If you have sensitive skin, you know it's change-averse. It knows what it likes and treats new products like suspicious parcels left on the doorstep. So when our most-asked question is "Which Pai product should I try first?", we understand the caution behind it.
The Try Pai Kit is our answer. Four travel-sized products that work as a complete routine, packed in a refillable vegan leather case that'll outlast the products by years. No guesswork, no ingredient conflicts, no wondering if you've bought the right things. Just a simple system that's been 96-hour patch tested on reactive skin.
What's Actually In It (And Why These Four)
We didn't just bundle our bestsellers and call it a starter kit. These four products were chosen because they create a complete routine with a scientific thread running through it: CO2-extracted rosehip.
Three of the four products contain our signature rosehip seed and fruit oil, extracted using supercritical CO2 rather than the industry-standard cold pressing. Independent lab testing confirms this gives us up to 700% more polyphenols than competitor rosehip oils. That's not marketing. That's verified analytical chemistry.
Here's your routine, named and explained:
Light Work™ Rosehip Cleansing Oil
The cleanser that changed how we think about removing makeup. While most cleansers use surfactants (which can't tell the difference between your foundation and your skin barrier), Light Work uses pure physics: oil dissolves oil. The castor oil's natural ricinoleic acid makes it self-emulsifying. Add water, it turns milky, rinses clean. No surfactant residue left behind to irritate your skin for the next 12 hours.
Contains the same CO2-extracted rosehip as our bestselling face oil. Even the cleansing step delivers antioxidants.
The Anthemis™ Chamomile & Rosehip Soothing Moisturiser
Our bestselling moisturiser, and for good reason. The chamomile is CO2-extracted, which preserves matricin, the plant's most potent anti-inflammatory compound. During steam distillation (how most chamomile oils are made), matricin degrades into chamazulene with only one-tenth the activity. We keep it intact.
In clinical trials, German chamomile extract matched hydrocortisone for anti-inflammatory efficacy. After 28 days, 97% of users said it helped soothe dry skin. That's an unusually high agreement rate for sensitive skin, where most products struggle to hit 70%.
The Impossible Glow™ Bronzing Drops
A skincare-makeup hybrid that delivers instant radiance through naturally derived mica and iron oxide pigments, plus long-term glow through a multi-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid complex. The molecular weights range from 180 to 10,000 Daltons, all at the penetrating end of the spectrum.
Fragrance-free and essential oil-free, specifically formulated to layer with any Pai moisturiser without conflict. One drop in your palm with The Anthemis for subtle radiance. Two drops patted directly onto cheekbones for something more pronounced.
Rosehip BioRegenerate™ Face Oil
Over a million bottles sold. The overnight treatment that built Pai's reputation. CO2-extracted from both fruit and seed (most brands use seed only), delivering measurably higher concentrations of the compounds that matter: up to 65% more regenerative sterols, up to 24% more polyunsaturated fatty acids.
The deep orange colour isn't cosmetic. It's visual proof of carotenoid concentration. Paler rosehip oils have either oxidised or started with lower active levels. Apply 3-5 drops to clean skin before bed. Wake up to the kind of glow that makes people ask what you're using.
Two Ways to Use Your Kit
These four products support two different routine structures. Choose based on your morning routine preference.
Option 1: The Full Four-Step
Morning: Light Work (cleanse) → The Anthemis (moisturise) → The Impossible Glow (add radiance)
Evening: Rosehip BioRegenerate (overnight treatment)
This works if you're someone who likes a morning cleanse or wears overnight treatments that need removing.
Option 2: The AM/PM Split
Morning: The Anthemis → The Impossible Glow
Evening: Light Work → Rosehip BioRegenerate
Most people follow this pattern. Skip the morning cleanse (your skin didn't get dirty sleeping), save Light Work for removing the day's SPF and makeup, then follow with overnight regeneration.
Why These Four Work Together
Beyond the rosehip thread, these products were selected for zero redundancy and zero conflict. The Impossible Glow has no fragrance or essential oils, so it won't clash with The Anthemis. Light Work's surfactant-free formula means your evening cleanse doesn't undo your morning's barrier work. Each product has a clear job: calm inflammation, add radiance, remove the day, regenerate overnight.
The clinical backing matters too. Every product in this kit has been 96-hour patch tested on volunteers with reactive skin. The Anthemis has a 112-person sensitive skin trial behind it. The Impossible Glow scored 0.00 on its irritation index, identical to water. When we say suitable for sensitive skin, we mean tested on it.
The Case for Starting Here
Sensitive skin doesn't want surprises. It wants proof, preferably peer-reviewed. It wants to know that matricin is preserved at therapeutic levels, that the rosehip hasn't oxidised in transit, that someone with eczema-prone skin tried this first and lived to review it.
This kit delivers that proof in travel sizes that commit you to nothing beyond a few weeks of trial. If your skin loves it (probability: high, based on our trial data), you know exactly which full sizes to buy and how they fit together. If something doesn't suit, you haven't invested in 50ml of regret.
The vegan leather case is designed to outlive its contents by years. Consider it a very small investment in never using those terrible hotel toiletries again.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in the Try Pai Kit and how do I use it?
The kit contains four travel-size bestsellers in a refillable vegan leather vanity case: Light Work Rosehip Cleansing Oil, The Anthemis Chamomile & Rosehip Soothing Moisturiser, The Impossible Glow Bronzing Drops, and Rosehip BioRegenerate Overnight Face Oil. In the morning, apply The Anthemis for calm hydration and mix in The Impossible Glow for radiance. In the evening, cleanse with Light Work, then massage Rosehip BioRegenerate into face and neck to rejuvenate skin overnight.
Why is an oil cleanser better than a traditional makeup remover for sensitive skin?
Oil clings to oil, so an oil-based cleanser like Light Work dissolves makeup and SPF through lipophilic affinity rather than using surfactants or detergents. Most conventional makeup removers rely on surfactants that strip the skin's own protective barrier lipids alongside the impurities, leaving skin tight and irritated. Light Work is completely surfactant-free and self-emulsifies with water using castor oil's natural ricinoleic acid, so it rinses clean without leaving any detergent residue behind.
What makes Pai's Rosehip BioRegenerate Oil more potent than other rosehip oils?
Pai uses CO2 supercritical extraction on both the rosehip fruit and seed, not just the seed like most competitors. This preserves significantly more bioactive compounds: independent third-party laboratory testing confirmed up to 700% more polyphenols, up to 65% more regenerative sterols, and up to 24% more polyunsaturated fatty acids than comparable market-leading rosehip oils. That deep orange colour you see in the bottle is a direct indicator of high carotenoid concentration, preserved by the low-temperature, oxygen-free extraction process.
How does The Anthemis moisturiser help calm reactive, sensitive skin?
The Anthemis is built around CO2-extracted German chamomile, which preserves matricin, the plant's most potent anti-inflammatory compound that gets destroyed during conventional steam distillation. Chamomile suppresses the inflammatory cascade driving redness and reactivity, while CO2-extracted rosehip delivers essential fatty acids that reinforce the skin's barrier to prevent further moisture loss. In an independent consumer trial of 112 women with sensitive skin, 97% said it helped soothe dry skin and 80% said it visibly reduced the appearance of redness after 28 days.
Is the Try Pai Kit suitable for people with very reactive or eczema-prone skin?
Yes. All four products are free from synthetic surfactants, alcohol, parabens, sulfates, and synthetic preservatives, which are among the most common triggers for skin reactions. The Anthemis has been 96-hour patch tested on volunteers with sensitive and eczema-prone skin, while The Impossible Glow scored a Mean Irritation Index of 0.00 in a 30-person sensitive skin patch test, identical to the deionised water control. That said, The Anthemis and Light Work do contain essential oils at low concentrations, so if you have known essential oil sensitivities, a patch test before full use is a good idea.
