How to apply your serums to get the most out of their benefits By Tatiana Becerra One of the most frequently asked questions in skincare is the correct order in which serums should be applied. At SIALBÉ, we know that every skin is unique and that each serum is formulated to address different needs and concerns. From hydrating to brightening or calming serums, it's important to know how to combine them for optimal results. What is an IV drip and why is it so important? Serums are ultra-nourishing concentrates that deliver essential active ingredients for healthy, radiant skin. Thanks to their lightweight, fast-absorbing formula, they penetrate deep into the dermis, boosting hydration, firmness, and radiance. Generally, serums should be applied after cleansing and before moisturizer. However, depending on their specific formula, there are some exceptions. How to use serums with hyaluronic acid? Hyaluronic acid-based serums are characterized by their light, transparent texture. They are ideal for deep hydration and should be applied directly to clean, damp skin before any other product. This is because the lipids present in creams or oil-based serums can block the penetration of hyaluronic acid, reducing its effectiveness. If you use multiple serums with this base, you can apply them in layers, allowing each one to absorb before applying the next. How to apply lipid-based serums? Lipid-based serums have a creamy or milky appearance, and their main function is to provide nourishment and repair. Some examples include soothing serums, brightening serums, and those containing Vitamin C. These should be applied after hyaluronic acid-based serums, as they help seal in moisture and enhance the effects of other active ingredients. If you wish to combine them, you can mix them with your moisturizer or apply them just before it, allowing them to be fully absorbed. Can the serums be mixed? If you decide to mix serums, it's important to use those with a similar consistency. For example, hyaluronic acid-based serums can be combined to boost hydration and protection against environmental factors. Similarly, lipid-based serums can be mixed to soothe the skin and improve radiance. However, mixing serums with different bases in the same application is not recommended, as this could interfere with their absorption and effectiveness. It's best to apply them in the correct order and allow each one to work before applying the next. Finishing serums: the final step for radiant skin? Some serums are designed to be the final step in your skincare routine. These include serums with a lifting effect, brightening serums, and sunscreens in serum form. Lifting serums should be applied at the end of your routine and before makeup. Highlighters can be applied before or after makeup to give a natural glow. Serums with sun protection should be used as the last step, without mixing them with moisturizer, to ensure maximum protection. Conclusion The order in which you apply your serums is key to maximizing their benefits. Always remember to start with hyaluronic acid serums , followed by lipid-based serums, and finish with a setting serum. This way, your skin will receive the hydration, nourishment, and protection it needs at each step. At SIALBÉ, we believe a well-structured skincare routine is the key to healthy, radiant skin.

The retinol of the future is natural: transform your skin with sea fennel from the Île de Ré Retinol has been a star ingredient in skincare for years thanks to its effectiveness in combating wrinkles, improving texture, and revitalizing the face. However, not all skin types tolerate this potent vitamin A derivative. Irritation, flaking, and excessive sensitivity are common side effects, especially in sensitive skin. Today, biocosmetics offers an equally powerful and much gentler alternative: plant-based retinol . What is retinol and why do we need an alternative? Conventional retinol works by stimulating cell renewal, increasing collagen production, and visibly improving the skin's appearance. But its potency can also be its Achilles' heel: many people with sensitive skin should avoid it. The SIALBÉ difference At SIALBÉ, we developed an active extract called Samphira Retinol , obtained from sea fennel (Crithmum maritimum) , sustainably harvested on the Île de Ré. This active ingredient is certified by COSMOS ECOCERT as organic and is the result of environmentally responsible practices. And what makes it so special? Unlike synthetic retinol, plant-based retinol offers the same dermatological benefits — wrinkle reduction, improved texture, even skin tone, brighter skin, and less visible pores — without causing irritation or inflammation. Biocosmetics with purpose: Berry Boost Berry Boost is not just a vegan retinol serum. It's a synergy of dermoactive ingredients designed to deliver a complete regeneration experience: Essential amino acids such as arginine, glycine, and alanine stimulate natural collagen production, combat sagging, and improve elasticity. The result: hydrated, firm, and visibly smoother skin. Extracts of wild strawberry, grape, and raspberry , rich in antioxidants and vitamins. These active ingredients brighten the skin, protect it from oxidative stress, and even out skin tone. Urea, fructose, citrate and sodium PCA , powerful natural humectants that help retain moisture, strengthen the skin barrier and leave a velvety texture with that healthy glow we love so much.
