barrier, or mix a pump with your foundation for added dewiness. In your evening routine, EQUINOX serves as the perfect companion to active treatments—apply before retinol products to buffer potential irritation, or use after acid exfoliants to calm and rehydrate skin; for an intensive overnight treatment, apply EQUINOX followed by facial oil to create a moisture-locking sleep mask.

  • Why you need it

    EQUINOX solves the paradox that plagues most skincare routines—the challenge of achieving profound hydration without heaviness, meaningful results without irritation, and simplicity without compromise. Unlike traditional water-based serums that deliver temporary surface hydration, EQUINOX works at multiple skin levels to actually improve barrier function while providing immediate relief to stressed complexions. The versatile formula serves as both a preventative and corrective treatment—defending against environmental aggressors while simultaneously repairing existing damage—making it essential for any skincare regimen regardless of skin concern. Whether you're dealing with seasonal sensitivity, persistent dehydration, or simply seeking the perfect lightweight hydrator that plays well with every other product in your arsenal, EQUINOX delivers exceptional performance in a single step.

Key Ingredients in EQUINOX Calm + Smooth Gel

Edelweiss (Leontopodium Alpinum) Extract

Harvested from the resilient alpine flower that thrives in harsh mountain conditions, edelweiss extract is packed with powerful antioxidants that help protect your skin from environmental damage. This remarkable botanical contains natural compounds that help strengthen your skin's barrier, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and promote collagen production. Its ability to survive extreme conditions translates into exceptional protective benefits for your skin.

Sodium PCA

A naturally occurring component in your skin derived from amino acids, sodium PCA is one of skincare's most effective humectants—attracting and binding moisture to keep skin hydrated throughout the day. This water-soluble ingredient can hold several times its weight in water, providing lasting hydration without heaviness or greasiness. Sodium PCA helps maintain your skin's natural moisturizing factor (NMF) that depletes with age and environmental exposure. By replenishing moisture levels and supporting your skin's barrier function, it leaves even the driest complexions feeling soft, smooth, and comfortable with a healthy, dewy finish.

Panthenol (vitamin B5)

Panthenol, a derivative of vitamin B5, is a moisture-binding ingredient derived from plants. When applied to skin, it converts to pantothenic acid, which deeply hydrates by attracting and holding water while calming irritation and supporting the skin's natural barrier function. Beyond its skin benefits, panthenol also strengthens hair strands and soothes the scalp, making it an ideal ingredient for both facial products and hair care. Its ability to provide lightweight yet effective hydration makes it suitable for all skin types, even the most sensitive.
