Gesso
Niacinamide Balm
30ml
SEAL + STRENGTHEN
This no-wax balm seals in hydration while strengthening the skin barrier.
If your skin feels dry, reactive, prone to redness, or loses moisture throughout the day, this is the layer that helps maintain hydration and protect against moisture loss.
It supports lasting moisture while continuing gentle daily renewal—helping smooth texture, support even tone, and keep skin comfortable and balanced.
Most heavy creams sit on the surface and feel greasy or clogging. Gesso works differently.
Unlike more reactive ingredients like vitamin C, niacinamide (vitamin B3) works with the skin—helping strengthen the barrier, reduce moisture loss, calm visible redness, and support a more even, brighter-looking tone over time.
It creates a breathable seal that helps retain moisture while fully absorbing—so your skin feels nourished, protected, and supported without excess heaviness.
✔ Helps seal in hydration to reduce moisture loss throughout the day
✔ Strengthens the skin barrier to reduce sensitivity and visible redness
✔ Supports smoother texture and a more even, brighter-looking tone
✔ Helps maintain hydration without heaviness or buildup
✔ Can be used as a final layer or targeted where skin needs extra support

DETAILS
Gesso is designed to support hydration while strengthening the skin barrier.
Using high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid, it helps maintain moisture at the surface—reducing water loss and supporting long-lasting hydration.
Niacinamide helps seal in moisture, strengthen the skin barrier, and support overall skin function. It also helps brighten the look of the skin, improving uneven tone and redness for a clearer, more even-looking complexion.
This combination helps skin retain hydration more effectively, reducing dryness and sensitivity without needing heavier products.
Unlike traditional balms, Gesso absorbs after application, creating a breathable, moisture-sealing layer.
Gentle daily renewal continues within the formula, helping maintain smooth texture and clarity without disrupting the skin.
Formulated with science-backed actives and time-proven botanicals, including hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and white willow bark, this approach supports consistent, long-term skin health.
HOW TO USE
Apply as the final layer after Canvas and Composition, or on its own to clean 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.
As part of an adaptable system, Gesso can be used when your skin needs additional support—whether daily or as needed.

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.

Hydration that lasts longer without feeling heavy.
Skin that feels stronger, calmer, and less reactive.
A final layer that supports your skin while maintaining balance over time.
