💧 A multi-active repair serum from Christine Valmy built for mature, dull, and dry skin — where tone correction, texture refinement, and barrier recovery need to happen in a single treatment step.

The formula leads with lactic acid for gentle surface exfoliation and Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate to visibly even tone and reduce dullness — a brightening pairing that delivers without the irritation risk of stronger AHAs. Linoleic acid reinforces a compromised lipid barrier, while a three-protein system of hydrolyzed oat, rice, and soy proteins deposits a visible-tightening film suited to clients with loss of firmness. Carrot seed oil and ginseng add carotenoid and adaptogenic antioxidant support for stressed or sun-damaged presentations. The serum is also formulated to serve as a conductive medium for device-assisted modalities — ionization, microcurrent, high frequency, LED, and oxygen treatments — making it a backbar workhorse in advanced facial protocols. Vegan and natural.

A strong fit for estheticians running repair or rejuvenation facials who want one serum that bridges device work and visible results.

• Brightening and Even Tone: Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate visibly reduces the appearance of uneven skin tone and dullness, helping mature or damaged skin look more radiant and uniform.
• Skin Texture Refinement: Lactic Acid gently exfoliates at the surface to loosen and remove dead cells, smoothing the skin's texture and improving its readiness to absorb subsequent treatment products.
• Barrier Conditioning and Moisture Retention: Linoleic Acid reinforces the skin's lipid barrier, reducing transepidermal moisture loss and helping dry or compromised skin maintain hydration throughout the day.
• Firmer, More Elastic Appearance: A three-protein system of Hydrolyzed Oat, Rice, and Soy Proteins deposits a temporary film on the skin surface, visibly tightening and supporting the look of elasticity — especially noticeable on mature skin that has lost firmness.
• Nourishing Revitalization for Dull Skin: Carrot Seed Oil and Ginseng Root Extract deliver carotenoid antioxidants and ginsenoside-rich botanical nourishment to dull or stressed skin, contributing to a more revitalized and energized appearance.
• Lightweight High-Potency Dose: The concentrated serum format delivers its full active payload in just a few drops, making it highly efficient per application and ideal for layering under a moisturizer or cream within a professional facial service.

Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate: A stabilized, water-soluble derivative of azelaic acid that delivers brightening and skin-tone-evening effects at trace-effective concentrations, helping to visibly reduce uneven pigmentation and dullness with strong tolerance across skin types.

Lactic Acid: An alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that works as a chemical exfoliant to gently loosen and remove dead skin cells at the surface, improving overall skin texture, radiance, and the absorption of subsequent actives in a leave-on serum context.

Linoleic Acid: An essential omega-6 fatty acid that reinforces the skin's lipid barrier, helps restore ceramide-depleted or compromised skin surfaces, and conditions the skin to improve moisture retention — a key active for the dry and damaged skin target.

Hydrolyzed Oat Protein / Hydrolyzed Rice Protein / Potassium Abietoyl Hydrolyzed Soy Protein — Hydrolyzed Protein System: Three complementary hydrolyzed plant proteins (oat, rice, and soy-derived) that together deposit a film on the skin surface to temporarily tighten appearance, support suppleness, and reinforce the look of elasticity — particularly relevant for mature or damaged skin with loss of firmness.

Daucus Carota Sativa Seed Oil - known as Carrot Seed Oil: A carotenoid-rich botanical oil that delivers antioxidant protection and nourishing lipids to dull or stressed skin, contributing to a more revitalized and radiant surface appearance — supported by brand callout pairing it with Ginseng for 'stressed skin'.

Panax Ginseng Root Extract - known as Ginseng: A standardized adaptogenic botanical extract rich in ginsenosides that contributes antioxidant activity and supports a more energized, revitalized skin appearance — particularly relevant for dull and mature skin presentations.

1. Cleanse the client's face thoroughly and pat dry before beginning the treatment.
2. If performing a device-assisted service (ionization, high frequency, microcurrent, LED, or oxygen treatment), prepare the device according to the manufacturer's protocol before applying the serum.
3. Dispense 2–4 drops of the serum onto fingertips or a spatula.
4. Apply the serum evenly to the client's face and neck, avoiding the immediate eye contour area.
5. Gently press and smooth the serum into the skin using light upward strokes; do not rub aggressively.
6. When incorporating device-assisted modalities, proceed with the device application step immediately after serum application, following each device's specific operating protocol.
7. Allow the serum to absorb fully before applying a day or night cream to seal in the treatment.
8. Advise the client to apply a broad-spectrum SPF product if the service is performed during daytime hours, as the Lactic Acid component may increase sun sensitivity.

Integrating with Device-Assisted Facial Services

This serum is designed to work synergistically with ionization, microcurrent, high frequency, LED light therapy, and oxygen treatments. For ionization or microcurrent services, the serum's aqueous base and active payload make it an effective conductive medium — apply a slightly more generous amount to ensure full coverage and consistent electrical contact across the treatment zones. For LED or oxygen treatments, apply immediately before the device step so active ingredients are driven deeper during the treatment window. When booking a series of repair treatments, this serum pairs well with an enzyme or gentle exfoliation prep on the first visit to maximize subsequent absorption. The retail size (2 oz) is well-suited for client take-home retailing as a continuation of the professional repair service — recommend it at checkout as the between-visit maintenance step.
