Q: Is this a face oil or a hyaluronic acid serum?
Serenitee is a waterless face oil containing oil-dispersed Sodium Hyaluronate. It brings hyaluronic acid into an oil-based routine, with a silky botanical finish rather than the texture of a conventional water-based serum.
Q: How does the formula support the skin barrier?
The botanical oils help soften the skin and reduce moisture loss. Used as part of your routine, the formula supports moisture retention and a more comfortable-feeling complexion.
Q: What makes the formula waterless?
It is formulated without added water and is preservative-free. Its botanical oils provide the base for the oil-dispersed Sodium Hyaluronate. Waterless describes the formula format; both waterless and water-based products can have a place in a skincare routine.
Q: Does it contain ceramides or retinol?
The ingredient list does not include added ceramides or retinol. Serenitee's focus is botanical oil conditioning and moisture retention. You can use it alongside a moisturizer that suits your skin.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive or redness-prone skin?
The formula is designed for dry, sensitive and redness-prone skin, but tolerance is individual. It contains Blue Tansy essential oil and has a natural botanical scent. Check the full ingredient list and patch test before use, especially if your skin reacts to botanical oils.
Q: Can I use it if I have rosacea?
Serenitee is a cosmetic face oil for moisturizing and improving the appearance of dry-looking skin; it is not a rosacea treatment. If you have rosacea or frequent reactions, ask your dermatologist whether this botanical formula fits your routine.
Q: Can I use it with retinol?
It can be a moisturizing step in a routine that includes retinol, provided your skin tolerates both products. Follow the instructions for your retinol, and do not apply new products to skin that is painful or actively irritated. After professional treatments, follow your clinician's aftercare advice.
Q: Should I use the oil before or after moisturizer?
For Serenitee's routine, apply the oil first and follow with moisturizer as needed. You can add a light finishing layer of oil over your cream when you want more emollience. Alternatively, mix 2-3 drops into one application of moisturizer.
Q: Does no added fragrance mean it has no scent?
No. The botanical ingredients give the formula a natural herbaceous aroma. No added fragrance does not mean essential-oil-free.
Q: What do the consumer-study results show?
They describe participants' self-reported experience of hydration and visible redness during a four-week study. You can read the questions, usage schedule and methodology on our Consumer Study page. Read the Consumer Study.
Q: Is it suitable during pregnancy?
Every pregnancy is unique. Show the full ingredient list to your healthcare professional before adding this botanical formula to your routine.
Q: Is the formula vegan and cruelty-free?
Yes. The formula contains no animal-derived ingredients, and Serenitee does not test on animals.
Q: How should I store the oil?
Store in a cool, dark place. Shelf life is 24 months unopened; use within 6 months of opening.
