"I worked on this special formula for myself. I wanted to create a lightweight yet potent fluid that would help reduce breakouts, fade pigmentation, strengthen the barrier, refine the appearance of pores, and help skin reflect light better. I combined 56 of my favourite actives into one brilliant treatment that you use on its own, or before serums, or mixed with your favourite serums." —Nicolas Travis, Founder of Allies of Skin

Product details
Formulated for skin that craves radiance, this supercharged essence began as founder Nicolas Travis’s personal treatment—an exclusive blend he used daily for smoother, brighter, more even skin. After three years of research and 10 meticulous iterations, this once-private formula is now available exclusively at VIOLET GREY, delivering professional-level results in one featherlight step.
Powered by 56 high-performance actives, this multitasking fluid targets texture, uneven tone, visible pores, redness, and dullness. The fast-absorbing, silky texture glides on effortlessly, creating the perfect base for makeup or additional treatments. With consistent use, skin looks visibly smoother, more even, and radiant.
INSIDE THE FORMULA

- Ellagic Acid & Probiotics Complex: Antioxidant that fades pigmentation and supports the skin barrier with a balancing microbiome blend.
- Ectoin & Goji Complex: Shields against pollution and free radicals while enhancing brightness and resilience.
