This is my go-to product after any intense facial treatment or acne outbreak. I used this and Seaweed Body Gel after a C02 laser treatment and healed much quicker than expected and better! The Estheticians were so impressed!

I use this serum as my moisturizer at night in the summer. Sweating at night, I need something that absorbs quickly and won’t cause outbreaks. It makes my skin feel nice and soft, and has healed a lot of capillary damage I used to notice on my face. Definitely builds collagen, helps rosacea, and keeps my skin healthy.

I tried a sample and was really impressed with it. I have very sensitive skin always reacting to well… everything. This gel was soothing and moisturizing. My angry red skin immediately felt and looked better. I was so happy, I looked up All things Seaflora and just place my order. Can’t wait 😊
