FAQ

Can it be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding?

As much as possible - there are no contraindications to the use of Phlov elixirs during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

From what age can I start using potions?

Elixirs, of course, are not intended for children, but teenagers as young as 13-14 can already use them with caution. A soothing elixir can greatly benefit sensitive teenage skin, and occasional use of a smoothing elixir can help with acne, blackheads, excessive sebum production or dull skin. However, we recommend including a rejuvenating elixir in your skin care only from the age of 23-25 - before that, the risk of wrinkles is minimal.

Can elixirs be combined with each other?

Absolutely - the skin has different needs, and there are no contraindications to using two or three elixirs at the same time. A smoothing elixir can be an excellent complement to soothing care for problematic skin, and there is nothing to prevent you from simultaneously soothing or smoothing the skin and having an anti-wrinkle effect.

Is it possible to apply three elixirs at the same time?

As much as possible - there are no contraindications to using two or three elixirs during a single skin care regimen.

Can elixirs be combined with other Phlov products?

Elixirs are used after cleansing and drying the face, and before your favorite serum, cream, oil or mask. They are perfectly compatible with most Phlov products - however, we recommend caution and sensitivity testing if you wish to combine a smoothing elixir with other exfoliating products, especially those containing acids (such as Overnight Beauty Trick).

Are the acids in the smoothing elixir safe?

Yes - both shikimic and trakexamic acids and natural AHA fruit acids are safe for the skin and perfectly tolerated by it. Some of them are even used to soothe skin irritated by cosmetological procedures! In addition, precisely chosen concentrations ensure effectiveness and gentleness for the skin. If you have doubts or have had an unpleasant reaction to acids in the past, we recommend conducting a sensitivity test - apply a dab of the smoothing elixir in an invisible area, such as behind the ear, and wait 24 hours. The acids in the smoothing elixir (and, very rarely, the biopeptides from the rejuvenating elixir) may cause a mild pinching, burning or warm sensation. This is a normal reaction that passes and, unless it is unbearable - does not require washing the product off the face.

How is the hyaluronic acid in Phlov's elixirs different from other similar products on the market?

The hyaluronic acid in Phlov elixirs is 100% plant-derived, microbiome-friendly and halal certified. In addition, we've included hyaluronic acids of three different particle sizes in the elixirs - this gives them differential penetrability into the skin, as well as slightly different, complementary properties beyond just hydration. Their concentration is also high to ensure effectiveness and visible results almost immediately.

Which elixir will be best for acne-prone skin?

Skin that struggles with acne problems will definitely love a smoothing elixir. Exfoliation (non-mechanical, as such is inadvisable with acne) of dead skin will help unclog pores, normalize sebum secretion and smooth the skin. The acids in the elixir will also help deal with hyperpigmentation, which often occurs as a consequence of inflammation. In addition, on days that you do not use a smoothing elixir, care can be supplemented with a soothing elixir. Its calming properties will bring relief to reddened, irritated skin.

What is the difference between an elixir and a serum?

An elixir is a derivative of a serum - it differs primarily in its formulation, which is more like a gel, and in the fact that its purpose is to provide targeted care in a narrower scope. Phlov's elixirs are much lighter in texture and instantly absorbed, while serums tend to absorb somewhat more slowly. Importantly, serums are usually applied one at a time to avoid weighing down the skin - meanwhile, elixirs can be combined with each other as well as with other skin care steps.
