Green Caviar Facial Serum 30ml: Hydrating marine elasticity serum skinChemists - The Cosmeceutical Skincare Company. Award-winning British luxury skincare with pharmacy roots reaching back to 1955. High-performance actives in routines that take just two minutes. Why you'll love it Skin feels more elastic and resilient, supported by amino-acid-rich Green Caviar Fine lines look plumped and softened by Sodium Hyaluronate drawing water into the surface The complexion looks brighter straight after application, thanks to light-diffusing Mica Skin feels calm and comfortable, soothed by Aloe Vera and Allantoin A weightless, oil-free texture that layers under anything without pilling Green Caviar is a marine algae, so the whole formula is vegan A single hydrating step that suits every skin type What it is A hydrating serum built on Caulerpa Lentillifera Extract, better known as Green Caviar - a sea grape harvested in South East Asia, named for its clusters of small translucent spheres. It has nothing to do with fish roe, which is the assumption most people make. What makes it useful in skincare is its composition: it is naturally rich in amino acids and minerals that support the skin's elasticity. Amino acids are the building blocks the skin uses for its own structural proteins, and supplying them at the surface supports a more resilient, better-conditioned complexion. Sodium Hyaluronate handles hydration, drawing water into the upper layers for an immediate plumping effect on fine lines. Glycerin adds a second humectant route, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder and Allantoin soothe, and Mica gives an immediate light-diffusing brightness. Key ingredients Caulerpa Lentillifera Extract (Green Caviar) A marine sea grape naturally rich in amino acids and minerals. It supports the skin's elasticity and helps the complexion feel more resilient. Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid) A form of hyaluronic acid that attracts and holds moisture at the skin's surface, creating an immediate plumping effect on fine lines. Glycerin A moisture-binding humectant that works alongside the hyaluronic acid to keep skin hydrated and comfortable. Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder & Allantoin Two soothing ingredients that keep skin calm, making the formula suitable for sensitive skin. Mica A light-diffusing mineral that gives an immediate brightening, soft-focus finish. Who it's for This serum is ideal for anyone whose skin feels dehydrated or has begun to lose elasticity, and who wants a simple, well-tolerated hydrating step. It suits every skin type, including oily and combination, since the formula is oil-free. Because it contains no Retinol, acids or strong actives, it is a sensible choice for sensitive skin and for anyone building a first routine. It also layers comfortably with a Retinol or acid used elsewhere, where a reliable hydrator matters more than a second active. What to expect Skin feels hydrated within seconds and looks brighter immediately, with a soft-focus finish from the Mica. Dehydration lines appear softer within a day or two. The elasticity benefits from Green Caviar are cumulative, typically becoming noticeable over four to eight weeks of twice-daily use. How to use Apply three to four drops to clean, slightly damp skin morning and evening. Slightly damp skin matters with hyaluronic acid - it gives the humectant water to draw on. Press over the face and neck and allow it to absorb, then follow with your moisturizer to seal the hydration in. Finish with SPF in the morning. Apply before heavier serums or oils.

It is Caulerpa Lentillifera, a sea grape harvested in South East Asia, named for its clusters of small translucent spheres. It has nothing to do with fish roe. Is it vegan? Yes. Green Caviar is a marine algae, not an animal product, and there are no animal-derived ingredients in the formula. Should I apply it to damp skin? Yes. Hyaluronic acid works best on slightly damp skin, because it needs water to draw on. Do I need a moisturizer on top? Yes. Hyaluronic acid pulls water into the surface, but a moisturizer is what stops it evaporating. Is it suitable for oily skin? Yes. The formula is oil-free and weightless, and oily skin is frequently dehydrated too. Can I use it with other actives? Yes. There are no acids or retinoids here, so it layers comfortably with whatever else you use. How long until I see results? Hydration and brightness are immediate. The elasticity benefits build over four to eight weeks. Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Yes. Aloe Vera and Allantoin are there specifically to keep the formula comfortable. How much should I apply? Three to four drops is enough for the face and neck.
