Instant Relief Treatment

As this is a rich formulation with a protective film, it should be used as the final step in your skincare routine. We recommend applying it to affected areas only when using it on the face, or as a very thin layer if you have dry skin. In the morning, sunscreen should be applied afterward as the final layer.

The main difference lies in the formulation and area of application. Classic zinc ointments are often designed as protective special care products and form a clearly visible and noticeable protective layer on the skin. They are usually used selectively and short-term for specific skin concerns.

The Instant Relief Treatment also contains 5.6% zinc but combines it with hydrating and soothing ingredients such as panthenol, glycerin, allantoin, and squalane. The water-in-oil formula additionally supports the skin barrier and helps retain moisture. This results in a smoother skin feel, and the product can be easily integrated into a daily skincare routine — both as a spot treatment for pimples and as a thin protective layer for irritated areas.

Soothing effects can often be felt shortly after application, especially on irritated, itchy, or tight areas of skin. In the case of inflamed blemishes, the appearance of the skin may improve within a few days, as zinc can have anti-inflammatory properties and the occlusive structure protects the affected area. For a damaged skin barrier or very dry skin, lasting improvement is usually seen with regular use over several days to weeks.

Yes, however, the amount and method of application are crucial.

In this case, we recommend targeted application, for example directly on blemishes or as a thin layer on irritated areas. The Instant Relief Treatment contains a rich lipid phase (oils and waxes) that forms a protective layer on the skin. For very oily skin, applying it over larger areas may feel too heavy, enhance the skin’s natural shine, and leave an overall very rich skin feel.

No. The zinc compounds used are considered well tolerated and are complemented by soothing ingredients such as 5% panthenol and 5% Atobarriome.

For very sensitive skin, we still recommend performing a patch test before first use to check individual tolerance.

Yes, makeup is generally possible. As the product forms a protective, slightly occlusive layer and does not fully absorb, we recommend applying it thinly or locally when using it under makeup.

Due to the zinc oxide it contains, a slight white protective film may be visible if a larger amount is applied. This is functional and part of the protective effect, as the product is intentionally designed to form a barrier over irritated areas.

If gently worked into the skin, the white film is significantly reduced. With thin or spot application, the effect is usually only minimally visible.

For deeper, heavily oozing, or medically treated wounds, medical advice should always be sought.

Our formulation is designed to be soothing and protective and can help support superficially irritated or stressed areas of skin.

The Instant Relief Treatment can be used from the age of 3.

The formulation is designed to soothe and protect. Nevertheless, when used on children or very sensitive skin, we recommend first testing the product on a small area and applying only a thin layer.

Yes, the formulation is specifically designed for sensitive and irritated skin.

The zinc complex has anti-inflammatory properties, panthenol soothes and supports regeneration, while Atobarriome strengthens the skin barrier and supports the microbiome. The high oil content additionally protects against moisture loss and external irritants.

Apply several times daily as needed to affected areas and gently massage in. The treatment can be used both on the face and body. Suitable from the age of 3.

For very dry skin, the treatment can also be applied as a thin layer over the entire face. For oily skin, apply the treatment locally to irritated areas or spread a thin layer over affected areas.

Yes, our Instant Relief Treatment can generally be used safely during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Note: As every pregnancy is individual, we generally recommend consulting your doctor if you have any concerns — especially in the case of sensitive or changing skin.

The treatment can be combined with all other colibri skincare products. If you do not want to use it as needed but as part of your routine, we recommend applying it in the evening at the end of your routine. It can also be used during the day, but sunscreen should then be applied after the Instant Relief Treatment.
