FOR RETINOID + ACID USERS

Your tret is working.
Your barrier is paying for it.

Retinoids and acids can leave skin tight, flaky and reactive even when they’re doing exactly what you want them to.
The Everywhere Balm is the waterless layer that goes on last, helping reduce water loss and giving the barrier lipid-rich support without adding another step that needs to perform.

Skin in hard light

You know the cycle.

Night one: tret.
Night three: flaking.
Night five: back off.
Buffer it. Sandwich it. Drop the frequency. Skin settles. Ramp back up. Flake again.
Your active may be doing exactly what it is supposed to do.
The missing piece is often what happens after it.
“I use it over my regular skincare and it just helps me tolerate actives way better. I was always breaking out and my texture was rough. Now it’s hydrated and resilient and calm.”

The recovery layer.

Water-based skincare can hydrate beautifully. But when the barrier is under pressure, that water can still leave again.
The Everywhere Balm is anhydrous. No water in the tin.
Instead, it gives skin a lipid-rich final layer designed to help slow moisture loss and support the barrier while the rest of your routine gets on with its job.
HOLD ONTO WATER
Helps reduce transepidermal water loss when skin is struggling to keep moisture in.
SUPPORT THE BARRIER
Jojoba, squalane, shea, MCT and sunflower give skin lipid-rich support around actives, washing and everyday stress.
STAY OUT OF THE WAY
No added fragrance. No petroleum. Soft-matte. Designed to sit at the end of your routine, not become another complicated treatment step.
Your active does the work.
NOOKS does the aftercare.
The Everywhere Balm at night

Where it fits.

After everything.
ACTIVE NIGHTS
Cleanse. Use your hydrators or serums. Apply your retinoid or acid as directed.
Once everything has settled, warm a small amount of NOOKS between your fingers and press a thin layer over dry or reactive areas.
REST NIGHTS
Cleanse. Hydrate if you want to.
Finish with NOOKS.
WHEN THE FLAKES ARRIVE
Lips. Nostril edges. Smile lines. Cheeks. Brows. Wherever your routine has left skin asking for backup.
A little goes a long way.

And yes, there’s bakuchiol.

The Everywhere Balm contains bakuchiol at 0.5%.
Bakuchiol is not retinol. It is not a vitamin A derivative.
It sits inside the wider barrier-support formula rather than turning NOOKS into another retinoid step.
If your dermatologist or prescriber has given you a specific avoidance list, show them the full ingredients list.

“The product itself melts beautifully into the skin leaving a nourishing, matte feel. I wanted something that did some heavy lifting while I’m using tretinoin, and this has kept me moisturised, flake-free and without any angry reactions.”

“This stuff rocks. It’s been awesome for dry patches, for my KP (I use it alternating with an AHA/BHA treatment) and for locking in moisture after using tret at night.”
