Serums 101
Serums are essential components of an effective skincare routine, providing targeted treatments for a variety of skin concerns. Unlike moisturisers, which primarily create a protective barrier on the skin’s surface, serums are formulated with smaller molecules that penetrate deeper layers of the skin. This unique ability enables serums to address issues at a cellular level, ensuring that the active ingredients reach their target effectively.
Designed to tackle specific skin issues such as fine lines, dehydration, uneven skin tone, or redness, serums allow you to customise your skincare routine to meet your individual needs. By choosing serums that align with your particular skin concerns, you can significantly enhance the overall effectiveness of your skincare regimen.
Understanding Our Three Unique Serums
Phytomelatonin Rejuvenating Serum
Our richest serum, the Phytomelatonin Rejuvenating Serum, is formulated with Dr. Ferri’s powerful 70% Alpine Plant Melatonin (APM™) and 30% Vitamin E. This potent combination significantly reduces five key signs of ageing, while also calming the skin. Ideal for those with dry, dehydrated, or mature skin, this serum is perfect for nighttime use. It can also be used during the day for an added boost of richness.
How to use:
- Mist clean skin with Helichrysum Toner. Allow to dry on skin.
- Apply 1-2 drops of Phytomelatonin Rejuvenating Serum onto the face, neck and décolleté with circular upwards motions.
- Follow with Hibiscus Night Cream.
Irene's Tip: Phytomelatonin Rejuvenating Serum paired with Hibiscus Night Cream is our most recommended overnight anti-ageing duo. They may also be used in the day by those with very dry, dehydrated, or mature skin who prefer a very rich texture.
Hibiscus Serum
Enriched with Myoxinol™, the Hibiscus Serum is an age-defying formula that smooths out wrinkles and enhances skin texture. This versatile serum is suitable for daily use and works wonderfully on all skin types, making it an essential part of your morning routine.
How to use:
- After cleansing and toning, apply 1-2 pumps of Hibiscus Serum onto the face, neck and décolleté with circular upward motions.
- Follow with Olive Eye Cream and preferred moisturiser.
Irene's Tip: Hibiscus Serum paired with Prickly Pear Face Cream is our most recommended anti-ageing duo for your daytime skincare routine.
Triple Level Hyaluronic Serum
The Triple Level Hyaluronic Serum is a lightweight and hydrating option designed to boost moisture levels and plump the skin. This serum is ideal for younger skin and can be layered under richer serums, making it a fantastic addition to any skincare routine.
How to use:
- After cleansing and toning, apply 1-2 drops of Triple Level Hyaluronic Serum onto the face, neck and décolleté with circular upward motions.
- Follow with Olive Eye Cream and preferred facial moisturiser.
Irene's Tip: Triple Level Hyaluronic Serum can be layered underneath Hibiscus Serum during day or Phytomelatonin Rejuvenating Serum at night for an extra hydration boost. It may also be used as an ‘eye serum’ under Olive Eye Cream.
