With a formula focused on 1% colloidal oatmeal, the brand is offering a solution for redness and itchiness.

The Dieux skincare universe is getting a little more specific. Known for formulas that actually do what they say on the bottle, the brand is adding a third option to its moisturizer category. Called Skin Mercy Intense Recovery Cream, the new arrival is for the people whose skin is currently in a state of protest.
While the brand already has the lipid-heavy Instant Angel for barrier repair and the lightweight Air Angel for those prone to breakouts, Skin Mercy is the fix for sensitivity. It marks a milestone for the company as their first product to carry the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance.


The texture is thick and silky, relying on a 1% concentration of colloidal oatmeal and a mix of antioxidants. It is meant to act as a physical buffer, creating a protective layer that works to stop itching and visible redness. The brand describes the effect as “fast forgiveness,” aiming to make reactive skin less temperamental over time. It is a move toward bringing the kind of results usually found in a dermatologist’s office into a standard morning routine.
