Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use it under makeup?
Yes. The lightweight texture absorbs quickly and leaves skin hydrated without feeling greasy, making it a smooth base under makeup.
Can I use this face oil if I have oily or combination skin?
Yes. Although it's an oil serum, it has a lightweight, fast-absorbing texture that doesn't feel heavy. It helps support the skin barrier without clogging pores, making it suitable for most skin types, including combination skin.
Can I use this serum in the morning and under sunscreen?
Yes. This serum is designed for daytime protection against blue light and environmental stressors. It layers smoothly under sunscreen and makeup without pilling, making it ideal for daily AM use.
Can I use this serum with other active ingredients like Vitamin C or acids?
Yes. This serum works well alongside most actives. Use it after water-based serums (like Vitamin C or niacinamide) and before heavier creams. Its antioxidant-rich formula can help support the skin barrier and reduce irritation from stronger actives.
Can this replace my retinol?
No. Retinol and this serum work differently. Our Prickly Pear Antioxidant Face Serum offers retinoid-like skin renewal support through bioactive ingredients, helping improve skin clarity and support natural cell turnover without the irritation commonly associated with retinoids. It can also be a gentle alternative for those avoiding retinol.
Does blue light from screens really affect skin?
Yes. Prolonged exposure to blue light (HEV light) from screens can trigger oxidative stress in the skin, which contributes to dullness, premature ageing, and weakened barrier function. This serum forms a carotenoid-rich botanical shield to help defend against that damage.
How long does it take to see results?
Skin works in cycles, so results build over time:
- 30 days: Skin feels calmer, more hydrated, barrier begins to reset
- 60 days: Improved texture, balance, and clarity
- 90 days: Skin appears more radiant, resilient, and visibly renewed
Is this serum suitable for humid climates like Singapore?
Yes. The formula is lightweight, fast-absorbing, and non-greasy, making it suitable for humid weather. It delivers hydration and antioxidant protection without feeling heavy on the skin.
What does this serum actually do for my skin?
This serum is designed for modern-day skin stress. It helps protect against blue light, pollution, and environmental damage while supporting hydration, barrier repair, and natural cell turnover. Over time, skin appears clearer, more balanced, and visibly more radiant.
