3-O Ethyl Ascorbic Acid - A stable derivative of Vitamin C, offers a multitude of benefits for the skin. Known for its potent antioxidant properties, it helps to neutralise free radicals that contribute to skin damage, thereby reducing the signs of ageing and protecting against environmental stressors such as UV radiation and pollution. One of its primary advantages lies in its ability to brighten the skin and fade hyperpigmentation, making it effective in addressing uneven skin tone, dark spots, and sun damage. Additionally, 3-O Ethyl Ascorbic Acid promotes collagen synthesis, aiding in skin firmness and elasticity while also supporting the skin's natural repair process. Unlike some other forms of Vitamin C, its stability allows for greater penetration into the skin, ensuring prolonged efficacy and delivering visible results in achieving a smoother, brighter, and more youthful complexion.

Lipopeptide - This active ingredient consists of a long-chain fatty acid linked to a peptide. Its unique structure enhances skin penetration and affinity, allowing it to effectively interact with the skin cells. By initiating the stimulation of collagen synthesis, lipopeptide promotes skin firmness and elasticity. Additionally, it strengthens cellular connections, leading to improved overall skin health.

Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2 Solution - Specifically designed to combat the loss of skin firmness and cohesion that occurs with age, this ingredient targets the effects of chronological aging and helps to maintain skin's structural integrity, resulting in a firmer and more resilient complexion.

NG Kombuchka™ - A distinctive skin conditioning active derived from the fermentation of Sweet Black Tea. NG Kombuchka™ is rich in organic acids and vitamins, which provide various benefits for the skin. It enhances skin smoothness, radiance, and evens out skin tone, supporting an overall improvement in skin quality.

Mixed tocopherol - This ingredient is a complex of natural tocopherols, which are forms of vitamin E. It possesses high oxidative stability, making it an effective antioxidant that protects the skin from damage caused by free radicals and environmental stressors. By safeguarding the skin's lipid barrier, mixed tocopherol contributes to maintaining skin health and youthfulness.

Why use a Facial Serum:

Facial serums are a crucial part of a skincare routine and can provide a potent boost of targeted nutrients and active ingredients to address specific skin concerns. Knowing when and how to use a facial serum properly can significantly enhance its effectiveness and improve the overall health and appearance of your skin.

When to use a facial serum in a routine:

Facial serums should typically be applied after cleansing, exfoliation and toning the skin but before applying a moisturiser. This allows the serum's active ingredients to penetrate the skin more effectively and work on deeper layers. Using a serum after cleansing also ensures that the skin is free from impurities and can better absorb the serum's beneficial components.

How to apply:

1. Dispense 2-3 drops of the facial serum onto your fingertips. This amount is usually enough to cover your entire face and neck.

2. Gently massage the serum into your skin using upward and outward motions. Start from the centre of your face and move towards your hairline, ensuring an even and thorough application. Take care around the delicate eye area, opting for a specialised eye serum instead.

3. Give the serum a few minutes to fully absorb into your skin before applying moisturiser. This time allows the active ingredients to penetrate the skin's layers and work their magic.

4. Once the serum has been absorbed, follow up with your regular moisturiser to lock in the serum's benefits and provide additional hydration to your skin. The moisturiser acts as a protective barrier, sealing in the serum and preventing moisture loss throughout the day or night.
