RESTORE – Evening Serum
Your PM ritual, reimagined.
A microbiome-first evening serum powered by the MILQ Complex – a biomimetic system of skin-identical sugars, barrier lipids and precision-fermented postbiotics designed to nourish the microbiome and strengthen the skin barrier.
Formulated to work in rhythm with your skin’s natural overnight cycle, RESTORE supports the microbiome and barrier while helping skin feel replenished, calm and comfortable by morning, without overwhelming the skin it’s caring for.
WHAT IT DOES
At night, your skin follows its own rhythm. As the day's stress settles and cortisol levels fall, skin moves into a calmer, more restful state – but its barrier also becomes more permeable, which means moisture can be lost and skin can feel less hydrated by morning.
RESTORE is a microbiome-first evening serum built around the MILQ Complex – a biomimetic blend of skin-identical sugars, barrier lipids and postbiotic ferments designed to mirror elements of the skin’s own composition.
At its heart are Tasmanian kelp and centella ferments, chosen to support the skin through its evening rhythm and help replenish comfort overnight.
Created to work in rhythm with the skin’s natural evening cycle, RESTORE supports the microbiome and barrier as skin rests, with bakuchiol, squalane and a ceramide complex formulated to nourish and support lasting moisture through the night.
The result is more than overnight hydration. It is skin that feels calm, comfortable and replenished by morning.
WHO IT'S FOR
For skin that feels depleted, unsettled, or in need of recovery at the end of the day.
RESTORE is made for skin that craves calm overnight, and for anyone ready to give their complexion the support it needs to rest and replenish.
Whether your skin feels stressed, sensitive, or simply tired from the day, this is a considered evening step toward steadier, healthier-feeling skin.
Considered enough for every complexion, made with sensitive skin in mind.

Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT MAKES RESTORE DIFFERENT FROM OTHER SERUMS?
Most serums target individual concerns through isolated actives. RESTORE is built around a different philosophy: working with the skin’s natural biology, not against it.
At the heart of the formula is the MILQ Complex, a precise blend of skin-identical sugars, barrier lipids and postbiotic ferments designed to nourish the microbiome, support the skin barrier and encourage long-term skin balance.
RESTORE pairs this complex with evening-focused actives and ferments chosen to replenish, comfort and support the skin as it moves through its overnight rhythm.
HOW IS RESTORE DIFFERENT FROM RENEW?
RESTORE and RENEW share the same MILQ Complex foundation, but their actives and ferments are tuned to the time of day.
RESTORE is your evening serum, focused on overnight nourishment and replenishment with soothing ingredients chosen to support the skin as it rests.
RENEW is your morning serum, with antioxidant-rich ferments and tone-supporting ingredients chosen to support the skin through the day.
Used together as an AM and PM system, they support the skin through its daily rhythm.
IS RESTORE SUITABLE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN?
Yes. RESTORE was formulated with sensitive-feeling and easily unsettled skin in mind.
Every ingredient is selected to work in harmony with the skin’s natural ecosystem, with nothing harsh, stripping or unnecessarily aggressive.
If your skin feels overwhelmed, stressed or difficult to balance by the end of the day, RESTORE is designed to offer gentle overnight support, helping skin feel calmer, more comfortable and more replenished by morning.
HOW LONG UNTIL I SEE A DIFFERENCE?
Skincare works best with consistency.
Because RESTORE is designed to support the skin over time rather than force a rapid change, we recommend using it each evening as part of your nightly ritual.
Many people notice how their skin feels first: comfortable, hydrated, calm and replenished by morning.
IS RESTORE PREGNANCY & BREASTFEEDING SAFE?
RESTORE is formulated without retinol or retinoids.
Because it contains bakuchiol and pregnancy can change the way skin responds to ingredients, we recommend checking with your healthcare provider before introducing RESTORE during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
DOES MILQ CONTAIN ACTUAL BREASTMILK?
Our favourite question! And no, MILQ never uses breastmilk as an ingredient.
Our formulas are inspired by the biological intelligence of breastmilk: the sugars, lipids and postbiotic support that help nourish delicate skin from the very beginning of life.
The result is a biomimetic complex inspired by nature’s first source of nourishment, without using breastmilk itself.
THE AM + PM SYSTEM
Your skin’s rhythm shifts from day to night.
By day, it faces the world. By night, it turns toward replenishment.
RENEW meets the morning. RESTORE settles the evening.
Two serums, one continuous ritual, designed to support the microbiome and barrier from first light to last.
