AWA serum - Balance and brighten

The myth of combination skin creams

"Balancing" creams often contain silicones that create an illusion of matte T-zone. Problem: they clog your pores and force your skin to overproduce sebum. Cheeks remain dull.

The truth: oil balances oil

When you apply ultra-light oils that mimic your natural sebum, your T-zone understands it's sufficiently protected. Result: it stops overproducing sebum. Cheeks receive the nutrition they deserve.

These oils are different

Ultra-fluid, non-comedogenic, they absorb in 30 seconds without leaving greasy film. T-zone stays mattified, cheeks brighten. Even the most temperamental combination skin tolerates them perfectly.

✓ Unified and luminous complexion - Balanced T-zone, radiant cheeks
✓ Naturally regulated sebum - Normalized production without overcompensation

✓ Tightened pores - Refined T-zone texture

✓ Velvety skin - Comfort without shine or tightness

Immediately: Velvety texture, instant absorption, shine-free comfort

After 1 week: Regulated T-zone sebum, less mid-day shine

After 2-3 weeks: Unified complexion, brightened cheeks, tightened pores

After 4-6 weeks: Visible transformation, radiant complexion, perfect balance

Does the serum replace my moisturizer?

Yes, completely. It balances T-zone, nourishes cheeks and protects sufficiently without needing additional cream. Your combination skin doesn't need cream - it needs light oils that balance.

How long before seeing results?

Immediate comfort from first application. Visible T-zone regulation after 1 week. Complete results on complexion, pores and balance after 2-3 weeks of regular morning and evening use.

Does the serum leave a shiny finish on T-zone?

No. It absorbs in 30-60 seconds and leaves a natural velvety finish (not artificial like silicones). T-zone stays mattified. If you feel greasy finish, you're using too much.

How long does the 30ml bottle last?

Regular size (30ml): approximately 4 months with morning and evening use.

Can I use it if I'm pregnant?

No, this serum contains essential oils not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding. AWA soap and toner are safe.

Is this serum suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes. Jojoba and apricot kernel oils are gentle and soothing. Organic lavender soothes T-zone redness. Formula tested on sensitive combination skin.

Can I use it under my makeup?

Absolutely! Wait 30-60 seconds for serum to fully absorb, then apply makeup normally. It even makes an excellent velvety base that extends wear.

Why use fewer drops with enriched toner?

Enriched AWA+ toner already provides additional hydration with aloe vera and glycerin. 2-3 drops of serum are enough to balance without overloading. With classic toner, use 3-4 drops.

Can the serum cause T-zone breakouts?

No. Jojoba oil has a comedogenicity rating of 0 (doesn't clog pores). It naturally regulates sebum instead of stimulating it. In the first weeks, you might experience a short "purge" (1-2 weeks) where blemishes surface. This is normal - your skin is deep cleansing.

Can I use this serum only at night?

Yes, but morning and evening use optimizes results. In the morning, serum protects your combination skin from daily aggressions. At night, it nourishes and regenerates.

100% natural, what does that actually mean?

Only pure plant oils and essential oils. No synthetic ingredients, no endocrine disruptors, no artificial fragrance, no preservatives. Cruelty-free.
