Layering TIP for active ingredient formulated serum

Sequence is IMPORTANT!
Start off with serums that have a lower pH in order for the active ingredient to get absorbed fully and start working its magic!
1. Apply 20% Vitamin A.C.E Brightening Serum (pH 4.0) on face and neck area and pat lightly for it to absorb.
2. Then continue on with 40% Collagen Peptide Plumping Serum (pH 5.86) and apply it on the face and neck. Allow it to absorb by smoothening it out with your fingers.
3. When applying during the day, finish the routine off with a sunscreen that is SPF 30 and above.
4. If you have very dry skin, apply another layer of the collagen serum to create a collagen barrier on your skin. It maintains your moisture throughout the day and protects the skin from external stress.

How often should I use everything in this set?

For 20% Vitamin A.C.E. Brightening Serum, although this product has been determined to be suitable for sensitive skin via various clinical trials, we'd recommend to start using it at a low frequency. Begin using it only once every 2 days for the first 2 weeks, and when you feel that you skin has adapted, you can begin using it on a daily basis.
For 40% Collagen Peptide Plumping Serum, we recommend using it twice a day, in your morning and evening routine.

When I apply the 20% Vitamin A.C.E. Brightening Serum, I feel a slight tingling sensation, is this normal?

This vitamin C serum contains a high concentration of Ascorbic Acid (16%), Therefore, if it’s your first time using vitamin C in your skincare, you may experience a slight tingling sensation. This natural phenomenon frequently occurs when actives are applied. A short adjustment period is necessary, and it is recommended to start small and gradually increase the frequency of use. If the discomfort persists we recommend to stop using it and consult a dermatologist.

Doesn't it make your skin more vulnerable to sunlight if you use the Vitamin C serum at daytime?

Applying Ascorbic Acid to daytime does not necessarily make your skin more vulnerable or photosensitive. Many studies have shown that Ascorbic Acid helps to protect the skin from photodamage and free-radical attacks.
However, always remember to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF greater than 30 at daytime! The SPF protects your skin from UV attacks on the top surface of your skin and helps the active ingredients in your skincare to function normally. If it’s your first time using a highly concentrated Vitamin C, we recommend you to gradually increase the frequency of use starting from just once a day in your nighttime routine.

Where does the purple pigment in the 40% Collagen Peptide Plumping Serum come from? Does it contain artificial dyes?

Where did the Vegan Collagen in the 40% Collagen Peptide Plumping Serum come from?
