Is SPF all your skin needs in the summer? Although sun protection is an absolute must, your complexion needs much more in the hot months. High temperature, intense UV radiation, air conditioning, wind and time zone changes - all of this weakens the hydrolipid barrier, causes dehydration, and promotes micro-inflammation and discoloration. That's why in the summer you can't forget about effective, concentrated care. Here's a facial care cosmetic that will take care of your skin when it needs it most - Orientana serum-ampoules .
Why do you need more than just SPF in summer?
In the summer, sun protection is an absolute must – there is no doubt about that. A cream with an SPF filter is a must-have in every skincare routine, regardless of age or skin type. However, SPF alone is not enough to comprehensively care for your facial skin in the summer season .
What doesn't SPF provide?
Sunscreens are designed primarily to protect the skin from UVB and UVA radiation , the main factors that cause sunburn and accelerated aging. However, they do not have skin care properties in the full sense of the word. SPF does not repair sun damage , does not repair the epidermis or counteract oxidative stress caused by the sun, pollution or heat.
What’s more, most sunscreens don’t provide enough hydration , which can lead to dryness, tightness, and a weakened skin barrier. SPF also doesn’t provide antioxidants , which are key in fighting free radicals—one of the main factors that accelerate the aging process.
According to a study published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology , as much as 80% of visible signs of skin aging (such as wrinkles, discoloration, and loss of elasticity) are related to exposure to UV radiation and free radicals. Sunscreen alone is not enough protection against these processes.
What facial care product does your skin need in the summer?
Summer months are a time when facial skin struggles with many challenges: sun, high temperatures, air conditioning, air travel, and time zone changes. As a result, dehydration, micro-inflammation, and hyperreactivity can occur.
Therefore, summer care should be supplemented with a facial care product that:
- has an antioxidant and protective effect , neutralizing free radicals (e.g. thanks to vitamin C, coenzyme Q10, plant extracts),
- strengthens the epidermal barrier , protecting against water loss and harmful external factors,
- prevents discoloration by regulating the melanogenesis process (e.g. thanks to niacinamide or tranexamic acid),
- soothes and moisturizes , restoring the feeling of comfort and freshness even after a whole day in the sun.
According to a 2024 Mintel report, 58% of consumers look for cosmetics with a cooling and soothing effect in the summer , and over 70% declare that they are looking for skincare products with additional antioxidant properties .
That is why in the summer it is worth reaching for cosmetics in the form of ampoules , which provide intensive care and support for the skin where SPF is simply not enough.
Facial care cosmetics – what should they stand out with to really work?
Choosing the right facial care product is key to healthy, radiant and resistant skin – especially in the transitional and summer seasons, when the complexion is particularly vulnerable to environmental stress. Contrary to appearances, “anything moisturising” is not enough – modern facial care is based on advanced formulas that target specific skin needs and bring real results.
Facial care cosmetics should be matched to the type and current condition of the skin.
A product for dry skin will work differently than for oily or vascular skin. That is why it is worth reaching for products with a specific action : moisturizing, soothing, anti-wrinkle, brightening or regulating. It is best if the cosmetic combines several functions - for example, it moisturizes while supporting the hydrolipid barrier and has an antioxidant effect.
The formula matters – consistency, absorbability and active ingredients matter
A good quality facial care product should have a light consistency that is well tolerated by the skin – especially in the summer, when the skin becomes oily more quickly and is more susceptible to overheating. It is worth choosing fragrance-free or delicately scented products, free from unnecessary clogging substances, and rich in:
- adaptogens (e.g. ashwagandha) – supporting skin resistance to stress,
- vitamins (C, E, niacinamide) – have antioxidant and brightening properties,
- hyaluronic acid and trehalose – intensively moisturizing,
- peptides – improving skin firmness and tension.
A facial care cosmetic that works – the new generation of Ampoule Serum
Modern care is increasingly based on highly effective cosmetics – such as serums and ampoules . These formulas allow you to provide your skin with a concentrated dose of active substances in a short time. Orientana ampoules are the best example of this – they combine the power of nature, adaptogens and modern technologies, it is a universal facial care cosmetic that will work well in any daily routine.
Facial care cosmetics must be effective. But consumers also pay attention to other factors.
More and more consumers declare that they choose natural, vegan and environmentally friendly cosmetics. According to data from the Euromonitor report (2024), over 63% of cosmetics users declare that the composition and origin of the product are crucial when buying a facial care cosmetic . Orientana responds to these needs by creating natural products with short and transparent compositions.
If you are looking for a facial care product that is light, effective, natural and tailored to your needs – the ampoule serum is a choice that really makes a difference.
Orientana Serum-Ampoules – Natural Face Care Cosmetic for Summer
Orientana serum-ampoules are the answer to the real needs of modern skin – stressed, exposed to UV radiation, dry air from air conditioning and environmental pollution. Based on Ayurvedic ashwagandha , they combine the power of adaptogenic plants with modern biotechnological solutions. Their light, water-gel formula is ideal for warm months, not burdening the skin, while providing it with a concentrated dose of active substances.
This is a natural facial care cosmetic that works effectively but gently - ideal for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Each serum-ampoule variant responds to different skin needs, so you can easily match it to the current condition of your skin.
Serum ampoule Ashwagandha + Trehalose + HYALURONIC ACID
This is an intensively moisturizing elixir for dehydrated and tired skin. Trehalose , a natural disaccharide, has strong protective properties - it acts as a "molecular shield", protecting skin cells from oxidative stress, thermal shock and dehydration. It works perfectly in air-conditioned rooms, during air travel or after a whole day in the sun. The skin becomes more elastic, soft and resistant to drying.
Serum Ampoule Ashwagandha + Vitamin C + Tranexamic Acid
The perfect solution for summer discoloration prevention. Vitamin C has a brightening and antioxidant effect, neutralizing free radicals and stimulating collagen synthesis. Tranexamic acid supports the even distribution of melanin in the epidermis and reduces the visibility of existing pigmentation spots. This serum is especially recommended for people with a tendency to melasma, acne discoloration and uneven skin tone. It works great with daily SPF use.
Serum ampoule AshwagandhA + Peptides + Coenzyme Q10
This is an intensively regenerating facial care product , especially recommended for mature and tired skin. Peptides support the reconstruction of skin structure and stimulate the synthesis of collagen and elastin. Coenzyme Q10 , a known antioxidant, protects against the harmful effects of UV radiation and oxidative stress. Using this serum improves the firmness and smoothness of the skin, restoring its youthful glow - even after a day full of exposure to the sun.
Serum AMPOULE AshwaGANDHA + Cica + Niacinamide
This is an ampoule with a strong antioxidant and SOOTHING effect , ideal for sensitive, reactive or irritation-prone skin. Cica (Asian pennywort) has a soothing effect, accelerates regeneration and strengthens the skin's natural protective barrier. Niacinamide (vitamin B3) supports the fight against free radicals, reduces redness and prevents discoloration. This is a light, multi-tasking facial care product that will work well not only on summer days - especially when your complexion needs calm and balance.
How to use serum-ampoules in summer?
Summer skin care should not only be light and comfortable, but above all effective. Serum ampoules are cosmetics that can be flexibly incorporated into your daily routine or treated as an intensive treatment supporting skin regeneration and protection in a demanding season. Thanks to their concentrated formula, natural ingredients and light consistency, they work well at any time of day - regardless of skin type.
In the morning – as a SERUM under SPF
In the summer, it is worth starting the day by applying a serum-ampoule under a cream with a filter. This is a great way to provide the skin with a portion of antioxidants that neutralize free radicals created by the sun and pollution. Ampoules with vitamin C, trehalose or niacinamide will act as a protective shield : they moisturize, brighten and strengthen the barrier of the epidermis. Thanks to the light, water-gel formula, they are quickly absorbed and do not interfere with makeup or SPF.
In the evening – as a regeneration after the sun
After a whole day of exposure to UV radiation, air conditioning or wind, the skin needs relief and reconstruction. In the evening care, the serum-ampoule acts as a regenerating concentrate - it soothes irritations, supports repair processes and deeply moisturizes. Formulas with adaptogens, peptides or Cica help reduce inflammation, restore elasticity and prepare the complexion for night regeneration.
Daily or as an intensive treatment
Serum ampoules can be used in two ways - daily, as a permanent element of morning or evening care, or as an intensive treatment , e.g. a 7-day strengthening ritual. This is a great solution before an important event, after a trip, a change of climate or when the skin clearly "cries for help". Regular use for several days can significantly improve the appearance and condition of the skin.
Combining with other care steps
Serum ampoules work great with other cosmetics – they can be combined with moisturizing creams, face mists or oils, depending on the needs of the skin. It is worth applying them to slightly damp skin (e.g. after toner or essence) to increase their absorption and effectiveness. This is a flexible cosmetic that you can easily fit into your daily routine – both minimalist and multi-step.
