Your questions, answered

What is the difference between Hyaluronic Acid and Sodium Hyaluronate and is there a benefit to one over the other?

Sodium Hyaluronate is the salt form of Hyaluronic Acid and it is considered to be more stable, as it doesn’t breakdown as easily. It penetrates the skin more easily and will bio convert into hyaluronic acid by the skin.

What is the benefit of 7 molecular weights of Hyaluronic Acid?

The combination of 7 molecular weights provides optimum moisturisation to the skinMedium & high molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid stays on the surface of skin & creates a lubricious & protective film to reduce water loss and enhance the skin’s barrier function, helping to protect the skin from dehydration.

Low molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid is known to penetrate the epidermis, and when used regularly, will ensure moisturisation in deeper layers of epidermis, helping to stimulate the production of the skin’s own hyaluronic acid. It also holds water in the dermis for optimum moisturisation, elasticity and firmness.

Do I need a Hyaluronic Acid Serum as well as my Golden Glow Serum?

No. Our Golden Glow serum offers the benefits of a Hyaluronic Acid serum but with the additional benefit of developing a natural looking, subtle, golden tan in under 4 hours. What’s more, skin will appear radiant, dewy and healthy.

Why is this a daily serum?

We recommend daily use, as this is a hybrid serum providing multiple skincare benefits alongside a natural looking golden glow. As such, whilst some people might experience a gentle colour build with regular use, the levels of skincare and tanning actives have been carefully balanced to allow daily use. This will ensure your skin can benefit from the powerful ingredients, whilst also achieving the perfect natural glow on the skin.

Will this progressively build colour?

This serum is designed to be used daily, but the effects will vary depending on your skin tone and which shade you choose. Some people might experience a gentle colour build with regular use, but the levels of skincare and tanning actives have been carefully balanced to allow daily use. This will ensure your skin can benefit from the powerful ingredients, whilst also achieving the perfect natural glow on the skin. In our independent user trial, the trialists used the product daily for 4 weeks and found that it gave them an even, natural glow.

How do I know which shade to buy?

Take a look at the before and after images here. This is designed to give a healthy, natural looking golden glow (rather than a very dark tan). If you have a warm or olive skin tone, and tend to tan easily, we would recommend Medium/Dark. If you have a fair skin tone that tends to burn easily or struggles to tan naturally, we recommend Light/Medium. You might also choose to use Light/Medium in the winter and move to Medium/Dark in the summer. If you aren’t sure, why not try the deluxe mini size here

How do I use it in my regime?

Apply to clean, dry skin. If using a toner, apply after this step. Leave for a couple of minutes before applying other products. You can then apply essence, any other serums (if you wish) and moisturiser. However, as this serum is packed with actives for hydrating and firming the skin, you don’t need to use another serum. It can be applied morning or night. Always wash hands after use.
