For Oily or Breakout-Prone Skin

Q serum resurfaces and hydrates oily, breakout-prone skin in the same layer, so you can use it every day. Most products for oily skin work by stripping off all oil, and stripped skin becomes even shinier throughout the day. Fruit-derived AHAs and lactic acid loosen the dead cells that collect around a congested pore and make your texture look rough. Niacinamide evens the look of tone and refines the look of pores. Pumpkin, cucumber and our signature balloon vine restore water back into the skin.

How to Use+

Press 3 to 4 drops onto clean skin, focusing on the oily and congested areas. Follow with your day or night cream. Because it contains resurfacing acids, wear SPF daily while you are using it.

Our Philosophy

I go about [the formulas] in a very different way than a regular chemist. I always look for what conditions I’d like to correct. I look at what skin types and problems that I want to work with, and then I try to find the best possible ingredients that will work for the skin.
