During the essence/serum step in your skincare routine
Use after toner to prep the skin, and before your moisturizer. The mildly acidic pH 4.5 formula helps restore a healthy pH environment for sensitized skin. It's designed to be gentle enough to use right after professional treatments like laser procedures or chemical peels, making it an ideal first serum for irritated skin.
Suitable for morning and evening use
You can use it daily, any time of day. It's especially helpful when your skin is temporarily flushed after exercise, reacting to seasonal changes, or feeling sensitive from trying a new product. Because it maintains a mildly acidic pH for 12 hours, applying it in the morning protects your skin throughout the day, while evening application supports your skin barrier overnight.
Dispense with the dropper and apply gently
Use the dropper to dispense 2–3 drops into your palm. Apply first to areas prone to redness — cheeks, forehead, chin — then gently spread across the entire face. The lightweight, hydrating texture absorbs without stickiness and delivers a cooling, soothing sensation to skin that feels warm or irritated.
Recommended routine for sensitive skin
For enhanced soothing benefits, start with Aestura A-Cica 365 Hydration Toner pH4.5 to prep the skin, follow with this serum, then seal it in with Aestura A-Cica 365 Repair Cream pH4.5. On days when your skin needs extra calming, you can also use a cooling soothing pad before applying the serum.
