Calm the storm and restore peace for skin that reflects a glass-like surface. 

Soothe the appearance of red, stressed skin with this ultra-calming and restorative moisturiser. As a Lake is specifically formulated to comfort the skin's surface while refining its texture for a serene, clear complexion. Powered by a precision blend of Azelaic and Salicylic acids, this cream gently exfoliates and clears pores, targeting surface impurities and visible congestion. Niacinamide works in harmony to enhance the appearance of skin elasticity and tone, while smoothing the look of fine lines and wrinkles. For an extra awakening boost, Caffeine helps to visibly de-puff and energise the skin’s appearance, while Glutathione offers superior antioxidant protection against environmental stressors. 

The skin is deeply nourished by a trio of botanical oils—Crambe Abyssinica, Blackcurrant Seed, and Sunflower Seed—and instantly comforted with Centella Asiatica (Cica) and Allantoin. These ingredients work together to support a healthy-looking skin barrier and overall skin vitality. 

Benefits

Surface Calming: Instantly comforts the appearance of red, stressed, or reactive skin.

Pore Refining: Gently exfoliates and clears surface impurities for a clearer-looking complexion.

Glass-Skin Finish: Smooths the skin’s surface to reflect light and create a radiant, "glass-like" glow.

Tone & Texture: Visibly improves the appearance of skin elasticity and uneven skin tone.

Deep Hydration: Provides lasting moisture and a visible "plumped" effect to the epidermis.

Pro tip

The "Wet Skin" Hack: High concentrations of Azelaic Acid can sometimes "pill" (form tiny balls) if applied to bone-dry skin. For a flawless finish, apply As a Lake to slightly damp skin. This helps the active ingredients glide on smoothly and absorb more effectively.

How to use

When: Use morning and night as your targeted moisturising treatment.

How: Apply 1–2 pumps to clean, moist skin.

The Routine: For the ultimate "calm and clear" routine, layer over a simple hydrating serum and follow with Front Cover SPF in the morning.

Safety Precautions:

  • Sun Safety: This product contains a BHA (Salicylic Acid) which may increase sun sensitivity. Use a broad-spectrum SPF daily.
  • External Use Only: Avoid direct contact with the eyes and lips.
  • Age Restriction: Not to be used for children under 3 years of age.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the stability of the acids.
  • Patch Test: Always recommend a 24-hour patch test before full application.
