Lovi Assistant explains

  • Suitable for normal skin due to the presence of glycerin and sodium hyaluronate, which provide humectant action to hydrate the skin, this formulation offers moderate skin brightening due to the presence of niacinamide in moderate concentrations for evening skin tone.
  • While it provides general skincare benefits like hydration, these are mostly supportive and not directly targeted at your wrinkles and fine lines.
  • The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation for your normal skin due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.

How to apply

  • Use this serum in your PM routine. Start by applying it 3 times a week, and work up to daily use if your skin likes it.
  • Apply this serum after your toner and before your moisturizer.
  • Gently press 2-3 drops of the serum into your skin and let it absorb for a minute.
  • You can apply the serum on dry skin for the best results against fine lines.
  • Always do a patch test before your first use and avoid the sensitive eye area.

Questions and answers

How well does 111SKIN Rose Gold Radiance Booster work for mature skin?

This treatment works for mature skin, though other products fit it better because its benefits are mostly supportive rather than directly targeted at wrinkles and fine lines. Products of this type that fit mature skin best need high concentrations of potent antioxidants, peptides, and skin-repairing ingredients to effectively address fine lines and improve skin elasticity.

Scientific Reports, 2024

Which ingredients make this serum a good fit for mature skin?

Niacinamide and sodium hyaluronate help make this serum a fit for mature skin by hydrating and evening out your skin tone. However, because it lacks targeted ingredients for wrinkles and fine lines, a treatment for mature skin needs potent antioxidants, peptides, and skin-repairing ingredients to improve elasticity and firmness.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017Scientific Reports, 2024

What does Niacinamide do for mature skin?

Niacinamide helps mature skin by smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles, reducing dark spots, and improving overall skin elasticity. It is also very well tolerated and supports a strong skin barrier to keep skin looking healthy.

Antioxidants, 2021Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2004

What does Rosa Damascena Flower Water do for mature skin?

Rosa Damascena Flower Water helps soothe mature skin and provides antioxidant benefits that protect against daily wear. It supports a smoother look and helps keep skin feeling soft and comfortable.

Skin Research and Technology, 2024Phytomedicine, 2021

Where does it go in a skincare routine for mature skin?

This treatment goes in the evening routine before your moisturizer. Mature skin needs products with targeted anti-aging ingredients like retinoids, peptides, or concentrated antioxidants to properly smooth fine lines and wrinkles.

Can I use this serum with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this serum with retinol by applying the serum first and following with your retinol product. It is unlikely to cause irritation due to its gentle formula, but mature skin also benefits from ingredients that directly target wrinkles and fine lines.

How often should I use it?

You can use this treatment in the evening as part of your routine. It is unlikely to cause irritation for your mature skin.

Can this serum clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for mature skin?

This serum is unlikely to clog pores, cause breakouts, or lead to purging on mature skin because it has an excellent safety profile without harsh ingredients. It helps hydrate and brighten your skin, but a product for mature skin also needs ingredients directly targeted at reducing wrinkles and fine lines.

Is it fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (parfum).
