FAQs
Is this an oil or a serum? How does it feel on the skin?
This is a bi-phase serum, a light oil blend meets a water-based serum. When shaken, it creates a silky emulsion that feels cushioned yet breathable on the skin. It absorbs without heaviness, leaving a subtle, nourished finish.
What skin types is this serum suitable for?
Formulated with nourishing oils, this rich, dual-phase serum is best suited for normal to dry or mature skin. It may be too emollient for very oily skin types.
Can I use this serum if I have acne-prone skin?
Yes. Niacinamide, pumpkin seed oil, and sunflower oil are known to balance sebum and support barrier repair without clogging pores. Salicylic acid offers a gentle clarifying benefit, making it suitable even for combination or breakout-prone skin.
Is this suitable for sensitive or redness-prone skin?
It can be, yes. Niacinamide is a well-known barrier-strengthening and calming ingredient, and the addition of antioxidant-rich botanical oils helps reduce visible stress. As always, if your skin is highly reactive, we recommend patch testing first.
Will it absorb fully or leave an oily residue?
It absorbs well. The texture is silky, not greasy, and designed to absorb into skin while supporting the lipid barrier. You’ll be left with a soft, comfortable glow, not shine.
Do I need to shake this before each use?
Yes. As a dual-phase formula, gently shaking ensures the oil and water components blend evenly, so you get the full benefit of both in every drop.
Can I use this with other actives like retinol or acids?
Absolutely. This serum is an excellent balancing layer in any active-heavy routine. It pairs well with retinol, exfoliating acids, or vitamin C by helping to replenish and calm the skin after more intense treatments.
When in my routine should I use this?
Apply after cleansing and toning, and before your moisturizer. If you’re layering serums, this one works well last (to lock everything in) after more lightweight serums.
Will it help with dark spots or uneven tone?
Yes. Niacinamide is a proven brightening agent, and when combined with antioxidant-rich oils like rosehip and pomegranate, it helps improve clarity, reduce the look of post-acne marks, and support a more even skin tone over time.
Is this safe for morning use under SPF and makeup?
Yes. It wears well under sunscreen and foundation, especially when given a moment to absorb. It helps prep the skin with a hydrated, softened finish that makes makeup apply more smoothly.
