Ultra Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid - This ingredient is a form of hyaluronic acid (HA) with an exceptionally low molecular weight. Studies have shown that when compared to larger-sized HA molecules, low molecular weight HA can penetrate the skin more effectively. As a result, it can influence the expression of various genes, including those responsible for keratinocyte differentiation (the process by which skin cells mature) and the formation of intercellular tight junctions (structures that hold skin cells together). The increased activity of low molecular weight HA at decreasing its molecular size explains its enhanced ability to penetrate the skin more efficiently. When applied topically, this ingredient is known to improve skin functioning and provide anti-aging effects. By deeply moisturising the skin and supporting its natural repair processes, ultra-low molecular weight hyaluronic acid contributes to a smoother, more youthful appearance.

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