Experiment in the UK: Our Guide to the Range

Experiment is known for skincare that reads like a well kept lab notebook: clear percentages, barrier-first thinking and textures that make a daily routine feel like a small pleasure. It can be hard to find in the UK. This is our guide to the Experiment pieces we stock at Glow Trend, what each one does best, and how to put them together.

Why Experiment

Experiment builds almost everything around the skin barrier. Its formulas name their key ingredients and the levels they use, from 30% glycerin in a serum to a 0.5% lipid complex designed to mirror the ratio found in skin. Humectants draw water in, skin-like lipids and gentle occlusives hold it there, and soothing ingredients such as bisabolol, niacinamide and oat oil keep irritation in check. Several formulas are vegan, and much of the range is suited to dry, sensitive or compromised skin. Like everything in our edit, each Experiment product was researched and tested before we chose to stock it.

Super Saturated Serum

The brand's signature blue goo. Super Saturated is a barrier support serum with 30% glycerin, a level at which glycerin goes beyond hydration to replenish and soothe the barrier. Polyglutamic acid adds multi-weight hydration, while bisabolol, prickly pear extract and niacinamide calm irritation. It is clinically proven to improve skin's resilience and natural hydration over time. Shop Super Saturated

Plasma Wash

A low-foaming gel-cream cleanser that leaves moisture behind rather than stripping it away. Gentle amino acid surfactants dissolve SPF, makeup and daily build-up, while 15% glycerin and castoryl maleate, a lipid look-alike, help hydration cling to skin through the rinse. Jojoba oil and fatty acids replenish for a soft, clean finish. It is gentle enough for morning and effective enough for evening, and it is vegan. Shop Plasma Wash

Molecular Mesh Barrier Strengthening Moisturiser

A semi-rich yet breathable moisturiser for daily use on all skin types. Ectoin, phytosphingosine and centella liposomes form a flexible protective web that strengthens the barrier and calms redness. The silky, stretchable texture melts into a naturally dewy finish that will not pill, so it sits neatly under makeup and SPF. Shop Molecular Mesh

Buffer Jelly

Slugging, refined for everyday wear. Buffer Jelly is a light oil-gel that uses a microdose of 3% petrolatum to lock in hydration, paired with a ceramide NP, fatty acid and acai sterol complex that works on longer term barrier repair. A blend of non-comedogenic oils mimics skin's own sebum, and oat oil, panthenyl triacetate and green tea wax soothe redness. It suits any skin type and is vegan. Shop Buffer Jelly

Continuum Daily Multi-Clarifying Treatment

For breakout-prone skin, Continuum addresses congestion, oil, post-blemish marks and redness in a single step while supporting the barrier between breakouts. Encapsulated 1% salicylic acid releases gradually to clear pores, 3% gluconolactone smooths texture and glycinated azelaic acid brightens marks. It is fragrance-free, non-drying and suitable for sensitive and reactive skin. Shop Continuum

Softwear Lip Treatment

A lip treatment that actually deposits moisture. Water and glycerin hydrate, 0.2% hydroxycaprylic acid gently smooths flaky lips, and pomegranate sterols with petrolatum seal everything in. A squalane base keeps it nourishing and never sticky, leaving lips soft, smooth and supple. Shop Softwear

Avant Guard Reusable Sheet Mask

A reusable silicone sheet mask that turns any serum or moisturiser into a custom mask, without the waste of single-use sheets. Do your own experiments, though the brand recommends pairing it with hydrating serums for best results. We love it with Super Saturated before an event or whenever skin feels dry and irritated. Shop Avant Guard

Building an Experiment routine

Begin with Plasma Wash, morning and evening. Press Super Saturated into damp skin, then follow with Molecular Mesh, or with Buffer Jelly if you prefer a lighter, glassier finish. Super Saturated and Buffer Jelly can also be layered or mixed together as a lightweight moisturiser. If breakouts are a concern, apply Continuum to clean skin before moisturiser once a day, and finish with SPF in the morning. Keep Softwear close at hand, and bring out Avant Guard over your serum whenever skin needs extra comfort.
