This lightweight snow algae serum can be applied after cleansing and toning and before your moisturizer. In addition to snow algae, it's made with soothing aloe vera, skin-purifying salicylic acid and an array of botanical extracts, including passionflower, white tea and green tea. It also features an ingredient called Antarcticine, a fermented extract taken from a strain of bacteria discovered in Antarctica.
Let us take a second to introduce you to Dimitri James, a celebrated esthetician and makeup artist who founded his own skin care line, Skinn Cosmetics. The brand's Collagenesis Eye Stem Rejen Elite combines the anti-aging powers of snow algae with ultra-hydrating glacier water and skin-fortifying alpine rose. In addition to bold formulation, the product also boasts innovative, patent-pending packaging — "a multilamellar encapsulation delivery system."
Here's another splurge for you, this one from skin care brand Rodial. True to the brand, this serum contains dragon's blood, a bright-red sap/resin from the Dragon Tree that is known for its skin healing and firming abilities. It also contains snow algae, hyaluronic acid, kelp extract, wheat protein and castor oil. The result is a super hydrating, anti-aging serum that calms skin and boosts skin integrity.
