ɑ-TOCOPHEROL FROM SUNFLOWER MICROGREENS

An essential micronutrient and lipophilic antioxidant, also referred to as vitamin E, that helps protect the skin as one of the primary barrier antioxidants against the breakdown of surface lipids

How and when do I use this serum?

You can use this serum morning and night - apply 2 to 3 pumps onto clean face and neck. Follow with moisturizer and sunscreen (in the daytime).
We recommend pairing this serum with other active ingredients in your routine (including vitamin C, retinol, AHA/BHA etc.) for a boost of hydration + barrier support. It is always best to layer products based on their thickness (from thinnest to thicknest).

Is p-hyaluronic acid the same as hyaluronic acid?

p-hyaluronic acid is a 3-5-1 phyto-complex that serves as an alternative to topical hyaluronic acid, optimized for better absorption to deliver long lasting hydration and barrier support.
In contrast to injectable hyaluronic acid, topical hyaluronic acid, and thus its efficacy, is limited by its molecular size. To get past this barrier of topical hyaluronic acid, we combined three active/bioactive ingredients (3% glycerin, 5% tamarind flower polysaccharides, and 1% sunflower microgreens) that rapidly absorb and synergistically work together to deliver the benefits advertised by topical hyaluronic acid - deep hydration, collagen renewal and better barrier.

Can this serum be used with other actives (vitamin C, retinol / retinoids etc.)?

Yes, this serum serves as the perfect pairing with other active ingredients (including vitamin C, retinol and AHA/BHA) to lock in the benefits of the active and protect the skin barrier so you can experience the effectiveness of the actives without discomfort.
We recommend using this serum before or after active-based steps in your routine for a boost of hydration + barrier support. It is always best to layer products based on their thickness (from thinnest to thicknest).

What do the bubbles in this serum do?

We use a patented encapsulation system to create the micro-bubbles - the bubbles protect the actives + bioactives until application—for instant delivery and optimal absorption

When will I start seeing results after using this serum?

Everyone’s skin is different but based on clinical testing, it is normal to notice benefits (skin softness/hydration) immediately. Other longer term benefits like improvement in skin texture and overall skin health may take longer.

Is it safe to use this serum on sensitive skin?

Yes, most people with sensitive skin can use this serum safely. This serum is formulated to hydrate and soothe sensitized skin with a plant-based complex that has added anti-inflammatory properties. It has also been tested on sensitive skin under dermatologist supervision as part of clinical RIPT to ensure compatibility with all skin types.

Can this serum be used with makeup?

Yes, we recommend using this serum before makeup as a priming step for a hydrated base and smoother makeup application.

Is this serum safe to use during pregnancy?

Yes, this serum is considered as safe to use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. However, if you’re uncertain about using any new skin care product or ingredient, please consult your physician.
