Pollution protection: Get your glow back with this high-performance smoothing skin serum

For those looking to soothe dull, dry skin that has been exposed to environmental stressors like pollution and sun exposure, a serum enriched with hyaluronic acid (HA) can be a valuable addition to your skincare routine.

Recognised as the Best Soothing Serum in The Weekly's Best Beauty Buys 2024, the Grown Alchemist Instant Smoothing Serum is a concentrated formula that deeply hydrates the skin, thanks to its blend of HA molecules of varying weights.

The serum works in harmony with your skin to deliver soothing benefits and protect your barrier from harmful pollutants. With regular use, you’ll notice a more revitalised complexion that glows from within.  

Multi-level hydration for a smoother complexion

The Instant Smoothing Serum features plant-derived high, medium and low-weight HA molecules. The low- and medium-weight HA penetrate deep to hydrate the lower layers of the dermis, while the high-weight HA locks in moisture on the skin's surface. This multi-level approach ensures that your skin receives the hydration it needs at every level, resulting in a smoother, more supple complexion.

Supporting ingredients like resurrection leaf, an organically certified plant grown in high-stress environments, help to improve the skin barrier. Another key component, glycerin, locks in moisture, keeping your skin plump and hydrated throughout the day.

Faz Gaffa, a working mother to a six-year-old who has been battling signs of ageing skin ever since she entered her 30s, loves the serum’s soothing properties: “The Grown Alchemist Instant Smoothing Serum is such an effortless product to incorporate into any skincare routine. 

“If you're concerned about your skin barrier, this product's naturally derived ingredients will help protect it. I love a high-performance, skin-first skincare brand and this serum is perfect. Pro tip: Put it on as your last skincare step before makeup and watch the magic happen!”

She also notes that the recent spell of hotter-than-usual weather in Singapore has left her skin feeling extra dull and dry, but the serum has helped to replenish lost moisture. “The Instant Smoothing Serum is ideal as an intensive treatment to counteract environmental factors like sunburn, harmful pollutants and overexposure to air conditioning,” adds Faz. 

Suitable for all skin types, the Grown Alchemist Instant Smoothing Serum is easy to incorporate into your existing skincare routine. Simply massage a few drops onto your face after cleansing and toning, both morning and evening. Follow up with your favourite moisturiser to lock in the serum's hydrating benefits for best results.
