Neobotanics Discovery Set Skin Serum set of skin serums 4×4.5 ml

Neobotanics skin serums– choice according to skin type:

• Dry to very dry skin, loss of brightness and elasticity, more pronounced wrinkles:
  Anti-Wrinkle Skin Rejuvenator #1 (water serum) as the first step, followed by Instant Beauty & Radiance #2 (oil serum) to promote comfort and a nourished appearance.
  
• Combination and problematic skin prone to unevenness and enlarged pores:
  Skin Perfector #1 (water serum) and then Youth Booster #2 (oil serum).
  If you are unsure about your choice: start with our Discovery collection skin serum test set 4x4.5ml and try the serums one by one. It will be easier to find out what suits your skin and reduce the risk of care overload.

Dietary supplements:The appearance of the skin is also influenced by long-term "internal" care, we recommend:

• collagen peptides – ideally in combination with vitamin C, because vitamin C contributes to
  normal collagen formation for normal skin function.
  
• protection of cells from oxidative stress (e.g. vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc,
  Selenium contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

A suitable choice is BEAUTY MARINE COLLAGEN + 22 ESSENCES with natural raspberry-cranberry
flavors (267 g / 30 servings) - food supplement based on marine collagen peptides NATICOL®.

Tip for practice: the best results usually come from a combination of consistent cosmetic care

A) TESTING PHASE– individual serum testing (without combinations):

1. Skin cleansing (makeup removing oil/milk/foam)
2. Skin toning (toner)
3. SERUM – apply a few drops and let dry, 1-2 times a day, preferably morning and evening
4. Cream/skin oil
   

In the testing phase, we recommend trying each serum separately for 2-3 days, not combining it with other serums.
Only combine multiple serums after you have verified that the individual serums are suitable for your skin.

B) REGULAR APPLICATION– serum combination:

1. Skin cleansing (makeup removing oil/milk/foam)
2. Skin toning (toner)
3. SERUM #1 - apply a few drops of water-based serum (#1) and let dry
4. SERUM #2 - apply a few drops of oil serum (#2) and let dry
5. Cream/skin oil

Drying time:aqueous serum (#1) approx.10 seconds, oil serum (#2) approx.30-60 seconds.
Quantity: just usea few drops, serums are very concentrated.
We recommend 1 drop on each cheek, another on the chin, nose and forehead, i.e. a total of approximately 0.035 drops.

How often to apply:1-2 times a day, preferablymorning and evening
With regular application, serums can be combined, namely any water-based (#1) and oil-based serum (#2), according to the current needs of the skin, see below for recommended serum combinations for different skin types.

Notice:
We do not recommend layering the same type of serum twice on top of each other. This could disrupt the synergistic effect of the active ingredients or cause skin irritation due to an unnecessarily high amount of active ingredients on top of each other. So do not apply two water-based serums (#1 and #1) or two oil-based serums (#2 and #2) on top of each other. That is why the bottles are marked #1 and #2.

Při pravidelné aplikaci je možné jednotlivá séra kombinovat:

1. krok: vodné sérum (#1), nechat zaschnout

2. krok: olejové sérum (#2), nechat zaschnout

Výběr konkrétního vodného nebo olejového séra je vhodný podle typu nebo aktuálních potřeb pleti, viz dále doporučené kombinace sér pro různé typy pleti.

Upozornění: Nedoporučujeme vrstvit stejný typ sera dvakrát na sebe. Mohlo by dojít k narušení efektu synergie působení aktivních látek příp. k podráždění pleti kvůli zbytečně vysokému množství účinných látek na sobě. Tedy neaplikovat dvě vodná séra (#1 a #1) nebo ne dvě olejová séra (#2 a #2) na sebe. Z toho důvodu je na lahvičkách označení #1 a #2.

The 30 ml skin serum will last us about 1-2 months with daily use.
It depends on whether it is used once or twice a day. When used only once a day, the serum will last up to 2 months, when applied twice a day, about 1 month.

Serums are very concentrated, you only need to use a few drops.
We recommend 1 drop on each cheek, another on the chin, nose and forehead, i.e. a total of about 5 drops.

Cosmetic products are not intended to treat rosacea or affect its cause. If you have skin that is prone to significant sensitivity and redness, we recommend choosing the most gentle routine possible, minimizing the number of steps, and introducing new products gradually.

In our experience, YOUTH BOOSTER #2 is often well tolerated by rosacea-prone skin because it is an oil serum focused on skin comfort. It is formulated with squalane and selected oils and contains active ingredients such as bakuchiol, Argirelin™ YOUth peptide and magnolia extract.
The oily texture usually allows for very gentle application without unnecessary friction, which is practical for reactive skin. At the same time, it is often advantageous for sensitive skin to keep the routine simple (fewer layers, less risk of overload).

Practical safe procedure for rosacea:

• Patch (skin) test: apply a small amount to a small area and observe the reaction for 24–48 hours.
• Start with a low frequency: e.g. 2–3 times a week, ideally in the evening, and increase as tolerated.
• Apply only to calm skin: avoid use on acutely irritated, burning or broken skin.
• Minimalist care: in a sensitive period, "less is more" (gentle cleansing, simple hydration, one serum).
• If you have been diagnosed with rosacea: it is advisable to align your routine with the dermatologist's recommendations, especially if you are also using medical therapy.

Tip: If you want to start as gently as possible, apply 1-2 drops and only press in gently (without massaging), or use every other day.

Our serums are designed as highly effective cosmetic care that targetscombines
natural bioactive substances and advanced biotechnological active ingredients. The goal of this concept is maximum functionality and meaningful results in everyday care - therefore, for us, "natural" does not mean just simple oils, but above all bioactive substances with a clear role in the product.

Oil serums (#2): bioactive lipid extracts and non-polar plant substances

We base our oil serums on highly bioactive lipid extracts and non-polar (oil) plant bioactives. These include, for example, Stoechiol (a plant bioactive complex) and the Argirelin Youth peptide, which is specially formulated to be soluble in an oil base.
The basis of oil serums is squalane and rare natural oils, which ensure pleasant application, support skin comfort, and at the same time create a suitable environment for the stability and effectiveness of lipophilic active ingredients.

Water serums (#1):biotechnological peptides, liposomal systems and modern bioactive complexes

Water serums are based on advanced biotechnological, highly effective bioactive peptides and modern active complexes. We often use liposomal forms, which are designed to enable effective transport of active ingredients into the skin, their better distribution and interaction with skin structures. An example is the X50 Antiaging Capsules technology.
We also work with modern cosmetic assets such as plant stem cells (Resistem), postbiotics (BB-Biont) and growth factors (Reneseed) - the goal is to support sophisticated skin care across various needs (comfort, smoother and more unified appearance, overall quality of the skin surface).

Why do we use a combination of water and oil serums?

The combination of these substances in our serums is intentional: we combine natural bioactive ingredients with advanced cosmetic biotechnology to achieve high efficacy while maintaining comfort of use and high-quality sensory properties.

Tip:If you have sensitive skin, we always recommend a patch (skin) test and introducing a new product gradually (e.g. every other day) to properly assess tolerance.

Neobotanics skin serums were developed so that the active ingredients penetrate the skin and work even without mesotherapy.

Serums are primarily developed fortopical (surface) application to the skin. They are not declared assterile preparations intended for mesotherapy or microneedling application, where the skin barrier is disrupted and substances penetrate significantly deeper into the skin.

However, microneedling should probably be possible, but we recommend doing a patch test first.
small area of ​​skin to check for irritation.

From a purely theoretical point of view, it would be more suitable for microneedlingaqueous serumbecause oil serums are not commonly used in this type of treatment.

However, it is necessary to take into account that some of these serums containhigher concentration of active ingredients (e.g. niacinamide, peptides or other bioactive ingredients)Microneedling could therefore lead tomore intense penetration of these substances and potential skin irritationbecause microneedling temporarily significantly increases skin permeability. For this reason, we generally recommend using our serumsafter microneedling only in the aftercare phasewhen the skin is already calmed, not directly during the treatment.

Formesotherapy / microneedling (dermaroller, dermapen)is, from a purely theoretical point of view, the most suitable type of serum with the following properties:

• water (not oil) base
• not too high concentrations of active and irritating substances
• content of moisturizing and regenerating ingredients

The most suitable serumfrom our offer is waterAnti-Wrinkle Skin Rejuvenator #1:

• water base
• contains hydrating and regenerating ingredients (e.g. hyaluronic acid, peptides, etc.)
• focused on skin regeneration and collagen production

The composition is generally closer to what is used in professional microneedling ampoules
(hydrating, reparative).

A rather less suitable serum is aqueousSkin Perfector #1:

• contains a very high concentration of niacinamide (20%) and other bioactive substances
• after disrupting the skin barrier with microneedling, it could cause significant irritation.

Not suitable for microneedling:

• Instant Beauty & Radiance #2
• Youth Booster #2

Reason: they areoil serumsThe oil phase is not usually used in microneedling because it is more difficult to penetrate the microchannels and may increase the risk of inflammation or comedones.

Neobotanics animal collagens:

• Premium Marine Collagen+17 Essences
• Beauty Marine Collagen+22 Essences

They contain Naticol marine fish collagen peptides, which are type I marine collagen peptides.
These are known for their good bioavailability and are suitable for overall support of connective tissues - i.e. skin, tendons, ligaments and joints.

Neobotanics plant collagen:

Vegan collagen alternative + 20 ESSENCESis a plant-based alternative to animal collagen. It contains 1000 mg of VOLLAGEN® – a complex of amino acids in a ratio corresponding to animal collagen, but in a 100% vegan version. The plant-based amino acids are specially designed in a ratio similar to that found in collagen.

Most people are unaware of the fact, held by many doctors, that type II collagen for joints is not necessarily better than hydrolyzed type I collagen.

Types of collagen in the body:

• Type I collagenis most abundant in the skin. Products with hydrolyzed type I collagen (for example, from fish skin or beef hide) are therefore associated with improving the elasticity, hydration and appearance of the skin, hair and nails.
• Type II collagenis a part of joint cartilage. Therefore, it is often stated that collagen peptides prepared from type II collagen are ideal for supporting the musculoskeletal system - e.g. in dietary supplements for athletes or people suffering from joint problems.
• Type III collagenIt can play a complementary role in supporting tissue and vascular health, but is most often seen in combination with type I.

Although type I collagen is most associated with the skin, it is increasingly appearingevidencethathydrolyzed peptidesobtained from type I collagen are beneficial for the joint system.

Why is type I collagen just as good for joints as type II collagen?

When taking collagen in dietary supplements, collagen breaks down in the digestive tract into individual amino acids and peptides, which the body then uses according to its needs - i.e. for the production of collagen in various tissues (joints, skin, tendons, ligaments, etc.). Therefore, hydrolyzed collagen type I is often used in practice, as it is very well absorbed and can support the regeneration of connective tissues throughout the body.

Hydrolyzed type I collagen (e.g. marine collagen) is used as a building material for various tissues in the body, including joints, after absorption.

The collagens in the Neobotanics range are marine collagen peptides (type I), which are known for their good bioavailability and are suitable for overall support of connective tissues - i.e. skin, tendons, ligaments and joints.
