Accelerated recovery to damaged skin cells
Step 1: Make sure skin is clean and dry before applying.
Step 2: Shake well before use. Apply a dime-sized amount to the affected area every 8-12 hours for 3-4 days for optimal results.
Pro Tip: While Mayday is your go-to solution for sunburns, it’s also perfect for other minor skin irritations: use it on razor burn, chafing from active wear or hiking boots, heat styling tool burns (like curling irons), and minor cooking burns (from grilling or campfires).
VIP Tip: Keep Mayday in the fridge for an added cooling effect when you need it most.

This product is amazing! I used it after a bad sunburn on my chest. Within 24 hours, the burn had almost completely subsided. No pain or peeling! Mayday is light weight, non greasy and smells good. Highly recommend for post sun skincare. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I LOVE your product. I got a nasty sunburn this past weekend and I thought for sure my face would blister and peel. I used your Mayday product 3 times post burn and my sunburn VANISHED! I swear I saw the wrinkles and aging skin coming in just from that burn but this has quickly cleared it up in over a day. Thank you again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Science + Nature
Concentrated With Sirenas Complex AQ
Actively Reduces Redness and Swelling
Infused with a higher concentration of marine ingredients to quickly reduce redness and swelling, providing fast-acting relief after overexposure to the elements.
Skin Repair & Regeneration
Helps reduce peeling by accelerating the skin’s natural healing mechanisms. Peeling happens when our body sheds damaged cells, but with Sirenas Complex AQ, Mayday activates and accelerates the healing process before peeling even starts.
Prevents Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL)
With powerful moisturizing nutrients, it helps restore skin’s lipid barrier and prevents transepidermal water loss, providing lasting hydration and protecting severely dehydrated, damaged skin from future harm.
Nourishes Skin Barrier
Our blend is rich in vitamins, minerals, and other micronutrients that support and improve overall skin health.

Built for active recovery
Mayday steps up when you need it most. With a 3x concentration boost of Sirenas Complex AQ, it does more than just cool you down—actively treating inflamed/damaged skin, accelerating your skin’s natural healing process and minimizing peeling. So you can get back on track and be ready for whatever’s next.
≈ 30 DAY TURNOVER
MAXIMUM RESULTS MINIMUM ROUTINE
We convinced our founder to put our Everyday moisturizer to the test for 30 days. He kept his daily routine exactly the same-surfing, showering, working, chasing his kids, playing tennis-except he only applied the Everyday moisturizer to his right hand. The results? Let’s just say that his hands had a lot to say about it.
HOW TO USE
STEP 1

STEP 2
Shake well before use. Apply a dime-sized amount to the affected area every 8-12 hours for 3-4 days for optimal results.

United StatesEveryday all of the time
As someone who spends a lot of time outside mountain biking and have never used skin products - I have become a convert and use Everyday all of the time and Mayday on the weekends. Jeff H

United StatesThis cream has changed my skin!! I bought eight to give to my entire family! It is a game changer! Also, the price point is such a no brainer value play given the technology in this tube! Forget about La Mer—- Buy Terns!

United Statesgreat product
Package came in time, as soon as I opened the box I could smell the product. Such a nice clean fragrance. Love the light texture, not heavy at all. I also use it as my night time moisturizer before bed and it has kept my skin hydrated and youthful.

United StatesGreat product!
I rarely write reviews, but if you’re care about your skin and want that lasting youthful appearance that works based on real science, Terns is definitely a product you should know about! For decades I’ve used high end and very expensive beauty products, but nothing compares to Terns in quality and value. I travel quite a bit and am constantly outdoors. The results I’ve seen using Tern’s Everyday product in keeping my skin soft, wrinkle free and protected from the sun’s damaging rays is amazing and is at a price point where I can stock up! Terns gives me results I can count on every minute of everyday. I even got my husband to use it now too! He likes the feel on his skin. People say I’m looking younger than ever and have been asking what I’ve done to my face lately :)
