Introducing SKOON's Revolutionary NANOPOWER Serum Range

When it comes to skincare, finding the right products that deliver visible results can be quite a challenge. However, with SKOON. NANOPOWER Face Serums, achieving radiant and healthy skin becomes easier than ever before.

In this article, we will delve into the world of SKOON. NANOPOWER Face Serums, exploring their unique characteristics, benefits, hero ingredients, and the science behind their effectiveness. We will also provide guidance on incorporating these serums into your skincare routine, choosing the right serum for your skin type, and maximising their effectiveness.

Let's embark on this journey of discovery together!

SKOON. NANOPOWER Serum Range

 

Understanding SKOON. NANOPOWER Face Serums

Let’s start by breaking down some of the important terminology we use. When it comes to high-performance skincare, the term "skin actives" frequently arises.

 

What are skin actives?

These potent ingredients play a pivotal role in achieving remarkable results. Skin actives can be classified as either oil-soluble or water-soluble, depending on their solubility properties. Generally, water-soluble skin actives packaged in dropper bottles are called water-based serums.

 

What are face serums?

Face serums are lightweight skincare products that contain a higher concentration of active ingredients (such as Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C), compared to typical facial moisturisers.

 

What are SKOON. NANOPOWER Face Serums?

Enter the hottest beauty trend of 2023! SKOON. NANOPOWER Face Serums are innovative skincare serums that are specially formulated to target specific skin concerns and deliver powerful results.

These serums are meticulously crafted using cutting-edge nanotechnology - a high voltage is applied to our liquid serum which stretches the liquid into thin thread-like fibres.

Once the liquid evaporates, the dry fibres are pressed into nanofiber “pillows", encapsulating the pre-measured actives. These unique waterless pillows are aptly named NanoPillows.

The unique nanofiber format enhances the penetration of skin actives, reaching deep into the dermal layers to provide nourishment. All it takes is a spritz of SKIN PJ's to activate and release the concentrated skin actives directly to where they are needed.

 

What are NANOPOWER'ed skin actives?

NANOPOWER’edskin actives are highly concentrated, waterless actives that are encapsulated within the nanofiber pillows.

The Electro Ball spinning technology we use allows for much higher percentages of actives to be spun into a NanoPillow formula. We call this phenomenon “nanopower actives” or simply "nanopower".

Fast fact: There is a limit to the percentages of water-soluble actives that can be dissolved to produce traditional water-based face serums. The percentage of water-soluble ingredients - like Vitamin C or Hyaluronic Acid - in liquid face serums, is usually between 0.1 – 5%.

Here's why we are wowed out by this truly mind-boggling new nanotechnology:

What are SKOON. NanoPillow Face Serums?

The first product of its kind to launch in the global beauty market, SKOON. NanoPillow Face Serums are made with 100% “NANOPOWER’edskin actives in the form of tiny, little fibres spun into small, soft, skin-loving pillows that promote optimal absorbance into the skin. These unique waterless pillows are aptly named NanoPillows.

The entire NanoPillow is one concentrated active made up of tiny fibres with high percentages of water-soluble skin actives: Hyaluronic Acid (NANOPOWER HA), Vitamin C (NANOPOWER C) and Vitamin B3 (NANOPOWER B3) – all without any water in the pillow!

 

What active ingredients are in the NANOPOWER Serum Range?

 

NANOPOWER HA - Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid is a sugar molecule that occurs naturally in the skin. It is the main component of the skin's extracellular matrix and is considered to be one of the key players in the tissue regeneration process of wound healing.

Hyaluronic acid is a humectant, meaning that the HA molecules draw hydration to the upper layers of your skin like a sponge, providing the ultimate skin-plumping, dewy effect.

Thanks to increased skin moisture retention, Hyaluronic acid can improve skin elasticity and firmness, helping to reduce the signs of premature ageing – like fine lines and wrinkles. When the skin is protected and hydrated, cell production increases = plumper skin cells.

A core ingredient in SKOON.’s NanoPillow Face Serums is 20% Low Molecular Weight (LMW) Hyaluronic Acid (NANOPOWER HA), as opposed to only 1-2% found in traditional topical serums.

NANOPOWER HA - Hyaluronic Acid

 

NANOPOWER C - Vitamin C

L-Ascorbic acid is the purest and most biologically available form of Vitamin C, offering multifunctional skin benefits. However, ascorbic acid is generally a very unstable Vitamin C molecule that oxidises fast. For this reason, traditional liquid serums use other forms of Vitamin C that are more stable, but less potent.

SKOON. WOW-WOW WONDER+ NanoPillow Face Serum contains 25% L-Ascorbic acid (NANOPOWER C) which is only activated when spritzed with SKIN PJ’s Activator face mist. This gives your skin the purest and most potent form of Vitamin C. The ultimate skin treat.

NANOPOWER C - Vitamin C

 

NANOPOWER B3 - Vitamin B3

Niacinamide – also known as Vitamin B3 – is another powerhouse skincare ingredient that doesn't get the glory it deserves. Niacinamide delivers a multitude of topical skin benefits, from skin-brightening to minimising breakouts, as well as reducing fine lines and wrinkles.

SKOON. PIXIE DUST NanoPillow Face Serum contains an incredible 17% skin barrier repairing Niacinamide (NANOPOWER B3).

How are SKOON. NANOPOWER Face Serums different from traditional water-base serums?

Unlike traditional water-base serums, our planet-loving sustainable SKOON. NANOPOWER Face Serum formulations provide your skin with concentrated actives instead of water.

This innovative approach doesn't discredit water-based skincare; rather, it offers you the opportunity to precisely deliver the perfect amount of actives to your skin every single time, eliminating any guesswork. This unique delivery system ensures that your skin receives the full benefits of these potent formulations, resulting in remarkable improvements over time.

By choosing waterless beauty, you unlock a multitude of benefits:

  • Firstly, you can bid farewell to preservatives, stabilisers, and filler ingredients that are commonly found in water-based products.
  • Secondly, the risk of ingredient oxidation is significantly reduced, ensuring that the ingredients remain in their purest and most potent form until the very last drop.

Besides the environmental impact - and the fact that water-based formulations generally come in bigger, heavier packs that have a bigger carbon footprint - why is the water component in traditional skincare less than ideal? Let’s quickly break it down:

Currently, water is the core ingredient in most traditional skin care. 'Aqua' is a solvent or filler ingredient, making up 70-80% of the formulation. In other words, H₂O acts as a carrier for a small percentage of active ingredients, and it's difficult to ensure uniform application of active ingredients to your skin. The amount of product applied will vary from one person to the next.

  • Applying too little product can't guarantee effective results.
  • Applying too much results is unnecessary waste.


Quick eco fact: The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) reports that two-thirds of the world’s population will be impacted by water shortages by 2025.

How to Incorporate SKOON. NANOPOWER Face Serums into Your Skincare Routine

SKOON. NANOPOWER Face Serums offer a powerful addition to your skincare routine, providing targeted benefits to address specific skin concerns. To make the most of these serums and optimise their efficacy, here is a step-by-step guide on incorporating them into your daily skincare regimen for mornings and evenings:

 

Step 1: Cleanse your skin

DAILY AM or PM: Begin by cleansing your face using a gentle cleanser suited to your skin type. This helps to remove any impurities, excess oil, or makeup residue, preparing your skin for the application of the serums.

 

Step 2: Apply SKOON. NANOPOWER Face Serum

  1. DAILY AM or PM: Drop one WOW WOW WONDER+ NanoPillow or PIXIE DUST NanoPillow into the cupped palm of your clean, dry hand by gently tapping the container with your finger. If more than one NanoPillow falls out, simply tilt your hand and the container in the opposite direction and drop the extra NanoPillows back into the container. Reseal the container.
  2. Activate WOW WOW WONDER+ NanoPillow or PIXIE DUST NanoPillow in the palm of your hand using 4-6 spritzes of SKOON. SKIN PJ’s Activator face mist. Be sure to spritz directly onto the NanoPillow.
  3. Spritz the entire face with SKIN PJ’s Activator face mist.
  4. Wait a few seconds, then mix with fingertips until the NanoPillow serum has completely dissolved into a clear liquid with a slightly sticky consistency.
  5. Using fingertips, apply the activated liquid serum onto your face and then massage until fully absorbed and dried.

Give the serum a few moments to fully absorb into the skin. This allows the active ingredients to penetrate deeply and work their magic. Be mindful not to rush this step as it is crucial for optimal results.

Step 3: Moisturise

DAILY AM or PM: After the serum has been absorbed, follow up by applying a dollop of WRAP ME UP Therapy Face Cream onto your face to effectively prevent evaporation of the water-based actives. This helps to lock in the serum's benefits and provide additional hydration to the skin.

 

Step 4: Protect with SPF

DAILY AM: Every morning, as the final step in your skincare routine, apply 1-2 pumps of SUNNYBONANI Day Defense Sun Cream SPF 20 onto your face, taking care around the delicate eye area. Apply extra sun cream on the neck and décolletage.

**For the WOW WOW WONDER+ NanoPillow that is in the HYDROSURGE Duo Pack, use only in the morning, if you use Vitamin A at night.

Face Mask (at least twice monthly)

  • If using the SKOON. BFF SLEEPOVER face mask, spritz the entire face with SKIN PJ’s Activator face mist then apply the mask and spritz with more SKIN PJ’s Activator face mist.
  • After 3-4 minutes, remove the wet paper mask cover. Massage the remaining nanofiber mask residue into the skin. Spritz with SKIN PJ's Activator face mist for final hydration.
  • Follow by applying a layer of cream plus 2-3 drops of an oil-based concentrate for effective lock-in of the water-based actives.
  • Leave on overnight.

Recommended usage frequency of SKOON. NANOPOWER Face Serums for optimal results

For best results, it is recommended to use SKOON. NANOPOWER Face Serums once daily, in the morning or evening. If using vitamin A at night, only use the HYDROSURGE Duo Pack in the morning.

However, it's important to note that everyone's skin is unique, so you can adjust the frequency based on your individual needs and preferences.

Remember, it's essential to give each product a few moments to absorb before applying the next one. This layering technique allows the serums to penetrate deeply into the skin while ensuring optimal hydration and protection.
