Ectoin 3% Serum 30ml

A moisture magnet from the desert: 3% high-concentration Ectoin serum

Formulated with 30,000 ppm (3%) of ectoin, a natural molecule produced by microorganisms to protect themselves in extreme desert conditions. Often called "the next niacinamide," ectoin is a rising star in skincare that shields skin from external stressors and helps calm irritation. The watery, transparent liquid texture absorbs quickly while locking in long-lasting hydration.

From moisture absorption to skin texture care

Lightweight in feel, yet deeply hydrating in performance. Glycerin draws moisture into the skin to soften and smooth, while ethylhexylglycerin, derived from coconut and palm, supports lasting moisture retention. It also targets dark spots caused by UV exposure and helps refine rough, uneven texture. Fragrance-free, so it's gentle enough for those sensitive to scent.

For oily, combination, and sensitive skin stressed by external aggressors

Ideal if your skin's oil-moisture balance is off or you want to protect against oxidative stress. After toner, dispense one to two pumps and gently pat into the entire face until absorbed. In the morning, one layer is enough. In the evening, feel free to layer two to three times for extra hydration. However, avoid using it with acid-based products like retinol, as this may cause irritation. Best used on its own.

After toner, before cream — in the serum step

In your skincare routine, serum sits between toner and moisturizer. Apply it right after your toner has absorbed to help ectoin strengthen the skin barrier and lock in hydration more effectively.

Morning and evening use

The lightweight, watery texture layers beautifully under makeup in the morning. In the evening, you can apply 2–3 layers for an extra moisture boost. Always follow with SPF during the day.

1–2 pumps, pressed in gently

Dispense 1–2 pumps into your palms and smooth evenly across your face, following the natural texture of your skin. Pat gently with your palms to help it absorb. It finishes hydrating without any sticky residue. On particularly dry days, layer it without worrying about shine.

Routine pairings by skin concern

• Dry, rough skin: After a deeply hydrating toner, layer this serum 2–3 times, then seal with a moisture cream
• Frequent sun exposure: Use this serum in the morning, then apply SPF thoroughly to help protect against oxidative stress
• Sensitive or compromised barrier: Keep it simple — pair this serum with a gentle cream and skip anything potentially irritating

Use with caution alongside retinol

Avoid layering with retinol or other acid-based products, as this may cause irritation. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your healthcare provider before use. Store in a cool place away from direct sunlight. Discontinue use if redness or itching occurs.
