OVIUM Rich Peptide Essence — peptide essence in light mist
Light as fog, rich as essence. Rich Peptide Essence was created for the skin, which needs more hydration and relaxation, but not necessarily another layer of cosmetic. Copper Peptide Copper Tripeptide-1 meets with ectoin, betaine, trehalosis, panthenol and hyaluronic acid here, creating a formula that moisturizes, soothes and supports regeneration — while disappearing from the skin in seconds.
To whom is this essence
Will mist work with sensitive and reactive skin?
Yes, it is one of the groups for which it was created. The formula does not contain oils, silicones, alcohol or fragrance, and pH at 5.2–5.6 corresponds to natural skin pH. It will be appreciated by dehydrated skin, dry skin, periodically irritated and the one that ill-bears rich textures.
Can it be combined with retinol and acids?
Yeah, and it shows the most. Among the participants of the study using retinoids or 75% acids confirmed the beneficial effect of the product on skin condition. With active care, the epidermal barrier is weakened, and the essence provides it with hydration and calming, without entering into conflict with assets.
Composition and operation of key components
What does copper peptide do
Copper Tripeptide-1 is a copper complex with three amino acids, one of the better tested peptides in cosmetics. It supports natural skin regeneration processes and care aimed at maintaining its smoothness and flexibility. The characteristic blue tint that is sometimes seen in products with this ingredient comes from copper ions.
Ectoin — a shield against external factors
Ectoin is a cyclic amino acid produced by microorganisms living in extreme conditions: in brines, in deserts, in hot springs. It surrounds the cellular structures with a coat of water molecules, stabilizing them and protecting them from dehydration. In cosmetics it supports the skin barrier and helps reduce the impact of external factors, from dry air to pollution.
Moisturizing complex that does the work
It's the strongest side of this recipe. Betaine, trehalosis, sodium PCA, and Hydroxyethyl Urea are components of the natural moisturizing agent of the skin — the body produces them itself, and here they are supplemented. Each binds water on a slightly different principle, so hydration lasts longer than after a single humectant. They are supplemented by hyaluronic acid, pantenol with soothing and regenerating effect and Zinc PCA supporting skin balance.
Results confirmed by studies
What the application study showed
In a study of 25 women using the product regularly for four weeks, all participants confirmed a better hydration, relief after application and smoother skin to the touch. Decreased dryness and improved comfort were noted by 96%, more regenerated and fresher skin 92%, and lower visibility of small lines associated with 84% drying.
How long the effect lasts
After application, the skin becomes soft and comfortable, and the feeling of hydration can last for several hours, as confirmed by 96% of the study participants. To improve smoothness and elasticity you need to give your skin about four weeks of regular use.
How to use the essence
At what point of care
Spray the essence on the cleansed face and leave to absorb, then proceed to the next stages of care. It's a step after the tonic, and before the serum and the cream. It can be used in the morning and in the evening — this is the way all the participants in the study performed.
Can it be used during the day
Yes, and without limit. The essence is suitable for refreshing the skin at any time, also for makeup — 92% of the subjects confirmed that it worked in this application. It's useful in an air-conditioned office, on a plane, and anywhere where the air is dry.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the essence different from the tonic?
Tonic primarily prepares the skin after washing and restores its pH. Essence is a more nurturing step – it has a higher concentration of active and moisturizing ingredients, so it works on the condition of the skin rather than just closing cleaning.
Is the essence enough instead of the serum?
With skin normal and in warmer months often yes. Dry and dehydrated skin will usually benefit from a full routine in which the essence prepares the ground, and the serum and cream close the hydration.
Does the product contain fragrance composition?
Nope. The composition is short and devoid of fragrances, which is important for reactive and irritated skin.
Does the mist stick to your skin?
She shouldn't. The consistency is watery, without oils and thickeners making the film. If viscosity occurs after the application, it usually means that the product was too much or that it did not have time to absorb before another layer.
How to store essence?
At room temperature, away from the direct sun. Peptides are sensitive to high temperature, so a parapet or a shelf above the radiator is a bad choice.
METHOD OF USE
Spray the essence of the cleansed face and leave to absorb. Then go to the next stages of care. Apply in the morning and evening and, if necessary, during the day to make up.
