Christine C Flagler founder Mettalusso
The MORIIS® skincare collection offers consumers an over-the-counter skincare solution to aid their skin between visits to the dermatologist and during routine flare-ups
“Whether you’re a woman or a man going to work or a busy day, you don’t want your daily skincare treatment showing itself, you want the product to do its job and let you get on with yours.”— Christine FlaglerHENDERSON, NV, UNITED STATES, September 3, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — MORIIS®, a novel OTC skincare line developed by beauty entrepreneur Christine Flagler, founder of Mettalusso. MORIIS®—an acronym for Multiple Onset Redness, Irritation and Inflammation of the Skin—was built on a straightforward insight: skin issues seldom occur on a predictable timetable.
Data from the American Academy of Dermatology indicates that more than 15,000 substances can trigger allergic skin reactions, and pinpointing the source of contact dermatitis often requires a thorough examination of a person’s activities and exposures, and sometimes patch testing. Allergic reactions may appear hours or even days after contact, making it challenging for consumers to link an exposure to a reaction.
Because flare-ups are often short-lived, the diagnosis may be contact dermatitis. For Flagler, the problem is not a critique of dermatologists or professional medical care. On the contrary.
“Skin can be complicated,” says Flagler. “A reaction can change by the time you are able to get an appointment. And meanwhile, you still have to go to work, take care of your family, get on the plane, get on Zoom and show up.”
MORIIS® is not meant to replace professional dermatologic care or diagnosis. Instead, the line was designed to provide consumers with an OTC skincare option to support their skin in between appointments and during those everyday moments when a skin issue suddenly becomes the priority they have to handle.
That distinction matters to Flagler. “I didn’t create MORIIS® because we needed another skincare routine,” she says. “I created it because I believe of the need for more solutions that respect their time. When your skin suddenly becomes the problem, you don’t always have the luxury of stopping your day to deal with it.”
OTC Power Without the Usual OTC Experience.
Flagler also spotted another challenge while developing MORIIS®: consumers shouldn’t have to pick between an effective OTC active ingredient and a product experience that feels pleasant enough to integrate into daily life.
“There’s often a perceived tradeoff with treatment skincare,” says Flagler. “You use something because it has the strength you need, but then you’re left dealing with dryness, tightness or a product that simply doesn’t feel good on your skin.”
MORIIS® was built around a different formulation approach: combine appropriate OTC-strength active ingredients with exceptionally soothing and skin-conditioning components while carefully considering how the final product feels and performs cosmetically.
The aim is skincare that is not only effective but also lightweight, comfortable, and cosmetically elegant enough to fit into real life.
For women, this can mean adding appropriate MORIIS® products into a morning skincare and makeup routine rather than feeling that addressing a skin concern means sacrificing how they want to look for the rest of the day.
And the approach is not gender-exclusive. She also notes, “Whether you’re a woman or a man heading into work or a busy day, you don’t want your daily skincare treatment showing itself, you want the product to do its job and let you get on with yours.”
The current three-item collection features all vegan formulas:
1. MORIIS® Modern Acne Breakouts & Shave Bump Instant Treatment — $38 MSRP
An OTC-strength product designed for acne breakouts and shave bumps, presented in a lightweight, fast-acting liquid format intended to fit into a daily skincare routine.
2. MORIIS® Modern Acne + Anti-Oxidant Hydrating Skincare Lotion — $29 MSRP
A multi-purpose skincare lotion that combines acne-focused active ingredients with hydrating and skin-conditioning components.
3. MORIIS® Modern Relief Vegan OTC Calming Facial Lotion — $39 MSRP
An OTC hydrocortisone-based product designed for temporary relief of itching caused by minor skin irritations, inflammation, and rashes per labeled conditions.
This collection is the answer for consumers who no longer have to choose between the OTC active they need and a product they actually want to put on their face.
