We love it when you ask us questions! And this question about the difference between serums and the Ultra Revitalising Elixir seemed so valid to us that we decided to elaborate on the answer in an explanatory post.
AN ELIXIR FOR THE SKIN
The Ultra Revitalising Elixir is much more concentrated than traditional toners. Water and alcohol (historical ingredients in these preparations) have been replaced by a mallow extract, 100 times richer in functional substances than its corresponding distilled water, hence its efficacy and immediate results. In addition to being a great ally in combating the effects of blue light emitted by electronic devices, its active ingredients also help re-balance the skin's pH after cleansing (super important! as it tends to increase after this step) and help your skin recover its elasticity, hydration, and above all, its 'glow'. This combination of ingredients mimics NMF (Natural Moisturizing Factor) due to its ability to retain water. Thanks to its spray format, it allows for convenient re-application throughout the day and even when you're out, ensuring your face is always soothed and your skin barrier is as strong as possible.
Pedro says "It's an easy and quick way to provide antioxidants to the skin. Living in an area with high atmospheric humidity helps me maintain optimal hydration as it contains several humectants, reducing the dreaded transepidermal water loss, a more frequent phenomenon during the summer."
A SERUM FOR EVERY NEED
The difference between serums and the Ultra Revitalising Elixir is that, from a formulation standpoint, serums are vehicles capable of containing a high concentration of different functional substances, designed to direct our skin towards a more specific goal. They are usually formulated with one ingredient in mind or with an action in which different molecules act in synergy.
Pedro says "There are days when we wake up with drier skin, other days with excess oil in certain areas, with a blemish or loss of tone... And that's where serums come in. These are, in short, the answers to what concerns us about our skin. In addition, their carefully crafted formulas allow us to obtain visible results while providing long-term benefits."
Pedro reminds us "A facial mist does not replace serum or cream, and creams and serums do not replace a facial mist either, so it is advisable to listen to your skin and add the necessary steps to your routine."
