Frequently asked questions

1. What are B3 DEFENSE™ Barrier Repair Waterless Serum Pillows?

B3 DEFENSE™ are innovative waterless nanofibre serum pillows powered by patented SNC BEST® Ball Electrospinning Technology. Activated by a fine mist, each NanoPillow transforms into a fresh, lightweight water serum that helps strengthen the skin barrier, replenish hydration and restore healthier-looking skin.

2. What makes B3 DEFENSE™ different from a traditional serum?

Unlike conventional serums that are bottled as ready-made liquids, B3 DEFENSE™ remains completely waterless until activated. A fine mist transforms each NanoPillow™ into a fresh water serum moments before application for a unique skincare ritual.

3. Why is a healthy skin barrier important?

Your skin barrier helps lock in moisture while protecting against everyday environmental stressors. When it becomes weakened, skin can feel dry, tight and uncomfortable. B3 DEFENSE™ is designed to help replenish hydration and support a stronger, more resilient skin barrier.

4. Is B3 DEFENSE™ suitable for sensitive skin?

The formula is designed to support dry, stressed and barrier-compromised skin. If you have particularly sensitive skin, we recommend performing a patch test before first use.

5. Can I use it every day?

Yes. B3 DEFENSE™ is suitable for daily use, morning and evening, to help maintain a healthy, resilient skin barrier.

6. Can I use it with Retinal?

Yes. B3 DEFENSE™ pairs well with Vitamin A products and is an ideal companion to help replenish hydration and support the skin barrier when using retinoids.

7. Do I need the Activator Face Mist?

Yes. The Activator Face Mist transforms the waterless NanoPillow™ into a fresh, lightweight water serum. It is an essential part of the B3 DEFENSE™ ritual.

8. How many NanoPillows™ should I use?

One NanoPillow™ provides a single application for the face, neck and décolletage.

9. How long before I see results?

Many users notice immediate hydration and comfort after the first application. With continued use, skin appears smoother, stronger and more resilient while the skin barrier becomes better supported.

10. Do I need to rinse it off?

No. B3 DEFENSE™ is a leave-on treatment and should be allowed to absorb fully into the skin.

11. Can I use it with exfoliating acids?

Yes. If using AHAs or BHAs, introduce products gradually and always wear sunscreen during the day.

Is my skin purging or breaking out from a new product?

1. What is skin purging?

Skin purging is a temporary breakout triggered by active ingredients that speed up skin cell turnover (e.g., retinoids, exfoliating acids, Vitamin C). This process brings clogged pores to the surface faster before the skin clears.

2. Purging vs. Breakouts

Purging: Occurs in usual breakout areas, consists of small uniform pimples, and lasts 4–6 weeks.

Breakout/Reaction: Appears in new areas, lasts beyond 6 weeks, and may include painful cysts, irritation, or rashes.

3. What causes skin purging?

Ingredients that accelerate cell turnover include:

✔ Retinoids (RetinAL, Retinol, Tretinoin)

✔ Exfoliating Acids (AHAs like Glycolic Acid, BHAs like Salicylic Acid)

✔ Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid)

✔ Benzoyl Peroxide, Azelaic Acid, Enzymes

4. What causes breakouts?

Hormonal fluctuations: (e.g., menstruation, pregnancy)
Stress & diet: (dairy, high-glycaemic foods)
Clogged pores: (heavy products, comedogenic ingredients)
Bacteria & environmental factors: (humidity, pollution)

5. Should you stop using a product if you’re purging?

No—purging means the product is working! Stay consistent but avoid adding new actives to prevent irritation.

Should_you_stop_using_a_product_if_you_re_purging_700x760_70827049-34e6-4cbf-ab2f-95a0fcff1581

6. How to minimise purging

Introduce actives gradually: start once a week (evening), then increase to 2–3 times per week if no irritation after two weeks.
Use gentle, hydrating skincare alongside actives.
Avoid over-exfoliation and harsh scrubs.
Stay consistent—purging is temporary!

7. Can non-active ingredients cause purging?

No—only cell-turnover ingredients trigger purging. If a product without actives is causing breakouts, it’s likely irritation or clogged pores.

8. What if it’s a breakout, not purging?

Stop using the product and observe changes.
Check for comedogenic ingredients.
Patch test before full use.

Desiree S.

Really loving how this product has left my skin feeling and brought some revitalization to it.

Jan d.

I think both SKOON nano pillow technology products are outstanding and worth every cent. I saw an immediate positive change in the condition of my skin. I have been using it for months now after my Vitamin C serum in the morning.

Marlize V.

Skin more radiant and soft

Shelley H.

So far, so good!

Melissa G.

I have never had this soft skin in years...Absolutely love this product. I purchased both on Skoon website and on Superbalist..

Nicola L.

My skin really feels amazing after every use. Soft and silky, gone is my dry skin!

Melinda P.

Don’t be fooled by the size as it packs a punch of hydration! I once had forgotten it at home on a trip and I could feel my skin was dryer.

Ame L.

Ten stars! My face has already shown drastic improvement with using the am/pm routine products for my skin concern. And it’s been just about a month that I’ve started using skoon. I am amazed. I just worry sometimes that a lot of the serum gets lost on my hand after dissolving the pillow instead of all the product being on my face. But maybe I’m just greedy and incorrect with the amount of product you actually need to apply. I’ve had 3 or 4 days where I’ve applied 2 pillows at a time. Going to buy the hydrosurg as well.

Marthie A.

Will definitely recommend this. This product is a must have.

Carin G.

Loved both products. My skin is highly reactive so I expected a breakout, but none happened. My skin is loving the added moisture without making it any more oily.

Shannon

B3 Barrier Boost is an absolute game changer for my skin - it's really helping my skin to heal from acne scarring, and I've noticed that my skin tone is evening out, so the scar marks are less noticeable. I love it!

Annelize O.

My skin loves SKOON products! I’ve been using SKOON for the last year and get many compliments how hydrated my skin is. SKOON is soft on my skin and shows no irritation or redness. I can highly recommend SKOON to the more mature skin ;)

Lisa L.

Another outstanding product offered and created by Skoon. Can never of without my nano pillows. It certainly is a game changer, for sure.

Elene S.

Within a month I could see a smoother skin tone

Grace C.

Love this product! It makes my skin radiant.

Candace D.

WOW! This really is a game changer for sensitive skin. No more hot red cheeks, no more breakouts. I could not be happier, the application is really nice as there is zero waste, or chance of using to much product.

Rea A.

I have been struggling with rosacea breakouts and could not find anything to help heal the skin and reduce the breakout frequency. Since I started using Skoon products especially the B3 Barrier Boost NanoPower Duo I haven't had a breakout. My skin is healthier and less red than it has been in ages. Best product ever.

Martine J.

I’m not sure about this product. My neck still itches and goes red after applying the little square infusions. Is this normal? I bought this product to desensitise and build up barriers but see no difference.

Lindsay C.

Another great product. Love the application!

Mandi B.

Loving the B3 barrier boost. I've noticed less breakouts and more hydrated skin without feeling oily. The nanopillows run out before the mist is finished so I do wish that they would sell the productrs separately as well.

Marijke B.

The best purchase for my skincare routine. Has really cleared up my congested skin, minimised breakouts, soothed+smoothed my skin and texture. Love the high content of Hyaluronic acid and great for sensitive skin.

Kirsten P.

I love this product! The consistency took some getting used. My skin feels hydrated without feeling oily and it has calmed my irritated areas down.

Stacey-Lee d.

I absolutely love this product. My skin feels smoothers, more hydrated and pimples are no longer an issue. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

Thandi

This Barrier Boost NanoPillow is a game-changer for my skin! It instantly hydrates and plumps, leaving my skin soft and radiant. The lightweight texture absorbs quickly, and the results are noticeable. A must-have for anyone looking to restore their skin's moisture barrier.

Nicole M.

I have very sensitive skin that is prone to redness and breakouts. I started about 10 days ago with this product and the change is remarkable - my skin is clear and looks and feels amazing.

Kirsten B.

This stuff is amazing! I’ve tried many products and I haven’t had dehydration/ flaky skin for the first winter in as long as I can remember. I will continue using this product.

Belinda D.

I photographed my skin before, during, after, and two weeks after the product was finished. I could not believe the difference in the pigmentation on my cheeks. It continued to improve even after the product was finished. Try it for yourself.

Leanne R.

I loved this product! It's so innovative. I really enjoyed the interactive process of 'activating' the nano pillows with the Skin PJs mister, knowing that it was at its most perfect in the moment I was applying it. I loved the quantify of serum produced, it was a generous amount. I loved how meditative the experience was. My skin loved the serum too, I noticed improvements with my skin tone over 28 days, and the fine lines. This is a keeper.

S H.

I have so enjoyed using Skoon products and it felt as though my skin drank up the serum. I love the way my skin feels, hydrated and nourished and looks brighter, too.

Bernette B.

What an amazingly innovative product! After using it for a month, my skin definitely feels more hydrated, plumper, and brighter. It has also resulted in less redness. My skin felt smoother and I experienced fewer breakouts and blemishes. HIGHLY recommend!

Tasleem A.

This has worked extremely well for my skin. I have never seen such amazing and quick results before. I’m so content with my overall experience with the clean ingredients in each Skoon product. I love the efficacy of the waterless serum. Great product!

Kelsey O.

Tested the product for 28 days and saw wonderful results. Skin wasn't dry, redness reduced and frown lines reduced not clearly visible. I would definitely use this product again. Had very few blemishes too. Easy to use product.

Andrea T.

Since using the pixie dust nano pillow, my skin has changed significantly. The texture of my skin is more smoother and it's overall health has improved. My new fav SKOON product!

lara n.

This product made my skin feel totally content. I found myself wanting to use less foundation while using this product because it truly made a difference to the appearance and feel of my skin. I'm definitely getting myself more of this and would love to try the WOW-WOW WONDER+ nanopillow serum as well.

Ceara S.

I loved the unique aspect of this product. My skin felt so smooth and plump afterwards. Much like one feels after going for a facial! It was relatively quick to use.

Ika v.

I love using the Pixie Dust - it is so easy to use and reduced my skincare time by so much! Just one product, once a day - I didn't feel the need for any other serums. My skin texture was smooth and clear almost instantly after I started using it. After I ran out of Pixie Dust, within a week my regular cheek and chin pimples started coming back. I would go as far as replacing all my other serums with Pixie Dust going forward because this product really delivered results.

My skin is looking clear, my blemishes are faded, my pores look smaller, I've experienced no breakouts and my sensitive skin is loving the nourishment. The Hyaluronic acid is also hydrating my skin to another level! Highly recommend the product for brighter and smoother skin.
