Wake Up Call 100 ml

Wake Up Call from This Place is a lightweight, water-based facial elixir for skin that looks tired, dull, or a little unbalanced in the morning. The formula combines moisture-binding betaine and glycerin with salicylic acid (BHA), antioxidant plant and algae extracts, and reishi - an uncomplicated first skincare step after cleansing that hydrates while also helping promote a smoother, clearer complexion.

• lightweight leave-on facial elixir for all skin types, especially tired, dull, combination, and blemish-prone skin
• combines hydration, gentle exfoliation, and antioxidant care in a first skincare step after cleansing
• Salicylic acid (BHA) removes dead skin cells and helps promote a smoother, clearer complexion
• Betaine, glycerin, and other humectants help keep the skin supple and well hydrated
• with reishi, guayusa, spirulina, willow bark extract, aloe vera, and ginger water
• light, pleasantly fresh texture that absorbs quickly and layers well under additional skincare
• without added fragrance or essential oils
• 100% natural, vegan, and made in Germany
  

Unlike a classic toner, Wake Up Call remains on the skin as a caring leave-on product. Salicylic acid loosens dead skin flakes and may help counteract buildup in the pores, while reishi, guayusa, and spirulina provide antioxidant plant compounds. Humectants such as betaine, glycerin, propanediol, and pentylene glycol help keep the skin well hydrated despite the gently exfoliating ingredient.

The lightweight, almost gel-like texture absorbs quickly and leaves no heavy feeling on the skin. This makes Wake Up Call especially suitable for mornings, and it can be easily worn under serum, face cream, and sunscreen. If you enjoy an extra refreshing effect, you can also store the elixir in the refrigerator.

Wake Up Call is especially suitable as the first leave-on step after cleansing. If you need more hydration afterward, you can combine the elixir with the Right as Rain Hydrating Serum. You can find more functional facial skincare in our This Place Collection.

Key Ingredients

• Reishi is rich in polysaccharides, triterpenes, and other antioxidant plant compounds. This medicinal mushroom helps support the skin during oxidative stress and is particularly interesting for skin that looks tired, stressed, or dull. Studies on reishi extracts confirm significant antioxidant potential and also indicate interesting soothing and skin-protective properties.
• Guayusa extract naturally contains caffeine as well as a high proportion of polyphenols, including chlorogenic acid and other caffeoylquinic acids. These antioxidant plant compounds help capture free radicals and support the skin against environmental oxidative stress. The natural caffeine content also fits very well with Wake Up Call's invigorating concept and with skin that looks tired and lacks freshness in the morning.
• BHA / Salicylic Acid & Willow Bark Extract help promote a clearer, smoother complexion. Salicylic acid is oil-soluble and helps loosen the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing them to be shed more easily. This can smooth rough areas of skin, help counteract clogged pores, and is especially interesting for combination, oily, or blemish-prone skin. Willow bark extract complements the formula with salicin derivatives and plant polyphenols.
• Spirulina provides antioxidant plant compounds such as phycocyanin and carotenoids. This microalga supports the skin's protection against oxidative stress and complements reishi and guayusa in a versatile antioxidant active complex. It is therefore a useful component of the elixir, especially for skin that looks tired and stressed.
• Betaine, Glycerin, Propanediol & Pentylene Glycol form the hydrating base of Wake Up Call. These humectants help bind water in the upper layer of the skin and preserve a soft, supple feeling. This is particularly useful in combination with BHA: the skin is gently clarified while the formula simultaneously provides hydration and helps counteract dry tightness. The INCI lists these humectants immediately after water and ginger water, so they play a substantial role in the formula.
• Ginger Water & Aloe Vera give the formula its refreshing, invigorating skincare character. Ginger water appears directly in second place in the INCI and contributes in particular to the fresh sensory feeling on the skin, while aloe vera complements the hydrating base with soothing properties. This combination is especially well suited to a morning skincare routine for skin that feels tired or lacks freshness

How to Use

• In the morning and/or evening after cleansing, dispense one or two pumps into the palms of your hands.
• Gently distribute over the face, neck, and, if desired, décolleté, and allow to absorb.
• Apply Wake Up Call before serum, face cream, or facial oil.
• Follow with the rest of your skincare routine; in the morning, finish with sunscreen.
• If your skin is very sensitive or not yet accustomed to acids, use it a few times per week at first and monitor how your skin responds.
• For an especially refreshing effect, Wake Up Call can be stored in the refrigerator.
