We took things outuntil only the fivethat work were left.

01
Ceramides to rebuild, peptides to firm, niacinamide to settle redness, squalane to hold water, glycerin to keep it there. Nothing added to pad the label, nothing added to smell expensive.
02
We ran a 12-week trial with 412 volunteers across six skin types before we sold a single jar. Barrier function, water loss and redness were measured at every visit. The numbers on this page are theirs.
03
A bottle can carry thirty ingredients at doses too low to matter. We would rather carry five at doses that show up in a measurement, and spend the rest of the budget on how they are delivered.
04
Most skincare is abandoned half-used. Ours is designed to be emptied: one step, one texture, refillable, and priced so that repurchasing is not a decision you have to justify.

Take a pea-sized amount and warm it between your fingertips for a few seconds. It turns from balm to fluid.

Sweep upward and outward across the face and neck. No tugging, no massage routine, no second layer.

Rest your palms against the skin for ten seconds. Warmth helps the lipids sink rather than sit.
Five actives, each at a dose the published research actually used. No botanical extract added because it reads well on a label, no fragrance, nothing whose job is to make the ingredient list longer.

The five
A hard ceiling, not a guideline. If something new goes in, something old has to earn its way out first.
Twelve weeks, 412 volunteers, six skin types. Independent assessors, and every figure published as recorded.
Formulated by two practising dermatologists who were tired of undoing the damage done by other people’s routines.
There is a reason your skin got worse the more you bought. Most brands add ingredients hoping a few will land, and the barrier spends its energy coping with the traffic instead of repairing itself.


We cut until five were left, each chosen for measurable effect on the barrier rather than for how it reads. The result is skin in genuinely better condition, not skin that is being temporarily covered.

Twelve weeks, 412 volunteers, six skin types, assessed by people with no stake in the outcome. Fewer actives at honest concentrations beat the longer routines they replaced on barrier function, water loss and redness.

improvement in barrier resilience by week twelve, which is the difference between skin that reacts and skin that copes.

“I fly most weeks and my skin used to land angrier than I did. The travel jar clears security and actually holds up, which is more than I can say for everything else I have carried.”

One jar, five actives, one step. It replaces the serum, the essence, the day cream and the night cream, because in a twelve-week trial it outperformed the routines it replaced. Refillable glass. No fragrance. Nothing in it that is there to be read rather than used.

Free worldwide shipping. Made in Switzerland. Thirty days to change your mind.
For most people, yes. Sensitivity and barrier damage are now widely understood to be over-treatment problems rather than under-treatment ones. Removing steps gives the barrier room to re-regulate. In our trial, 89% of participants saw measurable improvement within the first month of simplifying.
Hydration and surface texture usually shift in the first 7 to 10 days. Tone, resilience and fine lines take longer, typically showing around day 28, which is roughly one full skin renewal cycle.
Skin type is a less useful category than the industry suggests. Barrier function, water retention and inflammatory response work the same way in all of them. Nuvéa supports those, and what changes between people is how much you use and how often, not what you use.
Start by cutting anything with fragrance, anything you are using twice a day out of habit, and any second moisturiser. Keep a gentle cleanser and sunscreen. Most people end up at three products and stay there.
The glass vessel is permanent. When you reach the bottom, lift out the inner pod and click a new one in. It takes about five seconds and removes 94% of the packaging weight from every reorder.
The 20 ml travel size is two weeks of use and carries the same 30-day guarantee as the full size. If it is not for you, tell us and we will refund it, jar returned or not.
