Description

What It Is: A multi-correction night serum (ampoule) formulated with 30% Vitamin A, C, E complex and French Hyssop extract to target a wide range of skin concerns. This concentrated serum works overnight to refine pores, brighten pigmentation, calm breakouts, and combat early signs of aging. Despite its powerhouse ingredients, it has a lightweight texture that absorbs well, delivering a smoother, clearer, and more radiant complexion by morning.

Why We Love It: We love Holy Hyssop Serum for its all-in-one approach to skin transformation. It’s like a skin reboot in a bottle – with niacinamide (10%) for dark spots, antioxidant vitamins, and a gentle retinol alternative to renew skin texture, it addresses everything from acne marks to fine lines. We appreciate that it’s 100% plant-based and cruelty-free, aligning with clean beauty values. Users may feel a mild tingling due to active ingredients (so we recommend easing in for sensitive skin), but the results are worth it: pores look more refined, skin tone more even, and breakouts are kept at bay. It truly delivers a brighter, smoother skin tone when used consistently.

Main Ingredients & Benefits:

• Vitamin ACE Complex (30%) – A blend of vitamins A (retinol or botanical alternative), C, and E that provides antioxidant protection, improves skin texture, brightens dark spots, and supports collagen production for firmer skin.
• Niacinamide (10%) – Helps fade hyperpigmentation and post-acne marks, evens skin tone, controls excess oil, and minimizes the appearance of pores.
• Hyssop (Agastache Mexicana) Extract – A plant extract known for anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, it helps soothe acne and irritation while providing antioxidant benefits.
• Botanical Retinol-Alternatives & Antioxidants – Additional plant-derived actives that mimic retinol’s anti-aging effects (softening fine lines, promoting cell turnover) without harsh irritation, and other extracts that calm inflammation and support skin renewal.

Skin Types & Concerns: Suitable for all skin types except very sensitive (introduce gradually for sensitive skin due to potent actives). Ideal for combination, oily, and acne-prone skin, and anyone dealing with uneven texture or early aging. Addresses concerns including enlarged pores, rough texture, hyperpigmentation/dark spots, acne and breakouts, fine lines, and dullness.

How to Use: Use in the evening after cleansing and toning. Apply 1–2 pumps of the serum onto face and gently pat in until absorbed. Focus on areas with pores or pigmentation concerns. Follow with a moisturizer. Start by using it 2–3 times a week, then increase frequency if well-tolerated (mild tingling is normal at first). As this serum contains strong actives (like vitamin A alternatives and high niacinamide), be sure to wear SPF during the day to protect your newly revitalized skin. Avoid using other potent exfoliants or retinoids on the same nights to prevent irritation.
