At-a-Glance (30s) (who it's for, what to expect)
Feeling overwhelmed by which serum to choose, or dealing with multiple skin issues at once? This introductory kit is your personal "serum library," allowing you to experiment with five different high-performance actives. It’s perfect for beginners looking to discover what their skin loves, and for experienced users who practice "skin cycling" to address different needs each day.
This kit empowers you to create a customised routine. Target texture one day, soothe irritation the next, and boost your glow on another. It’s the ultimate tool for responsive, flexible skincare that adapts to your life and Mauritius' ever-changing climate.
Quick Start (60-second routine) (essentials for beginners)
Build your routine around a single, targeted treatment each time. Do not layer these serums together.
- Cleanser — Start with a clean base.
- CHOOSE ONE SERUM — Pick the serum that matches your main skin concern for the day (e.g., Vitamin C for morning brightness, PHA for evening texture). See "How to Use" for the amount.
- Sunscreen (AM) / Moisturiser (PM) — Seal in the serum and protect your skin.
Note: Already own a similar serum? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, don’t stack).
AM Routine Guide (morning order) (how to use in the morning)
In the morning, focus on protection and hydration.
- Minimalist (3-4 steps): 1) Cleanser → 2) Pure Vitamin C24 Serum (for antioxidant protection and glow) OR SOS Serum (for hydration) → 3) Moisturiser (if needed) → 4) Sunscreen SPF 30+
Wait Times: Allow 30–60 seconds for the serum to absorb before applying your next step.
PM Routine Guide (evening order) (recommended for starting)
Nighttime is for treatment and repair. Choose your serum based on your skin goal for the evening.
- Minimalist (3 steps): 1) Double-Cleanse (if wearing makeup/SPF) → 2) Choose One Treatment Serum (e.g., PHA 15% for exfoliation, Niacinamide 20% for pores/blemishes, or Azelaic Acid 12% for redness/texture) → 3) Moisturiser
Texture Rule: Always apply products from the thinnest texture to the thickest.
How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (amount, frequency, and tips)
This kit is designed for a "skin cycling" approach. Use one serum at a time, alternating them based on your skin's needs.
- Amount: 2–3 drops of your chosen serum for the entire face.
- Apply to: A clean, toned face. Pat gently until absorbed.
- Frequency: Use one serum per routine (AM or PM). You can use a different serum each day. See our Weekly Planner for an example schedule.
- Important: Do not mix or layer these high-concentration serums together in the same routine to avoid potential irritation.
Weekly Planner (Example & Alternating Actives) (how to schedule use)
Skin cycling helps you get the benefits of multiple actives without overwhelming your skin. Here is an example PM-focused schedule:
- Monday (Exfoliation): PHA 15% Serum
- Tuesday (Target Blemishes/Pores): Niacinamide 20% Serum
- Wednesday (Soothe & Hydrate): SOS Serum
- Thursday (Target Redness/Texture): Azelaic Acid 12% Serum
- Friday (Brighten & Firm): Pure Vitamin C24 Serum (at night)
- Saturday (Soothe & Hydrate): SOS Serum
- Sunday (Gentle Blemish Care): Niacinamide 20% Serum
AM Routine: You can use the Pure Vitamin C24 Serum or the SOS Serum in the morning, followed by sunscreen.
Safety Rule: Always use one strong active per night. Do not use the PHA 15% Serum on the same night as the Vitamin C24 or Azelaic Acid 12% serums until you know how your skin tolerates them.
What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate → 8+ weeks)
- Immediate: The SOS Serum provides an instant feeling of hydration. Some users report the Azelaic Acid serum can reduce redness after just one use.
- 1-4 Weeks: With consistent use of the Niacinamide and Azelaic Acid serums, you may notice a reduction in blemishes and oiliness. The PHA serum will begin to improve skin texture, making it feel smoother.
- 4-8+ Weeks: The Pure Vitamin C24 and Niacinamide 20% serums will show more noticeable effects on hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and overall skin radiance. Continued use of the PHA serum can lead to a visible reduction in rough texture and clogged pores.
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (safer, effective alternatives)
- Why This Kit, Not DIY Vitamin C? Choose the stabilized Pure Vitamin C24 Serum instead of applying lemon juice. The serum is formulated at the correct pH for effectiveness and stability, delivering antioxidant benefits without the risk of chemical burns and sun sensitivity (phytophotodermatitis) that DIY citrus can cause.
- Why This Kit, Not Abrasive Scrubs? Choose the PHA 15% Serum instead of harsh physical scrubs. The PHA (Polyhydroxy Acid) gently dissolves dead skin cells to improve texture without creating micro-tears, which can worsen inflammation and post-acne marks, especially in our sunny climate.
Compatibility Guide (what to pair it with)
- Works With: All serums in this kit work well when layered over a simple hydrating toner and sealed with a barrier-friendly moisturiser. Niacinamide and Azelaic Acid are generally compatible with most ingredients.
- Use Carefully: Avoid using the PHA 15% Serum and the Pure Vitamin C24 Serum in the same routine, as layering multiple acids can lead to irritation. It is best to use them on alternate days.
- Avoid: Do not mix any of these serums together in your palm before application. Use them one at a time.
Skin Type Compatibility (best fits and cautions)
This kit is designed to be versatile and is suitable for most skin types, as you can tailor your routine daily.
- Oily & Combination Skin: Will benefit greatly from the Niacinamide 20%, Azelaic Acid 12%, and PHA 15% serums to manage oil, pores, and texture.
- Dry Skin: The SOS Serum offers excellent hydration. The PHA 15% serum is a hydrating exfoliant, making it a gentler choice than some other acids.
- Sensitive Skin: The SOS and Azelaic Acid serums are designed for soothing and calming. However, due to the high concentration of actives, a patch test is essential for all serums in this kit. Introduce each one slowly.
Targeted Concerns (what it helps to solve)
This kit allows you to address a wide array of concerns by rotating through the five targeted serums:
- SOS Serum: Addresses dehydration, fine lines, and compromised skin barrier with instant hydration.
- Niacinamide 20% Serum: Targets blemishes, uneven skin tone, enlarged pores, and oiliness.
- Pure Vitamin C24 Serum: Fights dullness, sagging skin, dark spots, and lack of radiance.
- PHA 15% Serum: Smooths rough skin texture and gently exfoliates away dead skin cells.
- Azelaic Acid 12% Serum: Calms redness, helps fade post-acne marks, and balances excess sebum.

Full Safety & Patch Test Protocol (important precautions)
- Patch Test: Before using any serum for the first time, apply a pea-sized amount to a small area, like behind your ear or on your inner jawline. Wait 24-48 hours to check for any signs of irritation like redness, itching, or burning.
- Photosensitivity: The PHA 15% Serum and Pure Vitamin C24 Serum contain ingredients that can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Daily use of broad-spectrum sunscreen is essential when using this kit.
- Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: The Niacinamide 20% Serum contains Retinol. It is advised to avoid retinoids during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Consult with your doctor before using this kit.
- Caution: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Do not apply to broken or irritated skin. Discontinue use if a rash or severe irritation occurs.
Sensory & Chemical Profile (texture, feel, and formulation)
- Texture: The serums are generally lightweight and watery. Some users note they can be quite runny, so it is best to dispense them into your palm rather than directly onto your face. Some may have a slightly sticky finish that absorbs after a few minutes.
- Scent: Mostly fragrance-free, with minimal natural scents from the ingredients.
- pH: The PHA and Vitamin C serums are formulated at a low pH to be effective exfoliants and antioxidants.
Troubleshooting Guide (common issues and solutions)
- Issue: My skin feels tingly or sensitive. Solution: This can be normal when introducing high-concentration actives like Vitamin C, PHA, or Azelaic Acid. Reduce use to every other night and apply over a hydrating toner. If stinging or redness persists, stop using that particular serum.
- Issue: The serum feels sticky on my skin. Solution: You may be using too much product. 2-3 drops are sufficient. Ensure you are applying it to a clean, toned face and follow up with a moisturiser to help with absorption.
- Issue: I'm not seeing results. Solution: Consistency and patience are key, especially for concerns like hyperpigmentation. Ensure you are using the correct serum for your concern and applying it regularly. Also, daily sunscreen use is critical to protect your progress.
Climate Fit for Mauritius (local usage advice)
This kit is exceptionally well-suited for Mauritius, allowing you to adapt your routine to our variable climate.
- Hot, Humid Days: Opt for the Azelaic Acid 12% Serum or Niacinamide 20% Serum to help control excess sebum and prevent breakouts. The SOS Serum provides lightweight hydration without feeling heavy.
- Cooler, Drier "Winter" Days or in A/C: The SOS Serum is excellent for combating dehydration from dry air. You can also focus on the Pure Vitamin C24 Serum for glow, as the lower humidity might make the texture feel more comfortable.
- Sun Exposure: After a day in the sun (with proper SPF!), use the SOS Serum or Azelaic Acid 12% Serum at night to calm and soothe any potential inflammation or redness.

Is This the Best Choice for You? (Mindful Alternatives) (other options to consider)
This kit is an excellent choice if your primary goals are to explore different active ingredients, practice skin cycling, or address multiple, changing skin concerns.
However, if you have one primary, consistent concern, you might prefer a single, full-size serum:
- For Intense Dark Spot & Pigmentation Care: Anua NIACINAMIDE 10%+TXA 4% SERUM 30ML — Choose this if your main and persistent goal is to fade stubborn dark spots and melasma. Its combination of Niacinamide and Tranexamic Acid is a focused and powerful approach.
- For Potent Anti-Aging & Wrinkle Care: Beauty of Joseon REVIVE EYE SERUM : GINSENG + RETINAL 30ML — Choose this if your primary concern is fine lines and wrinkles. While designed for eyes, this gentle-but-powerful Retinal serum can be used on the full face for more advanced anti-aging benefits than the serums in this kit provide.
- For Soothing & Barrier Repair: SKIN1004 MADAGASCAR CENTELLA AMPOULE 55ML — Choose this if your skin is consistently sensitive, red, or irritated. This 100% Centella Asiatica extract ampoule provides powerful, focused calming and healing.
Mindful Use: If you already have several active serums at home, we encourage you to finish them first. This kit is best for starting fresh or discovering new ingredients, not for adding to an already-cluttered routine.
Packaging, Sustainability & Practical Details (bottle, storage, and travel)
- Packaging: The kit contains five 10ml glass bottles, each with a dropper applicator, housed in a colorful cardboard box.
- Travel-Friendly: The 10ml bottles are well under the liquid limit for air travel and are perfect for taking your targeted treatments on the go.
- Sustainability: The outer cardboard box is recyclable. Please check local guidelines for recycling the glass bottles and plastic droppers.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. The Pure Vitamin C24 Serum is particularly sensitive to light and air; ensure the cap is tightly closed after each use to prevent oxidation.

Frequently Asked Questions (your questions, answered)
- Can I use more than one serum at a time?
- It is strongly recommended to use only one serum per routine (either morning or night). These are high-concentration formulas, and layering them could lead to irritation. The kit is designed for alternating, not combining.
- Which serums are for the morning and which are for the night?
- The Pure Vitamin C24 and SOS Serum are great for the morning for antioxidant protection and hydration. The PHA, Niacinamide, and Azelaic Acid serums are best used at night as treatment steps. You can also use the Vitamin C serum at night.
- How do I know which serum to use each day?
- Listen to your skin! If it feels dry, use the SOS Serum. If you see a new blemish, use the Niacinamide or Azelaic Acid Serum. If your skin looks dull, reach for the Vitamin C. If the texture feels rough, it's a good night for the PHA Serum.
- Is this kit a good value?
- Yes, it's an excellent way to try five different high-strength serums for the price of one or two full-sized bottles, allowing you to find what works best before committing to a larger purchase.

- Key Benefits: Highly customisable to daily skin needs, targets a wide range of concerns from acne to texture to dullness, travel-friendly sizes.
