Hello! Is the shelf life of 3 months for creams and 6 months for serums determined based on the preservatives used or as a result of personal experimental tests? How is this duration of optimal use determined? Thank you! Geanina

Hello Catalina, You can substitute the two oils. Instead of vitamin E we recommend 0.2% rosemary antioxidant extract. Have a sunny day!

Hi Cristina, On average, 1 drop is 0.03 gr, so 8 drops are recommended for 0.23 gr.

Hi Oana, The skin under the eyes is particularly thin and sensitive, and even though vitamin C has the power to brighten dark circles, if you have sensitive skin, you'd be wise to be cautious when it comes to vitamin C eye cosmetics. A safe bet is to apply products that use a milder form of vitamin C. Yes, it can be fortified with 0.1% astaxanthin.

Hello, As there are no aqueous components in this serum, the pH cannot be measured.

Thank you for your reply and for your kindness. I learn a lot from you and with you! One question: why is not recommended vit. C for the eye area? De asemenea, serul se poate imbogati cu astaxanthin? If yes, in what percentage? Thank you very much ! A sunny day

Hello Oana, Although this serum is very gentle on the skin, it is generally not recommended to apply cosmetics with a vitamin C content to the eye area. Yes, it can be used on a complexion with mild couperose. Although this serum does not require the use of sunscreen products it is optional.

Hello ! Can it be used in the eye area? But on a skin with a light couperose? Is sun protection necessary after applying this serum? Thanks in advance for your answer.
