Its smooth texture—boosted by honey, hazelnut protein, natural sea kelp and sodium hyaluronate—leaves the skin moisturized yet oil-free. The serum can be used alone for more oily skin or combined with a moisturizer for dryer skin types. It's ideal for use following chemical peels or microdermabrasion treatments, thanks to its skin-soothing properties and antioxidant ingredients, such as pomegranate extract.
