Gentle Skin Exfoliation Captured Into A Leave-on Serum

Dead skin cells exfoliation

The serum dissolves the bonds between corneocytes, gently exfoliating dead skin cells and revealing a brighter complexion while promoting enhanced cell turnover. Additionally, it prevents dehydration through the action of humectants, ensuring your skin remains consistently moisturized.

Skin texture improvement

Through sebum production regulation, this serum effectively unclogs pores and enhances skin texture. By exfoliating dead skin cells, it reveals a softer and clearer complexion.

Blackhead reduction

By incorporating innovative active ingredients, this serum has a potent regulatory impact on sebum production effectively reducing clogged pores and minimizing blackheads. Additionally, it inhibits the growth of virulent strains of C, providing preventive measures against acne.

How to Use Desqua Mate AHA BHA PHA Face Serum in Your Skincare Routine

Step-by-Step Application:

  1. Cleanse your face with a gentle face wash.
  2. Apply 2–3 drops of Desqua Mate serum evenly to your dry face. Avoid the eye and lip area.
  3. Let it absorb completely before layering on your moisturizer.
  4. Follow with SPF in the daytime.

Frequency of Use:

  • Beginner Skin: 1–2 times a week at night.
  • Advanced Users: Up to 3–4 times a week, depending on tolerance.

  • Don’t mix with other exfoliants or potent actives like retinol, vitamin C, or glycolic acid in the same routine — it may lead to irritation or over-exfoliation.
  • Always apply sunscreen during the day when using this serum in your routine, as exfoliants can increase sun sensitivity.
  • Avoid layering with strong actives unless advised by a dermatologist.
