About Brand implicit™
General questions about Brand implicit™, our values, philosophy and products.
What is implicit™?
implicit™ is a science-led skincare brand focused on supporting the skin barrier, microbiome and long-term skin health.
Rather than chasing trends, we create effective, enjoyable formulations that are easy to incorporate into a consistent daily routine.
What makes implicit™ different?
We believe skincare should respect the skin before trying to change it.
Our formulations are guided by three principles:
- Barrier-first formulation
- Evidence-informed ingredient selection
- Elegant textures designed for everyday use
Every ingredient must serve a clear purpose. If it does not meaningfully improve the formula, it does not belong.
Are implicit™ products fragrance-free?
Currently, implicit™ products contain a low level of IFRA-compliant fragrance, carefully selected to create a pleasant sensory experience while remaining considerate of the skin.
We understand that some customers prefer fragrance-free skincare, and this is something we are actively considering for future formulations.
Join the implicit™ community to be among the first to hear about new products and fragrance-free options.
What makes implicit™ different?
implicit™ focuses on fewer, better-considered products rather than complicated routines. Every product is designed with a clear function, transparent usage guidance and a premium yet practical experience.
Where can I purchase implicit™ products?

Everything you need to know about E.Q.U.I.N.O.X. including its benefits, suitability, application and place in your daily routine.

Yes. E.Q.U.I.N.O.X. is designed for both face and body, so one gentle cleanser can fit seamlessly into your daily routine.
Will E.Q.U.I.N.O.X. leave my skin feeling dry or tight?
E.Q.U.I.N.O.X. is formulated with a mild surfactant system, hydration-supporting ingredients and skin-supportive lipids to cleanse without the stripped, tight feeling often associated with over-cleansing.
Is E.Q.U.I.N.O.X. suitable for sensitive skin?
E.Q.U.I.N.O.X. is formulated with a mild surfactant system, soothing ingredients and a skin-respecting pH of 5.0-5.5. Because individual sensitivities vary, patch testing is recommended before first use.
Is E.Q.U.I.N.O.X. suitable for oily skin?
Yes. E.Q.U.I.N.O.X. is designed for dry, normal, combination and oily skin, cleansing effectively without relying on an overly stripping feel.
Is E.Q.U.I.N.O.X. suitable for acne-prone skin?
E.Q.U.I.N.O.X. is formulated with a mild cleansing system designed to remove everyday buildup without over-cleansing the skin. Because acne-prone skin can vary considerably, patch testing is recommended if you are introducing it into a sensitive or treatment-based routine.
Does E.Q.U.I.N.O.X. remove sunscreen?
E.Q.U.I.N.O.X. is designed to remove everyday buildup, sweat and surface impurities.
How often can I use E.Q.U.I.N.O.X. ?
E.Q.U.I.N.O.X. is designed for daily use and can be used morning and evening on both the face and body.
Why does E.Q.U.I.N.O.X. contain fragrance?
E.Q.U.I.N.O.X. uses an IFRA-compliant fragrance at a low level for a subtle, comfortable cleansing experience.
Can I use E.Q.U.I.N.O.X. if I have eczema?
Eczema-prone skin can be highly individual. E.Q.U.I.N.O.X. is formulated with a mild cleansing system and skin-comfort ingredients, but we recommend patch testing first and consulting your dermatologist if you have active eczema or frequent flare-ups.
S.H.I.E.L.D.
Everything you need to know about S.H.I.E.L.D. including benefits, application, layering and product suitability.
Why is Ectoin® included at 1% in S.H.I.E.L.D.?
Ectoin® is a well-studied stress-protection molecule used in skincare. S.H.I.E.L.D. includes Ectoin® at 1%, the concentration supported by our supplier efficacy data, so Ectoin® can play a meaningful role in the formulation rather than simply appear on the ingredient list.
Will S.H.I.E.L.D. clog pores or cause breakouts?
S.H.I.E.L.D. is formulated as a lightweight, non-greasy gel-cream and includes ingredients such as niacinamide and Zinc PCA, commonly used in routines for blemish-prone skin. Individual responses can vary, so patch testing S.H.I.E.L.D. before first use is recommended.
Can I use S.H.I.E.L.D. on both my face and body?
Yes. S.H.I.E.L.D. is designed for use wherever skin needs hydration, comfort and barrier support.
Can I use S.H.I.E.L.D. with retinol, vitamin C or exfoliating acids?
Yes. S.H.I.E.L.D. does not contain retinoids or exfoliating acids and can be incorporated into routines containing vitamin C, retinoids or exfoliating acids.
AM: Cleanse → treatment/serum → S.H.I.E.L.D. → sunscreen
PM: Cleanse → treatment/serum → S.H.I.E.L.D.
For prescription retinoids or stronger exfoliating treatments, follow the directions provided with the treatment or by your dermatologist.
Is S.H.I.E.L.D. suitable for oily skin?
Yes. S.H.I.E.L.D. provides hydration and barrier support in a lightweight gel-cream texture designed to absorb comfortably without a heavy, greasy finish. S.H.I.E.L.D. can be used by dry, normal, combination and oily skin types.
Can I use S.H.I.E.L.D. if I have eczema?
Eczema-prone skin can be highly individual. S.H.I.E.L.D. contains barrier-supporting lipids, humectants and soothing ingredients, but S.H.I.E.L.D. also contains fragrance and is not intended to treat eczema. If you have active eczema, frequent flare-ups or highly reactive skin, consult your dermatologist before using S.H.I.E.L.D.
Is S.H.I.E.L.D. suitable for acne-prone skin?
Acne-prone skin can still benefit from hydration and barrier support. S.H.I.E.L.D. delivers both in a lightweight gel-cream texture and includes niacinamide and Zinc PCA. Because acne-prone skin varies from person to person, patch testing S.H.I.E.L.D. is recommended when introducing S.H.I.E.L.D. into your routine.
Why does S.H.I.E.L.D. contain fragrance?
S.H.I.E.L.D. contains a low level of IFRA-compliant fragrance to make the application experience more enjoyable without overpowering the formulation.
How often should I use S.H.I.E.L.D.?
Use S.H.I.E.L.D. morning and evening after cleansing and serums, or whenever skin needs additional hydration and barrier support.
Is S.H.I.E.L.D. vegan and cruelty-free?
Yes. S.H.I.E.L.D. is formulated without animal-derived ingredients and is not tested on animals.
How long does S.H.I.E.L.D. last after opening?
Use S.H.I.E.L.D. within 12 months of opening. Store S.H.I.E.L.D. in a cool, dry place away from direct heat and sunlight, and keep the packaging clean between uses.
Should I patch test S.H.I.E.L.D. before use?
Yes. We recommend patch testing S.H.I.E.L.D. before first use, particularly if your skin is sensitive or reactive.
Does S.H.I.E.L.D. feel heavy or sticky?
No. S.H.I.E.L.D. is designed as a lightweight gel-cream that spreads easily and absorbs without a heavy, greasy finish, making S.H.I.E.L.D. comfortable for everyday layering.
