Frequently asked questions

What is a serum and what does it do?

+

A serum is a lightweight, concentrated treatment applied after toner and before moisturizer. It carries the active ingredients that target a specific concern, such as uneven tone, dehydration or fine lines.

What's the difference between a serum and an ampoule?

+

An ampoule is essentially a more concentrated serum, often used for a few weeks at a time when skin needs intensive support. A serum is the everyday version you can use continuously.

Which serum should I choose for my concern?

+

Choose niacinamide for uneven tone and visible pores, hyaluronic acid for dehydration, snail mucin or centella for repair and redness, vitamin C for dullness, and retinol for texture and fine lines.

Can you use more than one serum at once?

+

Yes, but layer from thinnest to thickest and don't combine strong actives in the same routine. Vitamin C in the morning and retinol at night is a common way to use both without irritation.

How long before a serum shows results?

+

Hydrating serums improve how skin feels within days. Brightening and anti-aging actives such as niacinamide, vitamin C and retinol usually need six to twelve weeks of consistent use before the change is visible.

A serum sits between your toner and moisturizer and carries the highest concentration of actives in the routine. Because the molecules are small and the texture is light, it's the step best suited to delivering ingredients where they need to go.

The range covers niacinamide for tone and pores, hyaluronic acid for hydration, snail mucin and PDRN for repair, vitamin C for brightness and retinol for texture and fine lines. Ampoules are simply more concentrated serums, usually used as a short course when skin needs extra help.
