Avocado Butter + Avocado Extract

Antioxidant-rich ingredients packed with Oleic and linoleic acids to effectively smooth and moisturize dry, chapped skin.

Ceramide-5

Five skin-identical ceramides that help reduce redness by supporting skin barrier health. These ceramides were chosen because they are identical to the ceramides already present in the skin’s lipid barrier, enabling them to absorb efficiently. Each ceramide works to maintain moisture and support barrier function--relieving skin of discomfort and preventing redness from dehydration.

Allantoin

A multifunctional and effective skin protectant that moisturizes and smooths skin.

Rice Milk

Inspired by a K-beauty practice to splash the skin with rice water after washing rice due to its naturally soothing and hydrating properties.

Free Of:

Vegan. Cruelty-free. Free of Parabens, Mineral Oil, Sulfates, Silicones, Phthalates, Synthetic Dyes, Fragrances, Drying Alcohols.

Avocado Ceramide Recovery Serum is 100% fragrance-free but contains a fresh scent from plant extracts. The scent in the formula comes from natural extracts that also have moisturizing and antioxidant benefits.

What is Ceramide-5 and why do I need it in my skincare routine?

5 ceramides specifically chosen because they are identical to the ceramides already present in skin. Combined, Ceramide-5 acts as the most effective combination of ceramides for the skin barrier. With age, environmental factors, and diet, our skin’s ceramide levels can become compromised resulting in: dry, irritated, itchy, red skin. Applying a topical source of ceramides helps prevent and repair the look of irritation on the skin barrier, while alleviating skin discomfort.

Is this suitable for acne prone, oily skin?

The formula is great for acne prone or oily skin due to its lightweight fast absorbing texture. Research has shown that a weakened skin barrier may contribute to acne formation. Because ceramides are instrumental in skin barrier function, this formula works well on all skin types.

Is this suitable for eczema or rosacea prone skin?

While it’s not clinically tested for eczema or rosacea, the formula is dermatologist tested and clinically proven to significantly reduce redness overtime. Nourishing ingredients like Ceramide-5, Avocado, and Allantoin help keep skin soothed and healthy-looking.

What are the symptoms of a compromised skin barrier?

Compromised skin lacks the ability to protect and maintain itself, which results in redness, flakiness, itchiness, and breakouts. It’s important to use moisturizing ingredients such as ceramides to help seal in moisture and repair the skin barrier.

Is the Cholesterol in the formula vegan?

Yes, this formula is entirely vegan. The cholesterol in this formula is from a blend of plant-derived and safe synthetic ingredients.

Very soothing on the skin.

It feels very soothing on the skin, but I'm unsure whether it helps me with redness. I'm not a fan of the packaging for this. Every time I pressed down on the pump the liquid shot out aggressively. Had to remind myself to put my hand right against the pump.

A Go-To Serum for the Winter! 🥑💚

I tried a sample packet of this serum and I fell in love with it! I bought the full bottle to fully incorporate it into my routine!

This Avocado Serum is perfect for the winter! My skin has been horrible since it started getting colder where I live. My face was drying and cracking into flakes, turning my skin extremely inflamed and sensitive. This serum helped reduce my redness incredibly well, including my inflamed acne. It also evened out my skin tone and left my skin looking more lively, which was a big surprise to me! I never realized how much of a red undertone my tan skin had until I used this serum. This serum also has a nice natural scent to it!

I’ve been using this serum every 3 nights, substituting my Strawberry and Blackberry serums, for about 2 weeks to heal my skin’s surface. It has also been my go-to daytime serum to use alongside the Banana Souffle Moisture Cream to defend my skin from the harsh cold weather. I highly recommend this serum to those with dry and/or sensitive skin, especially for these winter months!

Note: I originally submitted this review on 12/15/2024 via review email, but for some odd reason it didn't appear on the website, so I am resubmitting it here as of 12/30/2024! I have been using this serum for a month now, and it's still amazing :)

I almost NEVER finish entire products for hair, body, face, make-up, etc. I finished this entire bottle and have a few more on backup now! Love it!

A Soothing Staple

Having dry but acne prone skin, I love that this compliments the strawberry serum. I struggle to balance things that clarify while keeping my skin moisturized, and these together keep my skin clear and helps minimize breakout duration when I have it. This serum is also amazing for when actives get a little over done, I use with the plum serum and use an extra pump of avo for a quick recovery. A great staple to keep in your rotation!
