We have compiled the most frequently asked questions about this serum and are here to answer them...
As a product designed to balance excessive sebum production, will it dry out my skin?
No, the formula helps balance sebum production by providing deep hydration to the skin.
What is epilobium?
The star ingredient in this serum is epilobium extract, a plant rich in the antioxidant Oenothein B, which inhibits the activity of 5 Alpha-Reductase, the enzyme responsible for sebum production. It also contains a large amount of flavonoids that are very soothing for the skin.
I have oily skin, is it suitable for me?
Yes, the serum is completely oil-free and has been designed to provide the epidermis with an optimal level of hydration, as combination and oily skin is actually dehydrated. This serum provides the skin with the perfect dose of balanced hydration.
Can I combine it with another serum?
Yes, it is a very versatile product. In summer or when my skin needs a lighter texture, I combine it with the Ideal Brightening Corrective Serum.
How many times a day should I use it?
I suggest using it twice a day as studies on the ingredients have been based on twice-daily application. If you want to combine it with other serums and prefer to use it only once a day, I recommend applying it at night, so it has all night to do its job.
How does it compare to the Ideal Moisture Level Serum?
Both are hyaluronic acid-based serums with the same dose of saccharide isomerate, which acts as a water magnet for the skin. In addition, the Ideal Moisture Level Serum contains more plant-derived sugars with water-retaining capacity and forms a protective film. On the other hand, the Ideal Rebalancing Level Serum is also very hydrating, but its active ingredients focus more on balancing excessive sebum production.
Is it only suitable for young skin?
No, not at all. Sebum production is also related to hormonal activity, so I have many customers between 50 and 60 years old who use it and love it.
Can I use it as a makeup base?
Yes, it prepares the skin for makeup without any residue.
My husband always takes it! Can I tell him it's not a product for men?
Unfortunately, no! Your husband probably loves it because men have more androgens (male hormones) that stimulate sebum production, so they often see very quick improvement when they apply the serum. In addition, men love it for how quickly it absorbs. The good news is that you only need to apply a small amount, so maybe you can encourage him to use less!
