- Your skin gets intensive moisture from a light serum.

Why does your skin go red and feel tight so easily?
Some skin simply has a short fuse. A cold wind, a hot shower, a heated room or a new cream, and the cheeks turn pink and start to feel tight and uncomfortable. If that sounds familiar, you probably read ingredient lists carefully and avoid anything heavily perfumed.
The Aloe Vera Express Skin Balance Serum is LR’s answer for skin that needs calm. It is fragrance-free and mild and feels pleasantly cooling. According to LR, it soothes irritated skin, reduces redness and the feeling of tightness, and moisturises intensively. LR also states that it supports cell renewal, strengthens the skin’s structure and barrier, and promotes collagen synthesis.
The formula is built on 15% aloe vera gel and fermented aloe, combined with red algae extract, organic mandarin peel extract and cherimoya fruit extract. Because a serum is light, you can wear your usual cream on top.

What do people ask about it?
Is there a fragrance-free serum for sensitive skin in the Aloe Via range?
Yes, this one. LR describes the Express Skin Balance Serum as fragrance-free, mild and pleasantly cooling.
Will it stop my skin from going red?
According to LR, it soothes irritated skin and reduces redness and tightness. It was tested on people with redness-prone or dry skin, according to the manufacturer. It is a cosmetic, though, so persistent redness should be checked by a doctor.
Can I use a cream on top?
Yes. A serum is light, so most people follow it with their usual moisturiser.

It contains 15% aloe vera gel plus fermented aloe vera gel.
