DELA serum - Nourish without greasing

The trap of rich creams

Creams for dry skin contain emulsifiers and silicones that create surface barrier. Result?
- Immediate nutrition sensation
- But occlusive film that prevents true nutrition
- Your skin stays dependent, never repairs itself

It's the vicious cycle of cream that "nourishes" without nourishing.

DELA nourishes differently.

This concentrated face serum contains only ultra-fine oils that truly penetrate into deep layers of your skin. No water, no emulsifiers, no barrier:

SENEGALESE BAOBAB (one of the finest oils in the world)
Deeply nourishes + restores mature skin elasticity

PLANT-BASED SQUALANE (sebum biomimetic)
Seals hydration + immediate silky touch without grease

GRAPE SEED (powerful antioxidant)
Fast absorption + protects against aging

3-4 drops sufficient. Penetration in 30-60 seconds. Silky touch. Immediate makeup.

This serum completely replaces your moisturizer.

WHAT YOUR SKIN FEELS IMMEDIATELY

✓ Comfort from first application
✓ Fast absorption in 30-60 seconds

The oils vs cream difference:

Rich creams:

- Deep penetration
- Real nutrition
- Lasting repair
- Autonomous skin

✓ Deeply nourished and repaired skin

Transformation timeline:

Immediately: Comfort, silky touch, zero tightness
After 1 week: More supple skin, less roughness
After 2-3 weeks: Luminous complexion, visible elasticity
After 4-6 weeks: Strengthened barrier, transformed skin
After 3 months: Autonomous skin, delayed signs of aging

Baobab oil (from Senegal)
Africa's thousand-year tree. One of the finest and most penetrating oils in the world. Exceptionally rich in vitamins A, D, E, F and essential omega-3-6-9 fatty acids. Intensely nourishes dry skin, restores mature skin elasticity, protects against climate aggressions (cold, pollution). Helps delay visible signs of skin aging. Non-comedogenic.

Plant-based squalane (olive-derived)
100% plant biomimetic emollient. Similar structure to human sebum, instant penetration. Seals hydration in deep layers, strengthens weakened skin barrier of dry skin. Immediate silky touch without any greasy effect. Protects against dehydration. Stable to oxidation (never rancid).

Grape seed oil
Powerful antioxidant rich in vitamin E and polyphenols. Ultra-light texture that penetrates quickly without leaving greasy film. Protects against free radicals responsible for premature skin aging. Firms, tones, improves elasticity. Perfect for dry skin refusing heavy textures.

Rose geranium essential oil
Natural delicate and soothing scent. Balances sebum production, regenerates skin cells, improves elasticity. Gentle anti-inflammatory for sensitive skin.

Does serum really replace my day cream?
YES, completely! This serum is a pure concentrate of ultra-nourishing oils. It nourishes your dry skin much more deeply than cream (which contains 60-80% water + emulsifiers). You don't need any additional cream.

Exception: If your skin is VERY dehydrated, use enriched DELA+ toner before serum instead (rather than adding cream).

How long before seeing results?

Comfort: Immediate from first application (tightness gone)
Texture: 1 week (more supple and soft skin)
Complexion: 2-3 weeks (luminosity, uniformity)
Elasticity: 4-6 weeks (visible firmness, delayed signs of aging)
Complete transformation: 3 months regular use

Can I use it under eyes?
YES! Baobab oil is exceptional for eye contour. It nourishes this delicate area without migrating into eye. Gently pat 1 drop under each eye (never pull skin). Avoid mobile eyelid.

Is this serum suitable for mature skin?
ABSOLUTELY! It's even ideal for mature and dry skin:
- Baobab restores lost elasticity
- Squalane strengthens barrier weakened with age
- Antioxidants delay visible signs of aging
- Nourishes without weighing down thin skin

How long does the bottle last?
Approximately 4 months with morning and evening use (3-4 drops per application). Longer if you use 2-3 drops (with enriched toner) or only evening.

Does serum leave greasy effect?
NO! Ultra-fine oils (baobab, squalane, grape seed) penetrate in 30-60 seconds. Immediate silky touch, never greasy. You can apply makeup immediately after without foundation sliding.

Does serum stain clothes or pillowcases?
No. It penetrates completely without leaving greasy residue. Unlike heavy oils (coconut, argan) that can stain, these ultra-fine oils are totally absorbed.

Can I use serum alone without toner?
You can, but results will be less optimal. Toner:
1. Rebalances pH for optimal absorption
2. Slightly moistens skin
3. Serum penetrates 3x better on slightly damp skin

For maximum results: always toner THEN serum.

What difference with pure vegetable oil (argan, coconut)?
Single pure oil (argan, coconut):**
- One oil = limited properties
- Often heavy texture
- Slow penetration
- Can leave greasy film

DELA Serum (formulated synergy):
- 3 complementary oils = multiplied effects
- Selected ultra-fine textures
- Fast penetration (30-60 sec)
- Zero greasy effect

It's the difference between raw ingredient and optimized synergistic formulation.

Can I mix serum with my cream?
Not recommended. Creams contain emulsifiers that can block penetration of pure oils. If you want more hydration, use enriched DELA+ toner before serum instead (rather than adding cream after).

Is serum suitable for sensitive skin?
YES! Pure vegetable oils are generally better tolerated than creams (which contain preservatives, synthetic fragrances, emulsifiers). Baobab and squalane soothe sensitive reactive skin.

Caution: 48h patch test recommended if very reactive skin (rose geranium essential oil).

Can I use this serum if I have occasional acne?
This serum is formulated for DRY skin. If you have dry skin + occasional acne due to dehydration, yes. But if you have oily skin with acne, choose NOUR serum instead (regulates sebum).

In what order to use all DELA products?

MORNING:
1- DELA Toner (spray)
2- DELA Serum (3-4 drops)

EVENING:
1- DELA Cleansing Oil (dry skin)
2- DELA Soap (emulsifies oil)
3- DELA Toner (rebalances pH)
4- DELA Serum (3-4 drops)

This is the complete 4-step ritual for transformed dry skin.
