Gesso
Niacinamide balm for barrier support
30ml
SEAL + STRENGTHEN + RENEW + Renew
The protective layer that locks in hydration and supports the barrier.
Gesso is where hydration is sealed and the skin barrier is supported.
If your skin feels dry, reactive, prone to visible redness, or loses moisture throughout the day, this is the layer that helps maintain hydration and strengthen the skin barrier.
Applied after Canvas and Composition or on its own, Gesso helps seal in hydration while continuing the gentle daily renewal that defines every layer of the Collage system.
Most heavy creams sit on the surface and feel greasy or clogging. Gesso works differently.
Unlike traditional balms, Gesso creates a breathable seal that helps reduce moisture loss while fully absorbing into the skin.
Powered by niacinamide, high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid, and botanicals, it helps support the skin barrier, maintain hydration, and keep skin feeling calm, balanced, and comfortable.
✔ Helps seal in hydration to reduce moisture loss throughout the day
✔ Supports the skin barrier to help reduce sensitivity and visible redness
✔ Supports smoother texture and a more even-looking complexion
✔ Helps maintain hydration without heaviness or buildup
✔ Can be used as a final layer or wherever skin needs extra support

DETAILS
Gesso is designed to help seal in hydration while supporting the skin barrier.
Using high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid, it helps maintain moisture at the skin's surface, reducing water loss and supporting lasting hydration.
Niacinamide helps strengthen the skin barrier, calm visible redness, and support a smoother, more even-looking complexion.
At the same time, white willow bark supports gentle daily renewal, helping maintain clarity and smooth texture without disrupting the skin.
Unlike traditional balms, Gesso absorbs into the skin while creating a breathable layer of support rather than a heavy surface coating.
As the final layer in the Collage system, Gesso helps lock in hydration while continuing the hydration-and-renewal approach that defines every layer.
The result is skin that feels more comfortable, resilient, and balanced over time.
HOW TO USE
Apply as the final layer after Canvas and Composition, or on its own to clean damp skin.
Press gently into the face and neck, morning and evening.
Gesso has a richer, balm texture and takes slightly longer to fully absorb. For those who prefer a day and night routine, it works well as a nighttime moisturizer—helping support overnight recovery.
Use all three layers for the most complete results, or adapt based on what your skin is calling for that day. Your skin’s needs can shift—and your routine can too.
Use daily as the final layer of the Collage system, or reach for it whenever your skin is calling for additional hydration, barrier support, or comfort.

HOW WE TESTED
Before launch, we tested each product individually and as part of the full Collage system on a larger-than-average, diverse group. Participants began with individual layers and incorporated additional layers over time—reflecting how the system is designed to be used in real life.
Products were used in everyday routines to ensure results reflected real skin, not controlled conditions.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU
Hydration that lasts longer without feeling heavy.
Skin that feels stronger, calmer, and less reactive.
Barrier support, hydration, and gentle daily renewal in one adaptable layer.
