FAQs

Can I use these products with other brands?

Yes, these water-based serums are generally compatible with most other skincare products.

What is the recommended order of application?

Apply products from thinnest to thickest consistency, typically starting with Hyaluronic Acid.

Is this set suitable for sensitive skin?

The Soothing & Barrier Support Serum is formulated for sensitive skin, but always patch test new products.

Should I use sunscreen with these products?

Yes, always use a broad-spectrum SPF as part of your morning skincare routine.

How long will these 15ml bottles last?

With daily use, each bottle typically lasts between 3 to 5 weeks depending on the amount applied.

Can I use Niacinamide with Vitamin C?

It is generally recommended to avoid direct mixing of high-strength Vitamin C and Niacinamide in the same application.

Troubleshooting

Pilling or white residue on skin

Reduce the amount of product used; allow each layer to fully dry before applying the next.

Mild stinging or tingling upon application

The skin may be sensitive to the concentration of Niacinamide; try diluting with a moisturizer or applying every other day.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ideal trial size for testing the brand's most popular products
  • Compact and TSA-compliant sizes
  • Comprehensive approach to barrier health and oil balance
  • Lightweight, non-greasy textures
  • Free of fragrance and common harsh irritants

Cons

  • Small bottle sizes may require frequent replenishment
  • Niacinamide can cause irritation for some users at high concentrations
  • Does not include a cleanser or moisturizer to complete a full routine

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these serums are highly concentrated, a small amount—usually 2 to 3 drops—is sufficient for the entire face. When introducing all three into your routine, perform a patch test first to ensure no negative reactions occur. Store the bottles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the active ingredients. As these are water-based serums, ensure you follow up with a moisturizer or occlusive to seal the hydration into the skin. If using other active ingredients like Vitamin C or Retinoids, apply the Soothing & Barrier Support Serum as a buffer to mitigate potential irritation.
