You need a strong emergency response in the form of a powerful cosmetic. Here, the choice should fall on a face serum with a highly concentrated dose of ingredients. A serum is a product with a highly concentrated composition of vitamins and plant extracts. Its consistency is much lighter than that of a cream, but the effect is definitely not lighter! It is quickly absorbed into the skin, and the valuable molecules of the cosmetic penetrate deep into the skin and work intensively. ORIENTANA BIO FACE SERUM In the Orientana natural cosmetics range you will find natural Bio Serum for the Face, which is a combination of Asian plants with the effectiveness of modern natural ingredients! Such a natural serum contains a whole host of valuable ingredients!

Natural serum works best when applied to cleansed and toned skin. You can use it twice a day: in the morning and in the evening. Additionally, after applying the natural serum, it is worth applying an appropriate cream that will work more superficially. There is no need to worry about applying cosmetics in layers, because the serum has a light, watery consistency and will absorb quickly. Additionally, it will enhance the effect of the applied cream! You can safely use Bio Serum all year round, regardless of the season. WHICH BIO SERUM TO CHOOSE? Depending on the current needs of the skin and its condition, start using a dedicated serum for yourself.

Do you know how to prepare your skin for the summer? How to effectively provide your skin with proper protection from solar radiation and prepare it for high temperatures? Not only natural cosmetics will help you with this, but also homemade scrubs that you can easily prepare at home. Your skin after winter can be dry and exposed to the adverse effects of sudden changes in temperature. Therefore, it requires proper preparation for summer, proper hydration and really careful care. Homemade peels will help you with this, they will give your skin a new glow, exfoliate dead skin and nourish the skin so that it is properly prepared for tanning. LIMIT THE USE OF COLOUR COSMETICS AND ENJOY THE BENEFITS OF NATURE In the summer, it is worth limiting the use of colored cosmetics such as powders, fluids, and foundations to allow the skin to rest. Oxygenated skin simply looks more beautiful and healthier. This is a sufficient reason to give up makeup in the summer. Regularly burdening the skin of the face with makeup products causes skin cells to age faster, and the skin needs immediate regeneration. The effect of too frequent makeup in the summer is weakened and dry skin. In such a situation, you may also experience difficulties in cleansing the skin, and even more difficulty in absorbing creams or nutrients into the skin, which are contained in masks, creams or balms, among others. If you are preparing your skin for the summer - choose natural cosmetics that will take care of your skin in the right way and moisturize it properly. SKIN DETOXIFICATION WITH HOMEMADE PEELINGS AND NATURAL COSMETICS Cleansing the skin is the first step in preparing the skin for the summer season. A full body peel is a great way to cleanse the skin of toxins, deeply moisturize the skin, give it greater elasticity and softness. How to peel at home? I will add that it is the best and most natural. Mix coffee grounds with a few drops of Orientana body oil and rub it all over the body. If you do not have coffee grounds, combine the body oil with sea salt. This will be a strong but very stimulating treatment for the skin. Preparing the facial skin is more demanding. If the skin is not thoroughly cleansed, you need to know that it is much easier to get inflammation and blackheads. Natural face peels based on plant extracts are helpful in such cleansing, e.g. a peel with papaya and Indian ginseng (ashwagandha) extract . Why is it worth starting the skin cleansing process with such a peel? First of all, it is a cosmetic with a light consistency thanks to shea butter, which is fully natural. In addition, it provides the skin with protection against discoloration and melanin production, and carefully evens out its color. On the other hand, Indian ginseng helps the skin regenerate after winter, takes care of its moisture and facilitates smoothing. You can also prepare homemade peels that will nourish your skin yourself, e.g. sugar peel, lemon peel, peel with the addition of natural honey. INTENSIVE MOISTURIZING IS A GUARANTEE OF BEAUTIFUL SKIN The next step in preparing your skin for the summer season is to moisturize it properly. Using natural cosmetics with the right plant composition allows you to not only strengthen your skin, but also moisturize it deeply. Proper nutrition and regular hydration of the body with water are also important. Deeply moisturized skin is then more nourished, smoother, healthier and looks more beautiful. However, you need to know that this is only possible when you use the right, fully natural cosmetics with plant and nutritional ingredients. Regular massages and body balms with natural cosmetics will make you feel a significant difference in the appearance and condition of your skin. STRENGTHEN YOUR SKIN FOR SUMMER AND CHECK HOW NATURAL AYURVEDIC COSMETICS WORK Exposing your skin to sunlight means it requires thoughtful regeneration and very gentle care.

Summer is a time of intense sun, high temperatures and… frequent mistakes in skin care. Most people know that a sunscreen is a must-have in the routine, but still few of us think about what should be under the SPF for the face . And it is the well-chosen base layer that can determine the effectiveness of sun protection, the comfort of wearing the filter, and even the condition of the skin after a whole day of exposure to UV rays. As a beautician, I often hear questions like: Is it enough to apply just a filter? Can I use a vitamin C serum under SPF? What about hydration? The answer is not clear-cut – it all depends on the needs of the skin, the type of cosmetic with a filter and the conditions we live in. SPF for the face is just one part of the puzzle – what is underneath it is equally important. In this article I explain: why it is worth applying care under the cream with a filter, what ingredients work best in summer, which formulas work with SPF and which can weaken its effect, and what the perfect morning routine looks like during the sun season. Let's start with the basics - why use anything under SPF on your face at all? Why is it worth applying something under SPF on your face? A sunscreen is one of the most important skincare products – it protects the skin from the harmful effects of UV radiation, prevents photoaging and discoloration. However, for SPF to be effective and not burden the skin, it should be part of a well-planned morning routine. The filter alone is not enough – it is worth preparing the complexion for its application by using appropriate base cosmetics. Better filter adhesion and efficiency Well-moisturized and smooth skin is the perfect base for any sunscreen. SPF for the face spreads better and doesn't roll if you apply a light serum or moisturizer beforehand. This way, you can be sure that the sunscreen will work evenly and effectively. Strengthening antioxidant protection UV radiation not only damages the DNA of skin cells, but also generates so-called oxidative stress , which accelerates the aging process. That is why cosmetologists recommend using a serum with vitamin C or other antioxidants under SPF for the face - it is an effective shield against free radicals. Studies show that the combination of vitamin C and sun filters significantly increases photoprotection. Moisturizing and protecting the skin barrier High temperatures, sun and air conditioning can lead to dehydration of the epidermis. Sunscreen alone is often not enough, especially if it contains alcohol or mattifying ingredients. Therefore, it is worth applying a cosmetic with hyaluronic acid, trehalose or squalane under the SPF for the face , which will provide the right level of hydration and prevent the feeling of tightness. Comfortable to wear all day long Properly selected care under SPF makes the skin look fresh, not too shiny, and the filter does not "cake" or boil. This is especially important when you use makeup - a care base under the filter improves its durability and aesthetics on the face. So if you want your face SPF to do its job not only on paper but in reality, don't skip the base care stage. Light, moisturizing and antioxidant formulas will help your skin better withstand sun exposure and provide comfort all day long. Great! Here's another part of a blog post written by a beautician, with an emphasis on the SEO phrase "face SPF" : Features of the perfect SPF face cosmetics for summer In the summer, skin care must be light, effective and well thought out. High temperatures, humidity, sweat and excess sebum mean that every additional layer on the face can affect the comfort of the entire day. Therefore, if you reach for SPF for the face , also consider what cosmetics to apply under the filter , so as not to overload the skin and not weaken the protective effect. Light, quickly absorbed formulas Gel, water or water-emulsion products work best under SPF for the face . They should absorb quickly and not leave a greasy film. Serums and essences that do not negatively affect the durability of filters or cause them to roll are well tolerated. Examples of ideal consistencies: Ashwagandha ampoule serum Tremella serum elixir. Hello Papaya Vitamin C Serum Snail Slime Essence Non-comedogenic and oil-free compositions In the summer, many people struggle with excessive skin shine and clogged pores. That is why it is worth using non-comedogenic cosmetics under SPF for the face , free of heavy oils or waxes. Such formulas not only prevent imperfections, but also work better with chemical and mineral filters. Active ingredients supporting UV protection Some substances not only “get along” well with SPF, but actually enhance its effects. These include: Vitamin C and E – strong antioxidants that increase the effectiveness of sun protection, ashwagandha - a strong antioxidant, it eliminates free radicals produced by radiation niacinamide – regulates sebum, has anti-inflammatory and brightening effects, hyaluronic acid – binds water and protects the skin against dehydration, CICA (Centella Asiatica) – soothes, regenerates and protects blood vessels Minimalist and compatible compositions Cosmetics under SPF should be well thought out – the fewer irritating ingredients, the better. Avoid too intensive AHA/BHA acids, retinoids and exfoliating products in the morning. The ideal care under SPF for the face is one that supports the epidermal barrier, does not interact with the filter and does not cause irritation. A beautician's tip Remember – not every cosmetic will work well with a sunscreen. If your face SPF is rolling, shining or “cakey”, it is worth taking a look at the previous layers of care. Sometimes it is enough to change the serum to a lighter one or skip the cream to improve the durability of the sun protection. Properly selected active ingredients not only do not interfere with sunscreens, but can actually enhance the effect of SPF for the face , support the skin in the fight against free radicals and prevent discoloration. Below is a list of substances that are worth using in a serum or light cream under SPF in the summer - also in the context of daily antioxidant care. The best active ingredients for facial SPF Properly selected active ingredients not only do not interfere with sunscreens, but can actually enhance the effect of SPF for the face , support the skin in the fight against free radicals and prevent discoloration. Below I discuss a list of substances that are worth using in a serum or light cream under SPF in the summer - also in the context of daily antioxidant care. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid and derivatives) Vitamin C plays a key role in summer care - one of the best-studied and most effective antioxidants. In the form of ascorbic acid or its stable derivatives such as ethylated vitamin C, it neutralizes free radicals formed under the influence of UV radiation, and thus really supports the action of sunscreens. Regular use of a serum with vitamin C in the morning, under SPF for the face , not only strengthens the antioxidant protection of the skin, but also prevents discoloration and evens out the skin tone. This is an excellent choice for people with gray, tired skin prone to pigmentation irregularities - and at the same time an ideal base for a filter, because modern vitamin C formulas are light, watery and well absorbed. Niacinamide The second ingredient that is worth including in your morning routine before applying SPF to your face is niacinamide – also known as vitamin B3. This substance is famous for its versatility and very good skin tolerance. It has anti-inflammatory effects, regulates sebum secretion, strengthens the epidermal barrier and has a depigmenting effect – which is why it is especially recommended for people struggling with sun or acne discolorations. Niacinamide is also great for oily and combination skin, because it has a mattifying and soothing effect, which helps maintain comfort even on hot days. When combined with sunscreens, it creates a harmonious duo – it protects the skin from photodamage and at the same time supports its natural defense mechanisms. Hyaluronic acid (in various forms) We cannot forget about the ingredient that ensures the comfort of wearing SPF even on the hottest days – hyaluronic acid. This physiological humectant, naturally occurring in our skin, has the ability to bind water in the epidermis and maintain the appropriate level of hydration. Thanks to its lightness and compatibility with other ingredients, it is perfect for use under SPF for the face – it does not burden the complexion, does not interfere with filters and provides comfort throughout the day. Hyaluronic acid in various molecular forms (high- and low-molecular) effectively improves skin elasticity, reduces the feeling of tightness after applying the filter and facilitates the distribution of protective cosmetics. This is an inconspicuous but extremely important ingredient in summer care for all types of skin – including dry, reactive and mature skin. Plant antioxidants – a natural shield for the skin Schizandra Chinensis (Chinese Schisandra) - antioxidant shield Schisandra chinensis extract is a source of lignans and flavonoids – compounds with strong antioxidant properties. It protects the skin from environmental damage, improves its resistance to stress, and at the same time has soothing and anti-inflammatory effects. It is an excellent ingredient to use under SPF for the face in the summer , especially in conditions of urban smog and strong sunlight. Rhodiola Rosea (Rhodiola rosea) – an adaptogen that protects against cellular stress An adaptogenic root that acts as a biological shield – it helps the skin adapt to harsh environmental conditions, such as UV radiation, pollution and extreme temperatures. It has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, supports regeneration and slows down the aging process. Withania Somnifera (ashwagandha) – Ayurvedic antioxidant and soothing adaptogen Ashwagandha, known in Ayurveda, has a calming effect on skin stressed by the sun and external factors. The withanolides contained in the root have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and protective properties. It is a great choice under SPF for the face , especially for dry, reactive and dehydrated skin. Centella Asiatica (Asian Pennywort) – soothing and regenerating Asiatic pennywort has a soothing, regenerating and strengthening effect. Madecassoside and asiaticoside support the processes of epidermal regeneration, protect against oxidative stress and strengthen blood vessels. An ingredient recommended under SPF , especially in the care of vascular and sensitive skin. Formulas to avoid under face SPF Choosing the right care for your sunscreen is crucial not only for the comfort of wearing the product, but above all for the effectiveness of UV protection. Although SPF for the face is a pillar of the summer routine, not every product we apply under the filter works to its advantage. Some ingredients or formulas can reduce its stability, cause it to roll on the skin, or intensify imperfections and shine. It's worth knowing what to avoid - especially on hot, humid days, when the skin reacts more quickly to overload. The first category of ingredients to avoid under SPF are heavy emollients, i.e. fatty oils, butters and waxes, especially in high concentrations. Although they can be helpful in night-time regeneration, their application in the morning - under a cream with a filter - often ends with excessive shine, a sticky feeling or even clogging of pores. A heavy lipid layer can also interfere with the adhesion and distribution of the filter, leading to its uneven distribution and reduced effectiveness of sun protection. As a result, SPF for the face does not work as it should - and the comfort of wearing it drastically decreases. The second mistake is reaching for active cosmetics with exfoliating or irritating effects in the morning, especially those containing high concentrations of AHA and BHA acids, retinol or retinoids . Although these ingredients are great for evening care, in the morning they can increase the skin's sensitivity to UV radiation and increase the risk of discoloration. What's more, applying such preparations under SPF for the face in the middle of summer, without precise knowledge of their phototoxicity, can lead to micro-irritations, dryness and hyperreactivity of the skin. Another problem may be excessive layering of care – i.e. too many products before applying the filter. Although many people like comprehensive routines, applying several layers of serums, creams, oils and boosters can lead to the so-called "rolling" of SPF, i.e. its unsightly abrasion during the day. Additionally, it increases the risk of interaction of ingredients and destabilization of sun protection. In the summer, it is worth relying on the principle of "less is more" – one well-chosen active product and a light moisturizing cream will definitely be enough under SPF for the face . You should also avoid products with unpredictable compatibility with filters – especially cosmetics with strong silicones, highly pigmented or with a pronounced lifting effect (e.g. with a high content of filmformers). Although they often provide an “instant smoothing effect”, they can cause the facial SPF to roll or not combine well with makeup. Beautician's tip: If your sunscreen doesn't spread well, is heavy or leaves streaks - the problem may not be the SPF itself, but the care you applied beforehand. Sometimes it's enough to reduce the number of layers or change the cream formula to a lighter one to notice a huge difference in comfort and effectiveness of protection. How to apply SPF care step by step? For facial SPF to work effectively and provide the declared sun protection, not only its quality is crucial, but also the method of application and skin preparation. Every morning skincare routine should be well thought out, light and adapted to the current needs of the skin. Excessive products, poorly selected formulas or incorrect order can cause even the best sunscreen to fail to fulfill its function. Here's how to properly apply skincare under SPF - step by step. Start by thoroughly but gently cleansing your skin. In the summer, when sweating and sebum production increase, it is worth reaching for SLS-free cleansing foams or gels, which effectively remove the remains of night care without damaging the hydrolipid barrier. Cleansed skin absorbs active ingredients better and allows the filter to distribute evenly. The next step is toning – restoring the skin's natural pH after washing and gently moisturizing it. Choose toners or water essences with mild humectants, e.g. glycerin or aloe, which will prepare the skin to receive the serum. This step is often skipped, which is a pity – toning improves the absorption of subsequent cosmetics and minimizes the feeling of dryness after SPF, especially if you use mattifying filters. Next comes the serum – this is where you incorporate active ingredients that support sun protection, such as vitamin C, niacinamide, schisandra, ashwagandha or rhodiola rosea . Choose a serum with a light, water-gel formula – it will absorb quickly, will not burden the skin and will be an active base for facial SPF . The serum should be adapted to the skin type and its needs: antioxidant for mature skin, mattifying for oily skin, regenerating for sensitive skin. The next step is a moisturizer , although it is not always necessary. If your SPF contains moisturizers and has a comfortable consistency, you can use it without a previous cream. However, if you have dry, dehydrated skin or use a filter that tends to dry out, a light moisturizer (e.g. with hyaluronic acid, trehalose or algae) will be a great support. Just be careful not to overdo it with the number of layers - too rich a cream can cause the SPF for the face to roll. Finally, apply a sunscreen – preferably SPF 30 or SPF 50 , selected for your skin type (mineral or chemical, light fluid, cream-gel or emulsion). Apply it generously – the face requires about half a teaspoon of cream to achieve the level of protection declared by the manufacturer. Allow the SPF to absorb well before moving on to makeup or the next steps. Beautician's tip: Remember – proper SPF application is not only about choosing a good product, but also about consciously preparing your skin. With light, well-chosen active cosmetics and the right order of steps, SPF for the face will work effectively all day long – and you will avoid irritation, shine and discoloration. FAQ – the most frequently asked questions by patients at a beauty salon Choosing and properly applying SPF to your face is one of the most common topics during cosmetic consultations, especially in the spring and summer. Below you will find answers to questions that my patients regularly ask – maybe they will also dispel your doubts. Can facial SPF replace moisturizer? Yes, but not always. Many modern sunscreens contain moisturizing ingredients, but they are usually not enough in the summer. It is worth applying a water serum (for example, one of the SPF ampoule serums) or a light moisturizing cream (for example, a vitamin C cream or a tremella cream) beforehand. Should I use a serum or cream under SPF? It depends on the needs of the skin. If the filter itself is comfortable, the serum will be enough. For dry or irritated skin, it is worth adding a moisturiser. The most important thing is not to overload the skin with too many layers - the priority is for the SPF for the face to spread well and not roll. My patients praise the serum ampoules under the SPF. Can retinol be used in summer under SPF? Retinol itself is not photosensitizing, but it increases the skin's sensitivity to UV radiation, so its use in the summer requires great caution. If you continue the treatment, take care of regeneration, strong hydration and daily, high SPF protection for the face SPF 50. However, it is safest to limit retinoids to evening care, take a break in the summer season or choose Retinol H10 (hydrogenated), which is not irritating. Can I apply SPF directly to cleansed skin? Theoretically yes, but it is not an optimal solution. Skin without a moisturizing layer loses water faster, which can affect the comfort of wearing the filter. Even a thin layer of toner and a light serum can significantly improve the durability and quality of SPF application to the face . Why does SPF roll or wear off ? The most common reason is incompatibility with previous care – too greasy cream, too many silicones or layering too many products. It is worth testing different configurations and opting for minimalist, light formulas under the filter. Do I need to reapply SPF during the day if I'm not at the beach? Yes, if you are exposed to sunlight for many hours – even in the city. Facial SPF loses its effectiveness after a few hours, especially if you sweat, touch your face or wear makeup. Does SPF clog pores? Not everyone. Modern SPF formulas are becoming lighter, non-comedogenic and suited to different skin types. When choosing SPF for your face, pay attention to its composition – avoid heavy oils, waxes and comedogenic filters if you tend to have imperfections. However, always wash off SPF in the evening. The best solution to ensure no pore clogging is a two-step cleansing. First, a Makeup Removal Oil, then a foam or gel. How to combine SPF with makeup? After applying sunscreen, wait a few minutes for the product to absorb. Avoid rubbing and apply makeup gently – preferably with a sponge or fingers. SPF for the face in a light emulsion or cream-gel works well with mineral foundations and light BB creams. My Summary – Take Care of Your SPF Care and Your Skin Will Thank You Proper sun protection is more than just choosing a good filter. For facial SPF to be effective, it should be applied to properly prepared skin – moisturized, strengthened and protected from oxidative stress. It is worth taking care of light formulas, active antioxidant ingredients and avoiding cosmetics that may interfere with its action. As a beautician, I see how much of an impact your daily routine has on your skin's condition - especially in the summer. Proper care under SPF for your face not only increases the effectiveness of sun protection, but also reduces the formation of discolorations, wrinkles and dryness. The key is a conscious, consistent approach and avoiding random layers that don't cooperate with your skin - or the filter. If you want to choose the right products for SPF or need a light, effective antioxidant serum for the day – reach for proven solutions with natural ingredients and a light, gel base. The skin really needs less in the summer – but wisely selected. Check out the range of serums and creams under SPF available at Orientana – based on plant adaptogens and antioxidants, ideal for summer. Żaneta Pasierkiewicz - Orientana beautician
WHAT IS SERUM AMPOULE Ampoule serum is a type of cosmetic that combines the features of serum and ampoule, two popular care formulas used mainly in facial care. Ampoule serum differs from serum and is characterized by the following features: High concentration of active ingredients : Serum ampoules contain highly concentrated active ingredients, such as vitamins, peptides, hyaluronic acid, antioxidants and plant extracts. This makes them very effective in combating skin problems. Light consistency : The product usually has a light, quickly absorbed consistency that does not burden the skin, which is typical of both serums and ampoules. Intensive action : The serum-ampoule is designed to provide the skin with intensive support, for example in the form of hydration, regeneration or rejuvenation. Their action can be more concentrated and intensive than traditional serums and creams. Small packages : The ampoule often comes in a small package that can be used in one application – which is not good for the environment or in a package with a pipette for precise hygienic application. The serum-ampoule often comes in a similar form. Versatility : The serum ampoule can be used as an intensive treatment for specific skin problems, in combination with other serum ampoules on different skin areas or as a complement to daily care. Serum ampoule – active ingredients Serum ampoules have highly concentrated active ingredients. Below are the most important ones contained in four serum ampoules that address the most important skin problems. serum ampoule with Trehalose Hyaluronic acid The serum ampoule MOISTURIZATION contains two effective moisturizing ingredients. Trehalose is a natural disaccharide that plays a key role in protecting and moisturizing cells under environmental stress. It is particularly interesting in the context of skin care due to its protective and moisturizing properties. Moisturizing properties: Protection against dehydration : Trehalose has the ability to stabilize the structures of cell membranes and proteins, which prevents cell denaturation and dehydration. It acts as a "bioprotector", protecting skin cells from losing water in extreme conditions, such as dry air or high temperatures. Water-binding capacity : Trehalose can absorb water, which helps maintain the skin's moisture level. Studies have shown that trehalose can mimic the action of natural moisturizing factors (NMF), which is crucial for skin health and elasticity. Antioxidant effect : In addition to moisturizing, trehalose has antioxidant properties, which protects the skin from oxidative stress caused by free radicals, further supporting the health and youthful appearance of the skin. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is one of the most well-known and effective moisturizing ingredients used in cosmetics. It is naturally present in the human body, mainly in the skin, where it plays a key role in maintaining its moisture and elasticity. The moisturizing serum ampoule contains two types of hyaluronic acid: micromolecular and macromolecular. Moisturizing properties: Hygroscopicity : Hyaluronic acid has an exceptional ability to bind and retain water – one HA molecule can bind up to 1000 times more water than its mass. This makes it an extremely effective humectant that maintains skin hydration at an optimal level. Structural support for the skin : HA not only moisturizes, but also helps maintain the skin's structure by filling the intercellular spaces and creating a protective barrier that prevents transepidermal water loss (TEWL). This makes the skin firmer and more elastic. Supports skin regeneration : HA accelerates tissue regeneration, which is crucial for dry and damaged skin. Studies have shown that hyaluronic acid supports wound healing and skin cell regeneration, which further enhances the skin's ability to retain moisture. Serum Ampoule Moisturizing is the best dry skin solution for every skin type. SErum ampoule with ethylated vitamin c and tranexamic acid The main ingredients that work on the problem of discoloration are ethylated Vitamin C and tranexamic acid. Both ingredients are enclosed in the Serum Ampoule Brightening Ethyl vitamin C and tranexamic acid are two effective ingredients with skin lightening properties that work on different biological mechanisms. Both ingredients are well tolerated and have proven effectiveness in scientific studies, making them valuable elements in the care of skin with discolorations. Contained in the Serum Brightening Ampoule, they effectively reduce discolorations. Ethyl vitamin C** (3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid) is a stabilized form of vitamin C that is gaining popularity in skin care products due to its brightening and antioxidant properties. Traditional vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is effective but has limited stability, which can limit its effectiveness in cosmetics. The ethyl version of this vitamin is more stable, allowing it to work longer and penetrate the skin layers better. Brightening properties of ethyl vitamin C Inhibition of melanin production: Ethyl vitamin C works by inhibiting tyrosinase, a key enzyme in melanin synthesis, which leads to the reduction of discoloration and brightening of the complexion. Studies have shown that this compound effectively reduces the visibility of pigmentation spots and improves the overall skin tone. Antioxidant action: Ethyl vitamin C neutralizes free radicals that can lead to skin damage, including the formation of spots and uneven skin tone. Its antioxidant action also helps protect the skin from oxidative stress, which can exacerbate hyperpigmentation. Improves Collagen Synthesis: Vitamin C is essential for the synthesis of collagen, which helps in skin regeneration and reducing acne scars and other forms of discoloration, ultimately leading to a brighter and more even complexion. Tranexamic acid is a synthetic amino acid that has gained recognition as an effective skin lightening ingredient, particularly in the context of treating melasma and other forms of hyperpigmentation. Although originally used as an anti-bleeding agent, its skin care properties are now widely studied and utilized. Tranexamic acid brightening properties: Plasmin Inhibition: Tranexamic acid works by inhibiting plasmin activity in the skin, which reduces the production of prostaglandins and other inflammatory mediators that stimulate melanocytes to overproduce melanin. This action effectively lightens existing discolorations, especially in the case of melasma. Reduces redness and discoloration: Clinical studies have shown that tranexamic acid is effective in reducing redness and lightening dark spots. In studies conducted on patients with melasma, tranexamic acid, both topical and oral, showed significant improvement in reducing hyperpigmentation. Safety and effectiveness: Tranexamic acid is well tolerated by the skin and its effectiveness has been confirmed in various forms of application, including topical. This makes it an attractive alternative to other lightening agents, such as hydroquinone, which can cause irritation. Ethyl vitamin C and tranexamic acid, which contain Serum Ampoule Brightening, are two effective ingredients with skin brightening properties that work on different biological mechanisms. Ethyl vitamin C works mainly by inhibiting tyrosinase and antioxidant action, which leads to the reduction of discoloration and improvement of skin tone. Tranexamic acid, in turn, inhibits inflammatory processes that serum ampoule with ADAPTAGEN and niacinamide Centella asiatica, niacinamide and schisandra chinensis are antioxidant ingredients that are present in the Antioxidant Serum Ampoule Centella asiatica, niacinamide, and schisandra are three powerful ingredients that offer broad antioxidant benefits for the skin. Each of these ingredients has solid scientific support to prove their effectiveness in protecting and improving the condition of the skin. Asian Pennywort (Centella Asiatica) Asiatic pennywort, also known as **Centella asiatica** or gotu kola, is a plant with a broad spectrum of skin benefits, particularly valued for its antioxidant, regenerative and anti-inflammatory properties. CICA antioxidant properties: Active compound content: Centella asiatica contains active compounds such as asiaticoside, madecassoside and asiatic and madecassic acid, which have strong antioxidant properties. These compounds neutralize free radicals and protect skin cells from oxidative stress, which is one of the main causes of skin aging. Stimulation of collagen synthesis: Studies have shown that Centella asiatica can increase the production of type I collagen, which helps skin regenerate and improves its elasticity. This effect is supported by the antioxidant properties of the plant, which protect the skin from oxidative damage and photoaging. UV Protection: Centella asiatica also has the ability to protect the skin from UV damage, which is associated with the formation of free radicals. Centella asiatica extracts can reduce inflammation and limit skin damage caused by UV exposure. Niacinamide Niacinamide**, a form of vitamin B3, is a well-known ingredient in skin care, valued for its broad range of skin benefits, including strong antioxidant properties. Antioxidant properties: Free Radical Neutralization: Niacinamide is an effective antioxidant that helps neutralize free radicals that are formed in the skin due to exposure to pollution, UV radiation, and other environmental factors. This protects skin cells from oxidative stress, which can lead to skin aging and DNA damage. Reduces inflammation: Niacinamide has anti-inflammatory effects, which is especially beneficial for skin exposed to oxidative stress. Studies have shown that niacinamide can reduce redness and swelling associated with inflammatory responses while protecting cells from damage. Improves skin barrier function: Niacinamide supports the skin barrier function, which increases its resistance to harmful external factors, including those causing oxidative stress. It works by increasing the synthesis of ceramides and other lipids, which contributes to better moisture retention and protection against damage. Schisandra Chinensis Another active ingredient of the Antioxidant Ampoule Serum is Schisandra chinensis, an adaptogenic plant known for its wide range of health benefits, including strong antioxidant properties that have a positive effect on the skin. Antioxidant properties: Active compounds: Schisandra chinensis is rich in lignans, such as schisandrins, which have strong antioxidant properties. These lignans protect skin cells from damage caused by free radicals and support cell regeneration. Protection against oxidative stress: Studies have shown that Schisandra chinensis extract can increase the skin's ability to defend itself against oxidative stress, which helps reduce wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and reduce the signs of skin aging. Effect on skin microcirculation: Schisandra chinensis can also improve skin microcirculation, which leads to better oxygenation and nourishment of skin cells. This action supports skin detoxification and its natural regenerative processes, which, combined with antioxidant properties, leads to a healthier and more radiant appearance of the skin. Serum ampoule with peptides and coenzyme Q10 The Rejuvenating Ampoule Serum is characterized by active ingredients such as Peptides and Coenzyme Q10 These are two effective anti-aging ingredients that work on the skin in different, complementary ways. Both ingredients have solid scientific evidence to support their anti-aging properties. Peptides Peptides are short chains of amino acids that are the basic building blocks of proteins such as collagen, elastin and keratin, which are key to healthy, youthful skin. In cosmetology, peptides are valued for their anti-aging properties, which result from their ability to stimulate collagen production, improve skin structure and have anti-wrinkle effects. Rejuvenating properties: Stimulation of collagen production: Peptides such as matrikines (e.g. palmitoyl pentapeptide-4) can activate fibroblasts, the cells responsible for collagen production in the skin. Studies have shown that applying peptides to the skin can increase collagen synthesis, leading to improved skin firmness and elasticity and wrinkle reduction. Reduces expression lines: Some peptides, such as argireline (acetyl hexapeptide-8), work similarly to Botox by blocking nerve signals to muscles, which results in relaxing facial muscles and reducing expression lines. Studies confirm that regular use of products containing such peptides can result in visible smoothing of the skin Skin Barrier Strengthening: Peptides also help to regenerate the skin barrier, which is crucial for maintaining moisture and protection from harmful external factors. A strengthened skin barrier promotes healthy, younger-looking skin. Coenzyme Q10 Coenzyme Q10** (CoQ10), also known as ubiquinone, is a natural compound found in every cell in the body that plays a key role in cellular energy production and acts as a powerful antioxidant. In cosmetology, CoQ10 is valued for its anti-aging properties, resulting from protecting skin cells from oxidative stress and supporting skin regeneration. Rejuvenating properties: Free Radical Neutralization: CoQ10 is a powerful antioxidant that protects skin cells from free radical damage. This damage can accelerate the aging process of the skin, leading to wrinkles and loss of elasticity. Studies show that CoQ10 can reduce oxidative stress in the skin, which promotes a more youthful appearance. Improved mitochondrial function: CoQ10 is essential for the production of ATP, the energy source for cells. As we age, CoQ10 levels in the skin decline, leading to a decline in energy production in skin cells. CoQ10 supplementation, either oral or topical, can improve mitochondrial function, which helps skin regenerate and reduce the signs of aging. Wrinkle Reduction and Improved Elasticity Regular use of cosmetics containing CoQ10 has been shown to reduce wrinkle depth and improve skin elasticity. Clinical studies confirm that CoQ10 applied topically can significantly improve the appearance of the skin, reducing signs of aging such as wrinkles and loss of firmness. Summary It is worth reaching for highly concentrated but safe for the skin active ingredients in serum ampoules. This is a modern cosmetic, with a very comfortable consistency, is easily absorbed and above all gives spectacular results. It will be a good solution for people struggling with various skin problems, because you can treat the part of the face covered by, for example, dryness with the Serum ampoule MOISTURIZATION and for the part of the skin with discoloration, the Serum Ampoule BRIGHTENING will be useful. So you can combine several ampoules in an interesting way.
