Claims:
Capillary Calming Serum soothes and calms skin with Canadian willowherb, gotu kola and arnica, while totarol, spin trap, tocotrienols, and blue algae provide ultimate antioxidant protection. This skin calming formula soothes and relieves inflammation while strengthening the capillary walls to improve circulation and toxin removal. Relieves redness and irritability.
 
Review:
Although this water-based serum contains an impressive amount of the plant soothing agent willow herb among other really interesting ingredients, the third ingredient is alcohol, which doesn’t calm skin in the least. Alcohol causes free-radical damage, cell death, and irritation. This serum also contains several fragrant plant oils that someone with sensitive skin should steer clear of at all costs. The claims this serum can remove toxins is sheer myth; there is no proof there are toxins in skin in the first place, and certainly no evidence that they could be coaxed out by a skin-care product.
