Youthful CEFQ Serum™
A lightweight daytime serum combining complementary antioxidant and skin-conditioning ingredients to support brighter, smoother and more resilient-looking skin.
Your Quick Start
What It Is Designed to Do
Youthful CEFQ Serum™ is designed as a complementary antioxidant system for daily use. Its CEFQ concept brings together vitamin C, vitamin E, ferulic acid and coenzyme Q10 within the Green Micellar™ formulation system.
- support brighter and more even-looking skin;
- help improve the appearance of dullness;
- provide antioxidant support against everyday environmental stress;
- support smoother, more refined-looking skin;
- help maintain a healthy-looking skin condition;
- complement sunscreen as part of a daytime routine.
This serum does not replace sunscreen. Cosmetic results vary with skin condition, routine consistency and individual response.
Your Morning Routine
Allow each layer to spread evenly before applying the next product.
Powered by Green Micellar™ Technology
A lightweight micellar formulation system designed to incorporate, protect and distribute compatible cosmetic actives across the applied area. In Youthful CEFQ Serum™, it supports a complementary antioxidant system centred on vitamins C and E, ferulic acid and coenzyme Q10.
CEFQ: Complementary Antioxidant Support
Vitamin C + Vitamin E
Vitamin C supports brightness and a more even-looking complexion, while vitamin E provides complementary lipid-phase antioxidant and skin-conditioning support.
Ferulic Acid + Coenzyme Q10
Ferulic acid and coenzyme Q10 broaden the antioxidant support system and help address the visible effects associated with everyday environmental exposure.
Detailed Guidance
How to use
- Cleanse the face and neck, then gently dry.
- Apply 2–3 drops and spread in a thin, even layer.
- Avoid direct contact with the eyes.
- Follow with AquaLock Serum™, another suitable moisturiser or both where additional hydration is required.
- Finish the morning routine with broad-spectrum sunscreen.
Begin once daily. If you are introducing several new products, add them one at a time so that any sensitivity is easier to identify.
Recommended day-and-night routine
Morning
Cleanse → Youthful CEFQ Serum™ → AquaLock Serum™ or moisturiser if required → Sunscreen
Evening
Cleanse → Q‑Retinol Pro Serum™ or Night Gel™ → AquaLock Serum™ if required
This separates daytime antioxidant care from night-time retinol renewal and keeps the routine simple.
Suitable pairings and routine advice
Youthful CEFQ Serum™ may generally be paired with a mild cleanser, gentle hydrating mist, AquaLock Serum™, a non-exfoliating moisturiser and broad-spectrum sunscreen.
If your routine also contains retinol or stronger exfoliating products, a simple option is to use CEFQ in the morning and the other active at night. Reduce complexity if dryness or discomfort develops.
What to expect and troubleshooting
The serum should spread in a light layer and sit comfortably beneath moisturiser and sunscreen. Improvements in brightness, smoothness and overall appearance develop gradually with consistent use.
If stinging, redness or persistent discomfort develops, stop use until the skin feels normal. Reintroduce less frequently, simplify the routine and avoid applying to irritated or recently exfoliated skin. Discontinue if irritation persists.
Important precautions and patch testing
- For external use only.
- Avoid direct contact with the eyes.
- Do not apply to broken, irritated or inflamed skin.
- Discontinue use if persistent irritation occurs.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Store away from excessive heat and direct light.
- Follow the directions and precautions printed on the packaging.
Patch test
Before first use, apply a small amount behind the ear or along the jawline and observe for 24–48 hours. Do not proceed if marked redness, swelling, itching or persistent discomfort develops. A patch test cannot guarantee that irritation will not occur during continued use.
