Face Cleansing

Double facial cleansing is a two-step cleansing that relates to the removal of makeup and larger (more visible) impurities, and then the cleansing of the rest of the makeup and smaller (eye invisible) impurities. 

Double cleansing is often also called the double cleanse or DC method. It is based on the principle of "similar to similar". Taking into account that UV filters and makeup are fat-soluble, in the first step, it is good to remove all layers from the face with a greasier product, and then wash the remnants with the help of a water-based product.

The choice of products depends on past habits, skin type and cosmetic preferences (natural, conventional). For the first step we recommend using Micellar Solution Immortelle, Micellar Solution 2in1 Immortelle, Nourishing Milk Immortelle or Professional Microemulsion, while Micellar Gel Immortelle, Micellar Foam Immortelle or Amino Gel are recommended for the second step of skincare.  

As they are intended for the second step of skin cleansing, Micellar Gel, Micellar Foam and Amino Gel are not intended as products that will completely remove decorative cosmetics, especially when it comes to powder and waterproof mascara.
In this case, we recommend that you include double cleanse method in your routine.
Microemulsion is formulated to be used on the entire face, including the eyes. It dissolves all make-up - powder, mascara, eyebrow pencil. It is used so that it is applied to a dry face with dry palms, massaged and washed off, without using pads.
Technically, it can, but it depends on your habits, the way you apply make-up, the strength of sebum secretion and the like.

For example, dry skin that does not wear make-up will only be suitable for washing with water in the morning and washing with Amino gel in the evening. Mixed skin that does not wear make-up sometimes only needs Microemulsion in the evening.

Please note that when using sun protection, due to adequate removal of SPF, deep cleansing is necessary and in this case the double cleanse method is the ideal choice.

Peels and Exfoliants

For most skin types, such a combination would be overloading and potentially irritating, so we do not recommend parallel use in the same routine.

Microexfoliant is a face scrub of powder type which is "activated" with water. In contact with water, the exfoliating powder creates a thick, creamy deep exfoliating paste that removes dead skin cells, thoroughly cleanses it and prepares it for a skincare routine. 

Salicylic acid at a concentration of 1% brings exfoliating and prolonged properties to the skin.. It belongs to beta hydroxyl acid (BHA), and due to its proven positive effect on mixed, oily and reactive skin prone to irregularities in the form of enlarged pores, open and closed comedones, pimples and acne, it is very often used as an active substance in treatment cosmetics.

Salicylic acid has anti-inflammatory and comedolytic effects (prevents and relieves the appearance of comedones), deeply cleanses pores and prevents their blockage, regulates the secretion of sebum, removes dead skin cells, refreshes the complexion and gradually relieves the visibility of gradual spots and hyperpigmentation. On the other hand, mechanical exfoliation in Microexfoliant is carried out by natural, round and tender grains of castor wax. It is used up to 3 times a week, but this primarily depends on the type of skin, getting used to acids and the rest of the routine as well as other habits. For most skins, it will be enough to use it once or twice a week.

The product comes in practical packaging with a teaspoon that facilitates the dosage of the powder. 

In users with more pronounced sensitive skin, it is recommended that Microexfoliant be applied only if such a treatment product is necessary, only once a week or less often, and that it is left on the skin slightly shorter than the recommended time.

In addition, in such a case, it is good to do a tolerability test on the forearm before use on the face (the reaction is monitored for 48 hours). The product should not be combined in the same routine with other cosmetics containing exfoliating acids and retinoids (retinol), and it is advisable to use it in evening care, with mandatory sun protection during the day.

Microexfoliant is used up to 3 times a week on all skin types, with the exception of more pronounced sensitive skin, skin prone to capillary changes, rosaceas and similar conditions. Most skins will be comfortable with usage of once or twice a week.

Upotreba Mikroeksfolijanta se ne preporučuje kod oštećene, iritirane i vidljivo upaljene kože s otvorenim ranicama te kod ljudi alergičnih na salicilnu kiselinu. Ne koristi se ni u trudnoći. Budući da se radi o formi pilirajućeg praha, važno je pažljivo rukovati proizvodom i izbjegavati udisanje praha.

Due to the action of salicylic acid, a slight burning sensation is possible, which is a sign of the active action of this substance. If the burning sensation intensifies and annealing occurs, the product should be rinsed immediately and further use discontinued.

Assuming that it is a skin suitable for use of this type of product (undamaged, insensitive skin) and the use of a high protective factor, the Microexfoliant should also be used during the summer, always in the evening routine and with abundant hydration after exfoliation. 

Protection from the sun during the day is mandatory.

The Microexfoliant contains 1% salicylic (BHA) acid which, as well as other acids (excluding hyaluronic) and retinoids, works by accelerating cellular change, which is why the purging phase is possible, especially in the skin otherwise prone to irregularities.

This phase is generally short-lived, transient in nature and it is not necessary that it will happen to each user of the product. 

The same is possible when using AHA PHA Exfoliating Toner, Vitamin Serum R² and RA.

For most skin types, such a combination would be overloading and potentially irritating, so we do not recommend parallel use in the same routine.

In case of additional questions, we suggest that you contact us for an individual consultation.

In order for acids to be as effective as exfoliant, it is necessary that the products have an acidic pH. Applying such products can temporarily cause redness, but it should be withdrawn relatively quickly. Redness lasting several days, a feeling of strong burning and other similar phenomena are a sign of irritation and probable damage to the barrier (which usually occurs due to too frequent use or inadequate rest of the routine), as a result of which the product should be left out of it.

A reminder, exfoliating toner is applied exclusively on dry skin, usually up to three times a week in the evening, with the obligatory application of sunscreen products during the day. 

It is not recommended for highly sensitive or damaged skin, and parallel use with retinoids or other AHA and BHA acids (layering and combining in the same routine) is not recommended. AHA and PHA acids can be used during pregnancy and lactation, unless there are obstacles of an individual nature to this. 

Peeling tonic AHA PHA is used in the evening, and is applied directly with the palms of the hands on a clean and dry face. In this way, we prevent irritation by friction, but also preserve the product.

The tonic is followed by a neutral cream. The frequency of use is determined according to the needs of the skin. SPF is necessary when using this product.

Face Serums

Serumi se mogu kombinirati kroz dan, u jutarnjoj i večernjoj njezi lica, uz kremu nakon njih. Za nanošenje ujutro, a zbog fotoprotektivnog djelovanja idealan je Vitaminski serum C, Vitaminski serum B3 ili Hijaluron hidrator 4H uz SPF zaštitu, dok se navečer mogu koristiti Vitaminski serum R², Peptidni serum P ili Vitaminski serum RA.

Serums are not recommended to be used together at the same time (layered application), i.e. in the same routine of care due to potential irritation and/or loss of effect.

Mixed skin without shine: Vitamin Serum C (+ SPF) in the morning, Vitamin Serum R² in the evening

Mješovita i masna koža sklona nepravilnostima, crvenilu, aknama i znakovima starenja: Vitaminski serum C (+ SPF) ujutro, Vitaminski serum RA uvečer uz postupno uvođenje

Masna koža sklona jakom lučenju sebuma, aknama i mrljicama: Vitaminski serum B3 ujutro uz SPF, Vitaminska krema B3 uvečer

Dehydrated or dry skin with the first and visible signs of aging: Hyaluron Hydrator 4Am, Peptide Serum P In Evening

Skin prone to gradual acne stains: Vitamin serum C in the morning (+ SPF), Vitamin Serum RA in the evening

Dry skin with hyperpigmentation stains and fine lines: Vitamin Serum C in the morning (+ SPF), Peptide Serum P in the evening

Due to the high percentage of hyaluronic acid in the composition, which attracts moisture, for a full and proper effect of hydration, the serum must be applied to a clean, well-moisturized face, for which Hidro tonic can be used.

The care should then be completed with a face cream according to the skin type. Hyaluronic acid, as well as aloe vera, can have a slightly sticky effect on the skin, which disappears a few minutes after applying the serum.

Serums containing hyaluronic acid are Hyaluron hydrator 4H, Peptide serum P, Vitamin serum C+, Vitamin serum R².
All products can be used during pregnancy, except Microexfoliant (salicylic acid) and Vitamin Serum R² and RA (retinoids).
Technically, It can. On the other hand, in addition to Immortelle creams, we suggest using more neutral serums such as Hyaluron Hydrator 4H and Peptide Serum P.
Products with vitamin C can absolutely be used when exposed to the sun, especially if they are paired with other antioxidants such as ferulic acid and vitamin E.

They act as antioxidants against external influences (primarily UV radiation) and complete the photoprotective effect of sun protection products. That's why we recommend using them in morning care with SPF.

Since it is not based on phototoxic and "heavier" active substances of synthetic origin, the serum can also be used during the summer, ideally in the evening routine.

Sunscreen cream is recommended as a prevention of the formation of new hyperpigmentation spots and for maintaining the effect of the serum.

Peptide serum P contains the recommended percentage of Matrixyl 3000™ and Matrixyla sinthe'6™ of a total of 5%.

This is also the recommended concentration of these active substances by the raw material manufacturer.

Since it does not contain potentially irritating ingredients, Peptide Serum P can also be applied to the eye area, with caution and avoiding contact with the eyes themselves. The same goes for Hyaluron Hydrator 4H.

We do not recommend applying serums such as Vitamin Emulsion C+, Vitamin Serum RA and Vitamin Serum B3 to the area around the eyes.

Vitamin serum R² contains 0.1% retinol (retinil palmitate), which makes it highly tolerable on most skin types and ideal for starting care with this active substance.
Assuming that it is a skin suitable for the use of this type of product and the use of a high protective factor during the day, the serum could also be used during the summer, always in the evening routine and with a gradual introduction to reduce the possibility of irritation. 

There is no precise division, but indicatively the VITAMIN SERUM RA is intended for:

- skins accustomed to milder forms of retinoid, i.e. people who wish to cross to more specific skincare

- oily skins prone to blockage of pores, acne and pimples

- balanced skin with hyperpigmentation, wrinkles and fine lines

- thin, sun-damaged skin that needs regeneration (with very conservative introduction)

In case of doubt, it is best to contact us via social media or email for a personalized recommendation.

The serum is not intended for extremely sensitive, damaged skin or skin prone to irritation, reactive skin, skin with chronic conditions, as well as for use during pregnancy.
RA vitamin serum is not recommended to be used during pregnancy and immediately before planning a pregnancy.

Temporary redness and a slight burning sensation are possible, which is rare, temporary and transient (getting used to the retinoid in the routine). If it persists or worsens, discontinue use.

Full UVA and UVB protection from the sun with a high protection factor is mandatory all year round.

Along with RA Vitamin serum, it is good to apply gentle cleansing with non-drying cleansing products such as Microemulsion and Amino gel, and possibly a neutral cream or oil that will lock moisture into the skin. SPF during the day is mandatory, for which we suggest Professional face fluid SPF 30 or face cream SPF 50.

It is not recommended to use in parallel with acids (except hyaluronic acid) and other strong active substances or their concentrations (for example, vitamin C) in the same routine.

It is not recommended to apply it immediately after using Microexfoliant. As a precaution, at the beginning of serum use it is necessary to temporarily pause the use of acids even in more resistant skin, at least for a short period of time.

It is necessary to introduce the serum into the routine in the evening, on a clean dry face. An amount of 2 pomegranate seeds is applied to the entire face, avoiding the eye area, and then applying moisturizer and/or oil without other active substances (without vitamin C, other retinoids, AHA/BHA/PHA acids) upon absorption.

It is used twice to three times a week and monitors the condition of the skin, then gradually increases use depending on the needs. With resistant, accustomed skin can be used every night. More details about the use can be read here.

The serum contains 0.1% retinal (retinaldehyde) which, as well as other retinoids and BHA/AHA/PHA acids, works by accelerating cellular change, making the purging phase possible, especially in the skin otherwise prone to irregularities. This phase is generally short-lived, transient in nature and it is not necessary that it will happen to each user of the product.

 

In skins with a stronger appearance of closed comedones before the introduction of this type of product, it is good to do a mechanical cleaning, and start with this particular product after the skin heals.

We do not recommend use in the area around the eyes as the product is very strong and formulated primarily for facial skin that is much thicker and physiologically different from the skin around the eyes. Our recommendation is general (exceptions exist and some skins will tolerate application independently or with buffering),but by recommendation as a manufacturer we conscientiously want to prevent any unwanted irritations as we are aware of the concentration of active substances and the potency of this product.

The reduction of retinaldehyde degradation was achieved through the use of molecular "carriers" (Cyclodextrin), synergistic antioxidant potential of astaxanthin and the use of opaque airless packaging.

It is not necessary to keep the product in the refrigerator, but it is necessary not to expose the serum to high temperature and direct sunlight.

These serums are distinguished by many details, most notably the form of retinoids and the concentration of the active substance, but also the rest of the formulation and the way of using and adjusting the routine. More details are available in the blog post.

Face cream

Although the entire Immortelle collection has been redesigned in terms of packaging, illustrations, colors and communication, the formulation and composition of the product, including the cream from the Immortelle collection, are the same from the beginning and have not changed. 
These are natural cosmetics certified by the independent NATRUE certificate for natural cosmetics, which confirms the top quality of ingredients and final products.

The creams do not contain added synthetic fragrance (perfume) and therefore do not mask the smell of the ingredients. Natural ingredients may differ from batch to batch, in smell, color and other characteristics, which does not affect the correctness or effectiveness of the product itself.

Our CC cream contains a protective factor of 12 that is independently not enough when staying outdoors for a long time and in the warmer part of the year. The factor is achieved using a mineral UV filter that is part of the pigment itself.

We suggest using a dedicated sun protection product.

From the first use of skincare creams it's desirable to start out with cosmetics made with more natural composition. Face creams from the Immortelle Collection are NATRUE certified for natural cosmetics, formulated with exquisite natural ingredients, primarily essential oil of immortelle, but also with other nourishing oils and valuable herbal extracts. The best performance is achieved by regular, long-term use and combining with other products from the collection in the skincare routine during the day.
Face creams from the Immortelle collection are not recommended to be used in case of hypersensitivity to essential oil and allergy to salicylic acid, which is in the composition in a milder percentage, which is part of the preservative system.
No, salicylic acid is one of the natural preservatives approved for use in certified cosmetics. It is part of the conservation system and is not a treatment percentage.
Due to the high content of nourishing oils such as almond, olive and apricot kernel oils, which can potentially prove to be comedogenic on certain skin types, the Extra Rich Cream is not recommended for use on skin prone to irregularities.

In this case, we suggest using the Regenerative cream with immortelle oil or the Mattifying fluid Smilje, which is ideal for oily skin with irregularities.

For mixed skin type prone to irregularities Regenerative Cream Immortelle is ideal for skincare routine.

It is a hydrating emulsion that quickly absorbs into the skin, smoothes it, mattifies it and makes a good foundation for the application of decorative cosmetics.

Oil of green coffee, among other things, stimulates the blood flow of the skin, so after applying the cream it is possible a temporary appearance of redness. This phenomenon is a sign of the effect of oil as an active substance.

The texture of the CC cream is lightweight and suitable for use on all skin types, including mixed skin.

Due to the slightly higher comedogenic potential of macadamia oil and the concentration contained in the composition, the use of CC creams is not recommended for skin prone to clogged pores and acne.

In order to achieve the mattified effect, the CC cream can be blotted with the powder.

At first glance, the shade of Olival CC Natural Cream can make the impression of a different color, which is possible primarily due to the use of natural oils in the composition.

At the moment when the cream is squeezed out of the pump can come to a different shade than the one previously used. However, since the formulation contains a standardized percentage of pigments, when applied to the face the cream adapts to the complexion.

Vitamin B3 cream with niacinamide, squalane and magnolia bark extract will suit oily skin best.

Oil booster

Since it contains a combination of nutritious oils of slightly higher comedogenic potential, such as olive and apricot seed oil, Golden Immortelle Oil is intended for the dry and delicate skin.

It is not recommended for skin with chronic conditions such as rosacea.

Omega elixir is a nutritious oil intended for deep evening care of almost all skin types. It has a low viscosity and a light but nutritionally rich texture.

Based on a valuable complex of squalane from olive oil, avocado oil, chia seeds, blackberry seeds and evening primrose, Omega Elixir thoroughly moisturizes the skin, soothes it and restores its protective layer (hydrolipid barrier).

 

It prevents transepidermal moisture loss and acts reparationally and preventively against the effects of exposure to solar radiation and other external influences. Due to the natural properties of squalan in the form of a kinship of the natural fat of the skin itself, this oil is absorbed with exceptional ease, locks moisture into the skin and leaves it soft, elastic, nourished and protected.

The characteristic nut smell comes from the natural oils it contains, most notably chia seed oils and blackberry seeds.

Since Omega Elixir is a complex of squalane derived from olive oil and nutritious avocado oils, chia seeds, blackberry seeds and evening primrose that correspond to each skin type in the selected percentages, it can be used on dry as well as mixed skin.

Use is not recommended exclusively for more pronounced reactive and stronger oily skin otherwise prone to comedones. More details on the topic of oil comedogenicity are available in our blog post.

For certain skin types, the Omega Elixir will be sufficient on its own or with the serum. But the full potential of this oil is shown in combination with other products, especially serum and cream. Since the order of "layered" application is based on product textures, it is recommended to start with water and finish with oil textures.

This creates a protective layer that prevents from moisture loss and helps to exploit the full potential of active substances such as hyaluronic acid.

In doing so the important rule is "less is more"- it is enough to use only a few drops of serum, then the amount of cream in the size of a pea and then a few drops of oil. 

SPF Face Cream

Since Professional facial fluid SPF 30 is primarily intended for protection against UV radiation and skin care and is not a treatment product based on niacinamide, it is a concentration that supports the hydration effect. These products can be used in addition to treatment products with a higher concentration of niacinamide.
Both products are somewhat waterproof, but due to the formulation in the direction of the daily SPF for year-round protection and care, they are not fully waterproof or communicated as such. You can also use them on the beach, with regular renewal of products in sufficient quantity every time you bathe, sweat or every 2 hours.
Professional serums contain ethylated ascorbic acid as a derivative of vitamin C, and it is suitable for combining with niacinamide.
In addition to the classic SPF, we suggest the introduction of Sun Stick Multiprotect SPF 50 to protect particularly sensitive areas that sweat a lot (nose, bridge of nose, edge of forehead).
