Calming Renewal Serum

Yes, it pairs well with active treatments and is often used specifically to help calm skin that’s adjusting to a new active ingredient. Apply your treatment product first, then follow with this serum to help soothe and support the skin barrier.

Most face oils rely on one or two ingredients for their benefit. This formula combines four nourishing carrier oils with six botanical extracts drawn from Ayurvedic and K-Beauty traditions, so it’s doing more calming and antioxidant work than a simple single-oil product.

The formula is built to absorb into skin rather than sit on the surface, and none of the oils used here are considered highly comedogenic. That said, everyone’s skin responds differently to oil-based products, so if you’re prone to congestion, start with a small amount and see how your skin responds over the first week or two.

It can work as a standalone treatment or layered under a moisturizer, depending on your skin’s needs. Drier or more mature skin often benefits from both, while normal to oily skin may find this serum alone is enough.

Yes. While this is an oil-based serum, several of its ingredients, including Hemp Seed Oil, are formulated to help support skin’s barrier without feeling heavy, and the formula is designed to absorb rather than sit on the surface.

Calming Renewal Serum is an excellent product to use after you exfoliate the skin. It will help calm any redness that may have appeared after exfoliation and saturate your skin with plant oils for a radiant glow.

Essential fatty acids (EFAs) are incredibly beneficial for the skin for several reasons: Hydration and Moisturizing: EFAs are key components in the skin’s lipid layer. They help to lock moisture into the skin, keeping it hydrated. Proper hydration is essential for maintaining the skin’s elasticity and softness. Barrier Function: The skin’s lipid barrier is crucial in preventing water loss and protecting against harmful substances and environmental stressors. Essential fatty acids strengthen this barrier, helping to maintain the integrity of the skin. Anti-Inflammatory Properties: EFAs, particularly omega-3 fatty acids, have anti-inflammatory properties. They can help in reducing redness and inflammation. Regulation of Oil Production: Essential fatty acids can help to regulate the skin’s oil production, which can be beneficial for both dry and oily skin types. For dry skin, it aids in natural oil production, and for oily skin, it can help in preventing overproduction of sebum.
