Customer Notes
What gentler care can feel like.
Reflections from those drawn to gentleness, balance, and ease.
“
I’ve always dealt with cleansers leaving my skin feeling stripped and fragile. The Gentle Cleansing Foam actually leaves it feeling calm and intact. It’s the first time washing my face doesn't feel like a compromise.
“
Finding a moisturizer for Manila heat that actually supports the skin barrier without feeling heavy used to be impossible. The Lightweight Hydrating Cream sinks in instantly but the hydration lasts all day.
“
I was exhausted by 10-step routines that only irritated my skin. Switching to just the Ritual Duo finally gave my barrier a chance to rest and recover. It's uncomplicated and it works.

Russ & Rose was shaped by a pharmacist-developed and nurse-informed approach to formulation, where efficacy, gentleness, and daily usability are held in equal measure.

Care, beyond the skin
Project Pateg
A name drawn from the Ilocano word for what is valued, regarded, and held close.
Project Pateg is our quiet extension of care beyond the skin, beginning with small, intentional support for clean water access and the communities we hope to serve with humility.
It begins simply: with attention, with gratitude, and with the belief that care should reach beyond the ritual itself.

There is a reason we call it Pateg.
Our first story begins with clean water, because what we give attention to matters.
Start with the name. Follow the intention. Discover where this first act of care begins.
