POWER Day Serum 3% THD Ascorbate (Vit C) & 1% Tocopherol (Vit E)

What is THD (Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate) Vitamin C?

Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate is a stable form of Vitamin C



What does THD Ascorbate Vitamin C do for the skin?

It is known for its skin-lightening properties and can help minimise the appearance of hyperpigmentation. It also acts as an antioxidant, addressing issues like dullness, sensitivity, wrinkles, dehydration, uneven tone, and premature fine lines.



Why use THD Ascorbate Vitamin C instead of Ascorbic Acid?

THD Ascorbate Vitamin C is more stable and penetrates the skin more effectively than plain ascorbic acid, which can be more irritating to the skin. THD Ascorbate Vitamin C therefore reduces the risk of irritation. In addition, ‘Less is more’ as it also penetrates the epidermis three-fold compared to ascorbic acid, so you can use less with even greater results.



Are there specific benefits proven for THD Ascorbate Vitamin C?

Yes, THD Ascorbate Vitamin C has been shown to reduce UV-induced skin pigmentation, age spots, and increase collagen synthesis.



Are there any harsh chemicals or preservatives in this product?

No, our Power Serum is free from harsh chemicals and contains a natural preservative for product safety.



What does Vitamin E (Tocopherol) do for the skin?

Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals and environmental stressors, such as UV radiation and pollution. In the context of this serum, Vitamin E works in conjunction with Vitamin C (Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate) to enhance its stability and effectiveness as an antioxidant. This combination can provide significant protection against oxidative stress, reduce the risk of premature aging, and contribute to overall skin health.



Can I use this serum with other skincare products?

Yes, this serum can be incorporated into your existing skincare routine. It is recommended to apply it after cleansing and toning but before moisturising.

However, it can potentially interact negatively with other serums or skincare products containing certain ingredients if applied at the same time. It's important to be aware of these potential incompatibilities to ensure that you are not compromising its effectiveness.

Products which contain Niacinamide, Retinol (Vitamin A), Peptides, Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) and Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs) & Benzoyl Peroxide may impact the efficacy of the POWER Serum if used at the same time. We recommend using EMIKO POWER Serum in the day time and EMIKO BOOST Serum as a night serum (with Bakuchiol & Seaweed - a natural alternative to retinol.)



Will this block my pores?

Organic Jojoba oil is used in POWER Serum which closely resembles the natural sebum produced by the skin and is deemed non-comodegenic so less likely to clog pores. It is well-tolerated by many skin types, including those with acne-prone or sensitive skin & is often used to balance the skin.



How often should I use this serum?

Apply this once a day as a day serum. (Use in conjunction with BOOST as a natural retinol alternative, night serum).



Is this serum suitable for all skin types?

Yes, but if you have specific skin concerns or sensitivities, it's a good idea to do a patch test or consult with a dermatologist.



Does POWER contain essential oils?

No.



Does this product provide sun protection?

This serum is not a substitute for sunscreen. It may offer some protection due to the presence of Vitamin C and E, but it's essential to use a dedicated sunscreen for proper sun protection.

BOOST Night Serum Bakuchiol & Seaweed

What is Bakuchiol, and how does it benefit my skin?

Bakuchiol is found in the leaves and seeds of the Psoralea corylifolia plant & is a natural alternative to retinol, which can often be irritating to the skin. Bakuchiol is a potent antioxidant; it stimulates collagen production and helps minimise fine lines.



When and how should I use BOOST serum?

Apply the serum on damp skin to your face, neck, and décolletage in the evening as part of your night time skincare routine, after cleansing & toning & before moisturising.



Can I use BOOST Serum on sensitive skin?

Yes, Bakuchiol is known for being gentle on the skin, making it suitable for those with sensitive skin types.



Is this product suitable for all skin types?

The serum is formulated with a focus on organic and natural ingredients and is generally suitable for a wide range of skin types.



Can I use this serum with other skincare products?

Yes, this serum can be incorporated into your existing skincare routine. It is recommended to apply it after cleansing and toning but before moisturising.

However, it can potentially interact negatively with other serums or skincare products containing certain ingredients if applied at the same time. It's important to be aware of these potential incompatibilities to ensure that you are not compromising it's effectiveness.

Products which contain, AHAs like glycolic acid and lactic acid & BHAs like salicylic acid which also have exfoliating properties should be used cautiously alongside Bakuchiol to prevent over-exfoliation and irritation.

Also, seek advice when using prescription medications & strong retinoids (Retin-A, Tretinoin). Using abrasive scrubs, physical exfoliants or chemical exfoliants can be too harsh when combined with Bakuchiol. Opt for gentler exfoliation methods, such as MATCHA Face Mask & YUZU Cleansing Scrub.

Using Vitamin C and Bakuchiol at the same time is not recommended. For efficacy, we recommend using BOOST Serum in the evening and POWER Serum (Vitamin C/E Serum) in the morning.



What is cylindrotheca Fusiformis & why is it in BOOST?

This is seaweed, highly concentrated in carotenoids shown to stimulate fibroblasts to synthesize collagen and elastin, smoothing deep lines. It also has essential fatty acids and sterols that has an impressive effect on the skin. EcoCert approved ethanol is used to make an extraction of Cylindrotheca Fusiformis which is an oceanic marine algae. Because of the risk of pollution in the seas, the producer grows the micro algae in a purpose built eco facility. This not only guarantees purity of the algae but also means that the eco balance of the oceans are not disturbed by uncontrolled harvesting.
