Our Daisy 5% Facial Serum lives up to our expectations for brightening and lightening serums: natural, effective, safe, and contains no additives or fillers, or hard to understand ingredients. This serum addresses dull, lifeless skin and also helps to lighten dark spots and revive photo-aged skin. White Daisy extract and Nopal Cactus Extract will leave your skin feeling hydrated, refreshed, and rejuvenated. You'll feel as though your skin has woken up from a deep, long sleep.
We have worked diligently to make sure we address issues such as hyper-pigmentation, dark spots, melasma, acne pigmentation, redness, and dull, lifeless skin. We have also worked endlessly to assure all of the products we offer to address these issues are safe for the consumer, and we use natural actives to balance and compliment the skin rather than harsh chemicals and additives.
Tips for Routine Incorporation
We highly suggest you use this product after using an AHA acid, such as Mandelic acid or one of the AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) tonics we offer. This helps to exfoliate the skin of dead, gummy skin cells allowing the best possible penetration of this serum and its actives.
Method of Application Apply two times a day during the water soluble phase of your routine (after you cleanse, tone, and exfoliate...before you apply any oils, creams, balms, or lotions).
Shelf Life and Storage Information for Products and Ingredients
Finished Products generally don't need to be refrigerated as they are preserved, but you can refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. The shelf life for most products is 9-12 months. Vitamin C Serum(s) and VitaResurface products should continually be refrigerated to extend their shelf life.
Sample Sizes do have a shorter shelf life (generally 3-6 months) , and items in jars can dry up quicker than this if the lid is not tightened well enough (except for our Vitamin C Serums - use within 90 days).
Please keep your products out of humidity, heat, direct light and in a dark cabinet when possible.
Exfoliating Acid products have a shelf life of 9-12 months. The only things we don't suggest refrigerating are the Mandelic Acid Serums or Salicylic Acid Serums, as they can crystallize in the refrigerator. If this happens, you can set the product into a hot water bath to see if the crystals will dissolve.
Additional Items That Require Refrigeration and/or Kept in the Dark
Hydrosols - remove 1 ounce of hydrosol and add it into a separate, sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator. Carrier Oils - generally, you can refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take it out, warm it up at room temperature and it should liquefy. If not, set the bottle in a hot water bath and occasionally shake the bottle, which will hopefully turn into a liquid. ^There are some oils with a super long shelf life, like Coconut Cream and Jojoba Oil. Refrigeration is not necessary, but it surely won't hurt. Essential Oils - essential oils are best stored in a cool, dark place. Co2 Extracts - these should continually be refrigerated. Butters - we suggest refrigerating our "skincare' butters. You can remove what you need and keep the rest in the fridge. Clays - keep in a dry, dark place. Shelf life is at least 2 years. Herbs - all herbs (whole or ground) should be kept in a dark, cool and dry location. Herbal (liquid) Extracts - these are created using alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents from each herb—root, trunk, leaves, and flowers. Extracts have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be kept in the refrigerator (or a dark DRY place) Other Raw Ingredients - i.e., Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc. will all have a different shelf life.
Hyaluronic Acid hydrates skin, holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water
Liposome Base penetration enhance, liposomes frequently favor the disposition of encapsulated active ingredients in the epidermis and dermis, while the permeation rate is decreased. This helps to fix active ingredients to the outermost skin layers as desired for cosmetic products. Simultaneously, the washing out may be delayed so that, for example, aqueous sun care products containing liposome-encapsulated UV filters are water-resistant.
